About We Buy Cars Hexham
family-run limited company • trading since August 2021 • Hexham, Northumberland
We Buy Cars Hexham is a family-run limited company based in Hexham, Northumberland.
We buy vehicles directly and offer sale-or-return for higher-value or specialist vehicles via
Sell For Me.
We usually provide free collection within 20 miles and cover wider areas by arrangement.
If you want the step-by-step detail, our full vehicle buying process is laid out separately.
How it works
We keep the process direct: real contact, realistic valuations, and collections carried out locally.
We do not operate as a public retail forecourt.
What we do
The route depends on the vehicle: direct purchase where appropriate, sale-or-return where it achieves a better outcome, and licensed recycling where a vehicle is end-of-life.
Direct buying
We buy cars and vans directly. Faults, high mileage, warning lights, MOT failures, bodywork damage and non-runners can still be considered.
If a vehicle sits above our normal buying band, it may be better handled via sale-or-return or partners instead of a blunt direct offer.
Sell For Me (Sale-or-Return)
Sell For Me is sale-or-return for higher-value or specialist vehicles. We collect, prepare and market the vehicle, and the seller approves the final deal before completion.
Trade partners & referrals
Some vehicles are best routed via trusted trade partners or handled as lead-based referrals, depending on buyer appetite and realistic market value.
Collections & recovery
Free local collections are usually available within our normal radius. Seized brakes, flat batteries and non-runners can still be collected safely.
If you specifically need transport rather than a sale route, see Recovery.
Probate / estates
We regularly work with executors, solicitors and estate agents: clear communication, collection, and traceable paperwork. If a vehicle suits sale-or-return, that route can be used.
Common items needed: keys, V5C/logbook (if available), and basic ID for the seller or executor.
Payment & handover
Payment is typically by instant bank transfer on collection. Cheque or cash can be possible by arrangement depending on circumstances.
We can also help you complete the DVLA keeper change during handover.
What we do not do
We do not operate as a public retail forecourt. We do not break vehicles for parts. The correct route is chosen based on the vehicle and what is realistic.
What happens to vehicles
- • Trade-to-trade resale where appropriate.
- • Repaired and resold when the numbers make sense.
- • End-of-life vehicles routed to licensed ATF recycling facilities (not processed by us directly).

Higher-value vehicles: the realistic route
