How much can I renegotiate when collecting the vehicle?

Important information

  • Our expectation is that vehicles are properly profiled by sellers and examined online by dealers, minimising any need to renegotiate the vehicle price during inspection
  • Your seller has the legal right to walk away from your deal at any point – this may become more likely if you renegotiate during collection.

Undisclosed damage and prep costs 

  • At times, it’s possible that you find damage that was not disclosed, that goes beyond a minor repair or wear and tear
  • For older or high-mileage vehicles, we ask you to allow up to £250 additional prep costs.

Adjustment & Cancellation form

Price amendment information

  • Any changes you suggest to the price must reflect an accurate cost to repair, and must be more significant than minor wear and tear
  • This will have been broadly indicated by our Bronze, Silver, and Gold exterior condition grading system
  • Use this form whether you inspect the vehicle in person, or receive the inspection info over a phone call with a Motorway Transport driver.

Additionally, Motorway aims to contact all sellers after vehicle collection to discuss the transaction and the final agreed price.

This is why you must update us if the price paid for the vehicle differs from the original bid price.

Please note, in the event a vehicle is reduced by an amount that would result in the fee being reduced, you will still be invoiced for the original fee which is based on the winning bid.

When using Motorway Pay to pay the seller, you have an additional option to report undisclosed damage and either adjust the price, cancel, or proceed. These steps must be followed after having also used the Adjustment & Cancellation form.

If you are part-way through transacting on Motorway Pay, but have not filled in the Adjustment & Cancellation form yet, please complete the form so Motorway can verify it, and ensure your seller is in agreement with your proposed new price, before completing the transaction on Motorway Pay.
