Send the reg, get a firm offer on WhatsApp, usually within the hour. We collect anywhere in Ireland and the money is in your account before we take the keys. Cars, SUVs, vans, campers and motorhomes.
Reg and mileage in, a firm offer back on WhatsApp. No obligation.
Opens WhatsApp with your details filled in. Nothing is sent until you press send. You'll be talking to Matthew, not a call centre.
Matthew Moore. In the motor trade since 1998, main-dealer trained. You deal with me from first message to payment.
Selling privately means weeks of messages and strangers on the driveway. Trading in means a number buried in a deal. This is the third option.
Home, work, a storage yard, a farm shed. No branch, no queue, no driving it anywhere. Dublin and the commuter counties same or next day; the rest of the country within the week.
High mileage, no NCT, warning lights, finance outstanding, a dent, a motorhome that's been sat. We don't have a list of cars we won't buy. You get a real offer.
Bank transfer at collection, and you watch it land before the keys change hands. No drafts, no cash, no three-to-five working days.
Reg in the morning, offer within the hour, collected and paid the same afternoon for most of Dublin. The whole thing usually takes less than 24 hours.
Priced on what the same model, year and mileage is actually selling for in Ireland this week, not a table from last year. Got a written quote from someone else? Send it; we'll match it or tell you to take it.
No admin fees, no listing charges, no deductions for normal wear, and no drop on arrival unless the car isn't what the photos showed. Valid for 7 days, in writing.
The first step takes thirty seconds and asks for nothing but the reg.
Type it in with the mileage, or send a photo of the number plate on WhatsApp. That's all we need to start; no forms, no personal details.
Matthew replies with a number, or with two questions and a request for four photos. Usually within the hour during the day. In writing, valid for 7 days, no obligation.
We come to the car, check it matches the photos, and you confirm the transfer has landed before we leave. We file the change of ownership the same day.
There's no list of vehicles we won't buy. Here's what that means in practice.
VAT-qualifying or margin, single or thirty. Quoted today, collected this week. Selling a van →
Any age. We come to where it's stored, bring the damp meter, and pay on the day. Selling a motorhome →
Based in Dublin, buying everywhere. Distance changes when we can get there, not whether.
The extra few hundred euro a private sale might get, if everything goes perfectly, rarely covers the weeks of waiting, the strangers at the door and the paperwork.

|---|---|---|
| Time to sell | Weeks of listing, messages and no-shows | Same day or next day |
| Payment | A transfer or draft you hope clears | Bank transfer confirmed before the keys move |
| Where it happens | Strangers at your house, test drives on your insurance | One visit, from us, at a time you pick |
| The price | Asking price minus whatever the buyer talks you down | One written offer, valid 7 days, no haggling on the day |
| Paperwork | You post the VRC and hope the change goes through | We file the change of ownership and send you confirmation |
| Fees | DoneDeal listing, bumps, your time | None |
| Awkward cases | Finance, no NCT, damage all scare private buyers off | All bought, priced in |
I'm Matthew Moore. I started in the motor trade in 1998 as a technician, worked through main dealers, and have been buying and selling vehicles since. Bluechapel MB is me, a phone, and a van.
That's deliberate. There's no sales floor to feed and no call centre reading a script, so the offer you get is the offer I'd pay, and the person who quotes it is the person who turns up.
From what the same model, year and mileage is actually selling for in Ireland right now, less what it costs us to prepare and resell it. Condition, NCT, service history and colour move it. You get one number, in writing, valid for 7 days.
Yes. We get a settlement figure from the finance company, pay them directly, and pay you the balance. It's the most common situation we deal with.
Both fine. If it's a family member's car we need them on the paperwork. No NCT just means the offer reflects it; we don't need you to get one first.
Bank transfer at the point of collection. You see it land before we drive away. Most sellers have the money the same afternoon.
Yes: cars and SUVs from 2010 on, vans single or fleet, and camper vans and motorhomes of any age. Each has its own page above.
Then you keep the car. There's no obligation at any point before the money is in your account, and we don't chase.
Send the reg, or a photo of the number plate. Firm offer back, usually within the hour.
