We buy used cars in Leiria and the surrounding region. In a district with fewer buyers than Lisbon or Porto, selling privately can take a while. With us, you agree on the inspection, get a written offer and decide without pressure.

> General information. Any figure given before the inspection is only indicative. No offer is binding until both parties sign a sale contract. Service only for cars located in Portugal.

## Short answer

- Where: Leiria and neighbouring municipalities; elsewhere in the Centre, ask.
- Inspection wherever we agree: home, work or a car park.
- Written offer, with the date it is valid until.
- Payment only by bank transfer to an account in your name, if you accept.
- No obligation: if you refuse, you owe nothing.

## Areas where we come to see the car

| Area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Leiria city | All parishes |
| Coast | Marinha Grande, Vieira de Leiria |
| South and east | Batalha, Porto de Mós |
| North | Pombal |
| Further away | Alcobaça, Nazaré, Ourém: ask, we arrange it case by case |

The list is indicative. Tell us where the car is and we reply straight away whether we can get there.

## How it works in Leiria

1. **Request** Make, model, year, mileage and where the car is. Photos are optional. No account needed.
2. **Appointment** We agree with you on the date and place of the inspection.
3. **Inspection** We check documents, mileage, bodywork, interior, engine and gearbox.
4. **Offer and payment** You get the offer in writing. If you accept it, we agree on the sale documents before any payment.

## When selling to a buyer makes sense

Selling privately usually gets the highest price, but it takes time: photos, a listing, calls, viewings and test drives. Outside the big cities there are fewer interested buyers, and a listing can stay up for weeks.

Selling to a buyer trades part of the price for simplicity: a written figure, no listing and no strangers at your door. Look at the differences calmly in [private sale, trade-in or buyer](https://tugacarro.com/en/vender-carro-particular-retoma-ou-comprador/).

## How we work out the offer

The offer takes into account the model, year, mileage, the condition checked at the inspection and the repairs needed. We deduct the repairs the inspection finds and our resale costs. We do not publish percentages.

Before you ask, you can get an idea of your car's value with our guide [what is my car worth](https://tugacarro.com/en/quanto-vale-o-meu-carro/).

## What the inspection covers

- Documents: registration certificate, IUC and periodic inspection (IPO).
- Mileage and the service history you show us.
- Condition of the bodywork, glass, tyres and interior.
- Engine and gearbox: starting, visible leaks, warning lights on the dashboard.
- Accidents: visible signs of repair or repainting.

Not covered: test drive on public roads, mechanical or electronic diagnostics, accident history outside Portugal.

## Frequently asked questions

**Will you come to Leiria to see the car?** Yes. We agree with you on the date and place in Leiria or the surrounding municipalities.

**Does the valuation cost anything?** No. The request and the inspection are free and without obligation.

**Do you pay in cash?** No. We pay only by bank transfer to an account in the seller's name.

**Does the car have to be in my name?** Yes, or you need to bring the documents that allow the sale. If the car has a loan or retention of title, it has to be paid off before payment.
