The part exchange you won’t retail is the car another dealer is looking for.
ShowroomNow is a marketplace where dealerships buy from and sell to each other. Move stock that doesn’t fit your forecourt, source stock that does, and deal dealer to dealer. We make the introduction; the money for the car stays between you.

Apply with your company, VAT and motor trade insurance details. Anyone can browse the stock, but we check every dealership before it can see prices, buy, sell or make an offer.
List or bid in minutes
Put a part exchange in front of the whole trade the day it lands, or find stock that fits your forecourt and make an offer.
We introduce you
Agree a price, pay your ShowroomNow fee, and we put the two dealerships in touch. You meet, inspect the car and settle up directly at handover.
Your competitors see the car. They don’t see you.
Nobody wants the dealer down the road knowing what they took in last week or what they paid. Every listing is anonymous and every conversation runs through us.
No names, no numbers
Listings show the car and the region it is in. Never the dealership, whether you are a member or just browsing.
Screened messaging
Questions go through the platform. Phone numbers, emails and links are stopped before they arrive.
Masked registrations
Other dealers see only the first four characters, and number plates are blurred automatically in every photo.
Details released at the right time
Buyer and seller only learn who each other are once a price is agreed and both have paid their fee.
Free to join. You only pay when a car sells.
No subscription and no listing fees. List as much stock as you like.
Of the agreed price, plus VAT. Minimum £150, capped at £750 per vehicle.
Flat fee per vehicle, plus VAT, for the introduction.
