How swapping works

1. List your vehicle

Create a listing with honest details, real photos and your asking price. Turn on Open to swaps and tell people what you'd consider.

2. Find a vehicle and make an offer

On any listing that's open to swaps, choose Make a swap offer, pick one of your active listings, and say whether cash is added and who pays it.

3. Negotiate

The other person can accept, decline or send a counter-offer. Every step is recorded in the offer history. Use messages to ask questions.

4. View, check and exchange

An accepted offer means you've agreed to proceed — not that anything has changed hands. Meet in person, inspect both vehicles, check the V5C documents, run history checks and arrange insurance before driving.

5. Both confirm completion

Once the exchange has physically happened, both parties confirm it in their dashboard. Only then is the swap marked complete and both listings closed.

About values

Advertised values are the sellers' asking prices. Guide prices are indicative ranges from comparable adverts. Neither is a verified valuation.
