Latest Review on Google

“Everyone that works at Trade Classics has a genuine passion for cars, & it shows. The valuation guideline was spot on. I went above & beyond preparing my car for sale spending £4,000 on a full service, new brake pads, discs & tyres to ensure the new owner had the best possible car on the market. We made that back on the sale price, so in essence, it gave me a very enjoyable, memorable year of free motoring in a wonderful machine. The best bit was that I wasn’t charged a penny for the sale. Only the buyer paid a 6% + VAT fee. I can’t recommend them enough.”
