Selling a high-mileage, diesel or damaged car through our export network

We pass on cars built in 2008 or later, for example:

• cars with a mileage above 200,000 km;
• diesel cars;
• ex-lease cars;
• company vans;
• cars with damage.

Not sure whether your car fits? Send the details anyway and we will tell you.

1. You send the details. The registration number, make and model, year of manufacture, mileage, fuel, condition and any damage, plus photos. Use the form below or WhatsApp.
2. We pass the car on. We put the details in front of our network of car dealers abroad. They may make an offer.
3. You decide. We pass any offer on to you. Accepting it is your decision alone.
4. The export papers. If you accept, the transfer for export can take place at our desk in Hengelo.

We give no time frame for offers, and there is no certainty that one will come. An offer is not binding for you: asking is without obligation, so you can turn it down at no cost.

Complete details help a dealer abroad to judge the car. Send:

• the registration number, make and model;
• the year of manufacture and the mileage;
• the fuel type;
• the condition, including any damage;
• photos of the car, including the damage.

The form below has no upload field, so use the WhatsApp button for photos and documents next to it, or send them by e-mail.

The car is not transferred to the foreign buyer in the Dutch register. Instead, the buyer exports it in their own name, which is what the RDW (the Dutch vehicle authority) advises. You, as the seller, receive the vrijwaringsbewijs: the proof that the Dutch registration has ended. The buyer receives the export documents they need and, if they drive the car to its destination, export insurance and two white export plates.

How these papers work, and why the export should be in the buyer's name, is explained in our guide to the Dutch export certificate and deregistration. For the buyer's side of the process, see buying a car in the Netherlands.

Asking for an offer is free and without obligation for you. The buyer pays for the export papers and, if needed, for the insurance and plates. We arrange those papers as an RDW-recognised export company. With complete papers, a standard export at the desk in Hengelo is usually ready in about 15 minutes.

If you are leaving the Netherlands and would rather not take your car, you can ask for an offer before you go. Decide to take it with you after all? Then we arrange the export papers and white plates for your own journey; see how to apply for Dutch export plates.

To avoid misunderstandings:

• we do not buy the car ourselves; offers come from dealers in our network;
• we do not value the car or name a price in advance;
• we do not promise that an offer will come.
