We buy used cars in Lisbon, in Loures, where we are based, and in the surrounding municipalities. We agree on the inspection at your home, at work or elsewhere, send a written offer and, if you accept it, pay by bank transfer.

> 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: Lisbon, Loures and neighbouring municipalities; elsewhere in Greater Lisbon, ask.
- Inspection wherever we agree: home, work or a car park.
- Written offer, with the date it is valid until, after we see the car.
- Payment only by bank transfer to an account in your name, if you accept.
- No obligation: if you turn the offer down, you owe nothing.

## Areas where we come to see the car

We are based in Loures, so Lisbon and the municipalities around it are our daily ground. Examples of areas where we arrange inspections:

| Area | Examples |
|---|---|
| Lisbon city | All parishes |
| North of Lisbon | Loures, Odivelas, Sacavém, Moscavide, Vila Franca de Xira |
| Sintra line and Amadora | Amadora, Queluz, Cacém, Sintra |
| Cascais line | Oeiras, Carcavelos, Cascais |
| South bank | Almada, Seixal, Barreiro: 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 Lisbon

1. **Request** Give the 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 at the agreed place.
4. **Offer and payment** You get the offer in writing. If you accept it, we agree on the sale documents before any payment.

## Why sell this way in Lisbon

Selling privately in Lisbon usually means a listing, calls, viewings that never show up and haggling at the end. Selling to us is a different trade: you list nothing, you don't show the car to strangers and you get a written figure you can compare calmly.

In return, our offer accounts for the repairs the inspection finds and our resale costs, so it can be below the asking prices in listings. Compare the options in [selling privately, trade-in or to a buyer](https://tugacarro.com/en/vender-carro-particular-retoma-ou-comprador/).

## Leaving Portugal?

Many people in Lisbon sell their car before moving abroad and have no time to wait for a buyer. You can ask for the valuation before your departure date: the offer states how long it is valid, and we agree the sale date with you. The car has to be in Portugal and its papers in order.

## Frequently asked questions

**Will you come to see the car at my home in Lisbon?** Yes, or wherever we agree in and around Lisbon: home, work or a car park.

**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.

**What if the car still has a loan on it?** The loan or retention of title has to be paid off with the lender before payment. Tell us in the request.

**Do you buy cars outside Lisbon?** Yes, also in and around Porto and Leiria. Elsewhere, ask anyway and we'll tell you if we can.

**How long is the offer valid?** Each offer states how long it is valid. If the real condition differs from what was declared, the offer may change, and we say so before signing.
