Sell your car in Durham — fair prices, no hassle
Looking to sell your car in County Durham? Carsa Durham is conveniently located near the A1(M) and a short drive from Durham city centre, making us easy to reach from Chester-le-Street, Newton Aycliffe, Bishop Auckland, and Darlington. We accept all makes and models — no matter the age, mileage, or condition. Start with a free 30-second online valuation, then visit our store at a time that suits you. Our handover specialists will give your car a quick once-over, confirm your price, and arrange same-day payment. If you're part exchanging, we can settle outstanding finance with your lender as part of the deal. The whole process is designed to be quick, transparent, and completely pressure-free.
How it works
Enter your car registration
Enter your car's number plate so we can identify your car and begin your valuation.
Confirm the details of your car
Answer a few quick questions about its mileage, condition and service history. If you have any outstanding finance you can also let us know.
Get an instant valuation
Once you've completed the details, we’ll give you a part exchange valuation straight away.
What do you need to sell your car?
• A valid photo driving licence
• A valid V5C that matches your name, address and the number plates
• Evidence of your car's service history
• Handbook
• Any accessories that came with the car, such as locking wheel nuts, radio and key codes
• Sat nav discs
• MOT (if applicable)
• Spare keys
If you have outstanding finance, you can only Part Exchange, rather than sell your car directly to Carsa. If you are part exchanging you will need a letter from the finance company confirming their settlement figure.
Got finance left to pay?
No problem, many of our customers do. If your car’s still on PCP or HP finance, we’ll help you work out what’s left to pay and how part exchange fits in.
Please note: we can only accept vehicles with outstanding finance as part of a part-exchange when you are also buying a car from us.

Contact your lender to find out the exact amount needed to clear your finance.
Value vs settlement
If your car’s worth more than what you owe, the difference can go towards your next car.
