We Buy Cars in New Cross, Lewisham
If a vehicle in New Cross has stopped being worth repairing, we will buy it from you. Engine and gearbox failures, accident damage, MOT failures with a big bill attached, cars that have sat on the drive for years — all of it.
Selling a car that does not run is usually the hardest part. For sellers in New Cross we make it simple: tell us the registration and what is wrong, we give you a price on the phone, and we collect it with our own truck free of charge.
Collection from anywhere in New Cross
Our own truck does the collection in New Cross, so there is no courier and no third party involved. New Cross is about 9.1 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via New Cross Road (A2) or Lewisham Way (A20), so same-day and next-day collections are normally easy to arrange. The vehicle does not need to run — non-runners, no-key vehicles and flat tyres are all fine.

We Buy Cars in New Cross — FAQs
How do you work out the price for my car?
From the make, model, age, mileage and what is wrong with it. Give us the registration and an honest description and we will give you a price on the phone. If the car matches the description, that is what we pay.
How quickly can you reach me in New Cross?
New Cross is about 9.1 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 30 to 50 minutes, normally coming in via New Cross Road (A2) and Lewisham Way (A20). Traffic, the time of day and how many jobs are running all move that, so when you ring 07961 100260 we give you a real window for that moment rather than a best case.
Do you buy cars that do not run?
Yes — non-runners, engine and gearbox failures, flood damage, no keys, flat tyres. That is most of what we buy.
Do you cover all of SE14?
Yes — every street in SE14, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Deptford, Brockley, Nunhead and Surrey Quays, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
How and when do I get paid?
By bank transfer before we load the car, so you never hand it over unpaid.
My car won't start at New Cross station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in New Cross, usually for a flat battery after the car has sat all day. Tell us which car park and roughly where you are parked. If it has a height barrier or a pay-on-exit gate, mention that too and we will send the right vehicle and sort the exit with you.
What paperwork do I need?
Ideally the V5C logbook and proof of ID. We notify the DVLA of the sale for you, so you are no longer responsible for the vehicle.
I have broken down on New Cross Road — what should I do?
That is a main road, so safety first: if the car can roll, get it to the kerb or into a side road, switch on your hazards, and wait somewhere safe away from the traffic — not in the car. Then ring 07961 100260. Red routes and bus lanes are enforced quickly, so we prioritise moving vehicles off them.
Is collection really free?
Yes. We collect with our own truck at no charge, from a driveway, the street, a garage or a car park.
Are you open at night and at weekends in New Cross?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across New Cross, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
