Prestige Franchise Part Exchanges

All our vehicles are part exchanges from Prestige Franchise Main Agents - we do not buy from any other sources.

We are very particular what we buy, we turn down literally dozens of cars every week and cherry pick only the best examples we are offered - incidentally all the cars we turn down are bought by other dealers and find their way onto Auto Trader !

A lot of internet based dealers these days are totally focused on price, hoping to appeal to people who are looking for a "bargain". The only way they can do this is to buy cheap cars and scrimp on preparation, they cannot afford to buy the best cars from bona fide sources and they cannot afford to prepare them properly at those prices. Do you think these dealers will be interested when your "bargain" goes bang ? Will they still be there, or trading under a different name a few miles down the road ?

The old saying "you get what you pay for" is just as true in the Motor Trade as in any other business. At Southams, you get what you pay for. We buy only the best cars and we prepare them properly, we will not compromise on quality in an effort to be the cheapest, the reputation of our company and the satisfaction of our customers is worth more to us than that. We have been trading for over 25 years and at a time when many dealers are closing down we are expanding our business. This must tell you something about the standard of our cars and the way we treat our customers.

Our vehicles are thoroughly prepared in an independent workshop - this is a totally independent company, not connected to us in any way, it's in their interest to find things wrong because they get paid to put it right ! We have very very few warranty claims, perhaps half a dozen each year out of all the cars we sell. We prefer to put things right before our customers get the car. This means our customers have peace of mind, total confidence in their cars and are not inconvenienced by being off the road. It doesn't do our reputation any harm either, which is probably why the vast majority of our customers buy from us again and again, and recommend us to their families and friends.

We have customers buying directly off this website from all over the world !

We specialise in older prestige and sports cars with low mileage, good specification and excellent Service Histories and typically stock Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes Benz and Porsche models. We are genuine car enthusiasts and tend not to deal in the mundane, for us, and our customers, motoring is more than just transport.

Please note, we also offer MOT's and servicing of prestige models through our independent specialist.
