A car registered here keeps billing the name in the register, whatever is going on in your life. webuycar.nl exists to end that in a single visit: we name a price, drive to the car, and move it out of your name while you stand there.
Why this exists
Your name sits against the plate, and that is where the road tax lands, where the duty to insure sits, and where a speeding fine from a camera ends up. Handing someone the keys changes none of that. Changing the register does.
Three things have to line up before it changes. Two of them are pieces of paper you were given years ago and filed somewhere sensible. The third only appears once someone has worked through the procedure properly, which is where a well meaning private buyer tends to go quiet on you.
Posted to you in two halves, often years apart. Find both before you agree a date.
The moment ownership moves. Keys and cash change nothing until this is logged.
Proof the car stopped being yours at a precise minute. It is what ends the tax and the fines.
So we buy cars outright and do that part ourselves. The site is in English because the paperwork is not, and nobody arrives in this country already knowing these words.
Our side of it
Three things set it. What the register already holds on the car, what you tell us about its condition, and what that model is doing on the Dutch market right now. Photographs sharpen all three.
The offer is free and no fee is taken out of it later. Go quiet on us and one reminder email follows, then silence. Nobody telephones to ask what you decided.
We drive to it, anywhere in the country, villages included, at no cost. One that will not start, or has no valid APK, the Dutch roadworthiness test, goes on a transporter.
The RDW transfer is done during the visit, not posted off afterwards, and the proof of it stays in your hands. The money moves on the same visit.
And the alternatives
What separates them is who does the paperwork and how long your name stays on the car. Ours is the last one, and it is not the right answer for everybody.
Here the transfer is the buyer's job, not yours: they put the car in their own name online with DigiD or at a counter, using the card and the full code you hand them, and the proof comes back to you from them. A buyer also needs a Dutch address and an entry in the BRP, the population register, so not everyone who turns up can actually complete it.
Sensible if you are buying from that dealer anyway, and your name leaves the car in one appointment. The difficulty is arithmetic. The allowance for the old car and the price of the new one get settled in a single conversation, so ask for the two figures written down separately before agreeing to either.
A figure by email, with nothing committed on your side. Accept and we come to the car, change the register ourselves and pay during the visit. What you trade away is the chance that a slow private sale would have paid you more. What you get back is a date of your choosing and nothing left to chase.
Before you fill anything in
A message costs nothing and does not put you on a mailing list. If you cannot find half of your registration code, or you are not sure we would want the car at all, it is quicker to ask than to guess your way through a form.
No. The offer is free, there is no fee taken out of it later, and nothing is binding on you until you accept it.
Three inputs. What the register already holds about the car, what you tell us about its condition, and what that model is doing on the Dutch market at the moment. Photographs sharpen all three, because they show us your car and not the average one.
Tell us, and put your own figure on the offer page. We look at it again properly and come back with a yes or a no, and the reason behind whichever it is.
Yes, at no cost, anywhere in the country, villages included. Tell us the address, whether the car drives, and whether there is a gate, a barrier or a height limit between it and the road.
Your number plate is all we need to start.
