If you decide to place an order and buy on finance, you will be asked for your personal details and address, and then fill in a finance application online. You must be over 18 to apply for finance, and acceptance is subject to status. In some circumstances a guarantee may be needed.

A finance application can be completed on telephone with one of our professional finance advisors. 

If your finance application has been successful you will be notified and one of our team members will be in touch. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order merely constitutes an offer to enter into your chosen finance package, subject to these Terms & Conditions and the terms of the finance agreement. Even if your finance application is approved, there may be circumstances in which we are unable to accept your order. If this is the case, we will inform you of this by email or telephone. This might be because the vehicle has already been sold, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the vehicle, because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified, because we suspect the transaction may be fraudulent or for any other reason at our sole discretion.

If your application has not been successful one of our team members will be in touch via telephone or email.

Once our finance company partner has confirmed acceptance of your offer, you will be sent an order confirmation by email. At that point a contract will be formed between you, us and our finance company partner for the finance and use of your new vehicle.

Our Financing Method

When purchasing your vehicle on finance HP (Hire Purchase) is what is offered from us. It is important that you select the finance product that is most appropriate for your individual circumstances. You will have the opportunity to review products and customise a suitable monthly payment (adjusting the term, deposit). It is your responsibility to read the terms and conditions surrounding each product and ensure you are comfortable with the financial commitment you are making before taking out a finance agreement. Before we complete any finance we charge a Holding fee of £95 which is only refunded upon the completion of deal/ receipt of funds. 

Hire Purchase (HP)

Hire Purchase is where you pay an initial deposit and then pay the balance over an agreed period of time in equal monthly payments. Typically agreements can run from 2 to 5 years. The vehicle remains the property of the finance company until you make the last payment. If you settle early, you will be offered a rebate of some of the interest. However, you may find, with a small initial deposit, if you settle very early, the amount owing may be more than the vehicle is worth.

Paying in Full

With orders paid in full, (Cash, Card or Bank Transfer) you will be asked for your personal details, address and payment card information. 

After placing an order, you will receive an email/ SMS from us that acknowledges our receipt of your order and funds. We will inform you of the next steps required to proceed to handover after the Order Confirmation, including arrangements regarding any part-exchange vehicle.

If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this by email or telephone. This might be because the vehicle has already been sold, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the vehicle, because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified, because we suspect the transaction may be fraudulent or for any other reason at our sole discretion. For this we will offer a refund to the original payment method.

If we are unable to accept your order, we will refund your money in full as soon as possible, usually within 1-5 days.

For full payment of card payment on the telephone, before delivery we will require proof/ ID of yourself, the card used to purchase vehicle and proof of funds leaving account. 

Paying a Reservation Fee online

If you choose to reserve a car by paying a reservation fee, you will be asked to enter your personal details, address and payment card information. When you click on “submit payment”, the amount of the reservation fee will be debited from your payment card immediately.

After paying a reservation fee, you will receive an email from us that acknowledges receipt. Please note that this does not mean that your reservation has been accepted. All reservations are subject to acceptance by us, as we need to check that the car has not already been sold or reserved by someone else. We will confirm our acceptance of your reservation by sending you a confirmation.

Your vehicle will be reserved for 10 days. We will be in contact with you to discuss the next steps required to complete your purchase.

If you decide not to purchase the vehicle, you can request a refund of the reservation fee at any time by contacting [email protected] Your payment will be refunded only if it was a reservation and no work to be done to prep the car which you will receive, within 1-5 working days.

We must receive notification of your desire to cancel your purchase and your finance agreement within 14 days of finance activation.

When you own the vehicle

You own the vehicle once we have received payment in full. Title will not pass to you until we confirm that this has taken place.

Part Exchange

On our website you may obtain a valuation for your current vehicle by entering the registration number. The value of the vehicle may then be applied towards the deposit for the vehicle you are purchasing. If there is finance outstanding on your vehicle, we will settle this and any remaining value will be put towards your deposit. If the outstanding finance is more than the value of your car, you will need to settle it yourself before handover.

You will need to hand over your part exchange vehicle on delivery or collection of your new car. At the same time, you must give us the logbook (V5 registration certificate), service history, MOT certificate (if applicable) and all sets of keys. When you hand over your vehicle, the title to it will pass to us.

Our representative will inspect the vehicle before handover. If the condition, mileage or other valuation parameter of the vehicle is not as described by you upon valuation, we will have the right to adjust the value of the vehicle. If this results in a deficit of the amount due to us for your new vehicle, you will be required to make up the shortfall before your new vehicle is handed over to you. We will discuss available options, which may include payment by debit or credit card, or adding the shortfall to your finance (if applicable).


Collection and Delivery

During the online order process, you will be asked to choose how you would like to receive your vehicle. You will be given the following options:

Costs and lead-in times will be displayed for each option. These are estimated lead-in times only and we cannot promise to have the car ready within those timeframes (for the avoidance of doubt, if a delivery time/date is displayed, this will be an estimate only). The actual collection or delivery date will be confirmed by email or telephone and may be subject to change. If our supply of your ordered vehicle is delayed by an event outside our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know, and take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event outside our control, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund where you have paid for but not received the vehicle. You must notify us of your decision to cancel in these circumstances by sending a clear statement of your intent to [email protected]
