Blackpool’s top car sales on Motorway

Blackpudlians have sold all sorts of cars on Motorway, from Abarths to Volvos, and thanks to free home collection, their buyers come from as nearby as Preston and as far away as Canterbury.

So far, the highest-selling models in Blackpool on Motorway have been Range Rover, Vauxhall Corsa and Volkswagen Golf. This doesn't come as a big surprise; those models are all in the UK’s top 10 and are unlikely to dip in popularity with car dealers any time soon.

The best-selling car colours in Blackpool on Motorway are white, black and grey, with gold representing the least popular colour. Petrol engine cars have the highest-volume sales in Blackpool to date.

With Blackpool council having resisted calls to implement a Clean Air Zone that would charge locals for driving non-compliant vehicles, there’s no immediate rush for residents to ditch their diesel engine cars and vans.

Nearby Manchester and Liverpool have also declared they are unlikely to implement regulations that would charge residents, and are more in favour of improving their infrastructure for the gradual adoption of electric vehicles.

In fact, in 2022, Motorway named Manchester as the UK’s 4th best city for EV-readiness. This was based on an index of new and used EVs, charger availability per person, and clean air policies. With EV infrastructure improving all the time, Blackpool may quickly become a city where it’s affordable and feasible to drive an EV.

How does Motorway work?

When you sell your car on Motorway, dealers compete to give you their best price. And, thanks to their speedy car profiling process, you can have a sale agreed in as little as 24 hours.

To get started, just enter your reg and mileage on Motorway’s website or in the app and you’ll get an instant valuation for free. Because this will be based on live sales data for cars just like yours, your estimate will be as accurate as possible (based on your vehicle being in good condition.)

If you like the price, you can continue to profile your car in Motorway’s app, which is available on the App Store and Google Play Store. All you have to do is select answers to some quick questions about your car’s spec and condition, and take some photos with your phone’s camera.

Your car will then be entered into the daily online sale. Dealers will be shown your vehicle, and have the opportunity to bid in their best price. The winning offer gets sent to you at the end of the sale, and all you need to do to approve it is click the link in your email. Then it’s just a matter of choosing a date and time for them to come and collect your car – for free.

You’ll get the money straight into your bank account, and if your car is financed, the dealer will clear the remaining balance with your lender before paying you the surplus.
