Please
note, we no longer accept card payments. Bank transfer or cash only. Thank
you.
Terms and Conditions,
the unpleasant legal stuff !
Availability of Vehicles :
All our vehicles are offered on a first
come first served basis, vehicles are only withdrawn from sale upon
receipt of a deposit. Making an appointment to view does NOT secure
the car, if someone gets here before
you or wishes to buy directly from the website we cannot refuse to take
their order. We will accept £100 "reservation fee"
to
hold the car for 7 days giving you time to arrange
viewing, but please note this deposit is not refundable
under any circumstances as
we relinquish the opportunity to sell the car to someone else during the 7
day period. We will of course deduct this £100 when you
purchase the vehicle.
Cherished Numbers :
Where a cherished number is
displayed on any of our vehicles please always assume that the plate is NOT
included with the sale.
Deposits
: When
you place an order and leave a deposit you are entering into a legally
binding contract. The contract binds us to sell you the vehicle
and relinquish the opportunity to sell the car to someone
else, but it also binds you to buy the vehicle. If you
fail to complete the transaction or cancel the
order for any reason our company has a legal right to retain any deposit
paid. In the interests of fair and reasonable business practice we will not
normally withhold a large deposit, however we do incur costs in
processing your payment and in putting the vehicle back on sale. For this
reason we will retain the first £250 of any deposit paid
PLUS the cost of
any work we have carried out on the vehicle on your behalf.
If any refund is due payment will be made by bank transfer. Please be
certain you want the car before placing your order
and leaving a deposit !
Mileages :
All our vehicles are driven on a regular basis to keep them operating correctly, the recorded
mileage may therefore differ slightly from the mileage advertised or displayed
in our photographs. If the mileage of any vehicle changes significantly during
our tenure we will endeavour to update our advertisements, however you are
advised to check the current mileage of any vehicle before placing your order.
Part
Exchange : When
we accept a motor vehicle in part exchange it must be delivered to us in
the same condition as when we examined it, with the same accessories
fitted and nothing removed. If
the vehicle sustains damage, or a fault occurs,
or any accessories are removed before it is delivered to us, we reserve the
right to reject the vehicle entirely or to reduce the allowance given by
an amount appropriate to putting the vehicle back as it was at the time of
our inspection.
Payment Methods :
Due to Cardnet and
Worldpay increasing card processing charges we can no longer accept credit
or debit card payments, all payments must now be made by cash or bank
transfer. Please note, we cannot release any vehicle before payments have cleared with our bankers.
Bank transfers are not always "instant" and large payments are regularly
blocked by the banks in the interests of fraud prevention. We therefore
recommend all transfers are completed at least 24
hours prior
to collection or delivery. N.B. If you are having the vehicle delivered we
must be in receipt of cleared full payment before the vehicle is released to
the transport company.
Photography :
Our photographs are not edited
or enhanced in any way, other than being reduced in size for use on the
internet. All our photographs are a true and honest representation of our
vehicles, to the best of our photographic ability.
Pricing Adjustments :
Our prices
are checked against the current market values on a weekly basis to ensure
our cars are priced correctly. We often find the values of Classic Cars in
particular will increase during the time we own them, we therefore reserve
the right to adjust our prices, up or down, in accordance with the market
trends.
Test Drives and Insurance :
For insurance purposes all test
drives must be accompanied by a staff member and cover
our standard test drive route. Our insurers require photographic ID in the
event of any incident so please bring your driving license and photocard
with you
if you think you will require a test drive. If you do not wish to drive
the car yourself we are more than happy to "chauffeur" you over our test
drive route.
Vehicle Descriptions Disclaimer, please note :
Whilst every effort has been made to check the accuracy of the vehicle
descriptions and specifications given in our advertisements, some errors in compiling the
information may have occurred. In particular, when using
certain car marketing websites, many vehicle features are automatically
added by the website's software. You are therefore strongly advised to examine the
vehicle yourself and to check the accuracy of the information supplied before deciding
to purchase a vehicle described above. We cannot be held responsible for any
errors or discrepancies in vehicle descriptions or specifications which come to
light after the time of sale. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not
affected by this statement.
Warranty : We
will not knowingly sell a car with any major defect unless it is clearly
declared in on advertisements. All our vehicles are inspected
by an independent motor engineer
and taken to an independent
VOSA MOT testing station at the time of sale.
We take every reasonable step to ensure no major defects exist at the time
of sale but please consider the age of the vehicle and accept that on
older vehicles faults may occur at any time. Classic Cars
( cars over ten years old ) by their very
nature require continuous maintenance and repair and will not be as
reliable as a modern vehicle,
these vehicles are sold for ongoing restoration and repair and we cannot
reasonably be expected to guarantee a vehicle of this age will continue to
operate correctly. Modern cars ( cars under ten years
old ) we will happily
guarantee against major mechanical failure for 3 months or 3,000 miles
from the date of sale, subject to the terms and conditions which are set
out in the warranty documentation provided at time of sale.
