Please do not wait for this email – if you email us straight away with your mobile number included, we will call you ASAP the following morning.  Please note, if you have made no attempt to contact us within this 24 hour period, we cannot guarantee the item will still be available, it may be offered elsewhere. Full payment must be made within 5 days and any we reserve the right to ask for a fully refundable £100 holding deposit. Collection is strictly by appointment only please as the car may not necessarily be at our site at the close of the auction. ANY NON –SHOWING  WINNING BIDDER WILL BE LEFT A NON PAYMENT STRIKE, TOTALLY WITHOUT EXCEPTION, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF EXCUSE, WE'VE SEEN THEM ALL AND ARE FED UP OF PEOPLE SAYING THEY WILL TURN UP 4 DAYS LATER AND NEVER DOING SO (HENCE THE HOLDING DEPOSIT) IF YOU WIN, YOU SHOW, OR GET A NON PAYMENT STRIKE, IT'S THAT SIMPLE! 


WHAT TO EXPECT FROM US & THE ITEM  


You will have unlimited time to test drive & inspect your prospective purchase, you can bring a mechanic etc.  if you wish, you will be left totally alone to do this. There is no obligation to purchase if after your test drive & inspection you are not satisfied with the item..  Please note that this IS NOT A BRAND NEW CAR, it is a second hand and will invariably have shortcomings which you may wish to address.   Please take into consideration the age & mileage of the car. 


EXTERIOR 


 Expect to see marks and imperfections on the bodywork etc. commensurate with the age and mileage.  WE ALWAYS POST HI-DEFINITION PHOTOS OF THE ITEM SO PLEASE INSPECT THEM CAREFULLY as we do not provide accurate guidance of the bodywork condition. It is usual  that a used car has historically received repair/paint at some point in its life, so expect to find evidence of such. ALL OUR CARS ARE HPI CLEAR OF ACCIDENT DAMAGE UNLESS STATED CLEARLY IN THE TITLE.

 

INTERIOR 


Again expect to see marks & imperfections commensurate with the age and mileage. There are a lot of electrical components on vehicles many of which will be untested by ourselves. These cars are not brand new, there will always typically be some things not working fully; the usual suspect is the parking sensors for example.


 DRIVE


 AGAIN, Please take into consideration, this IS NOT A BRAND NEW CAR, this is a second hand car and will drive accordingly, please take into consideration the age & mileage of the car when accessing the test drive. The usual suspects to again to expect are clonking coming from the bushes, a slight vibration/noise from flywheel or the brake pads being low for example. 


TO SUMMARISE  


Expect this item to require further money to be spent on it, it is up to you to decide at the point of inspection how much, if you feel it is more than you anticipated, again you are under no obligation to proceed. We suggest you expect to have to spend at least £400 as a guide price, (please note, this is a guide, you might get very lucky and not have to spend a penny straight away or it could be 3 times that!) We’ve found from our customer’s experience, that most people’s issues will fall within the £400 expectation, for the rectification of any issues they have found.   We will always endeavour to disclose any known issues, but we have a very limited opportunity to assess this item, unlike you, whose time is unlimited!  Overall examples of things you will need to spend money on are tyres, flywheel/clutch, brake pads/discs, ball joints/top mounts, wheel bearings, chips/cracks in windscreen or check light on the dash ie. airbag light or eml. This inevitably means we will sell these cars for less than other outlets. We do not negotiate on the final bid price, we make clear what your expectations should be, and these will negatively impact the final bid price accordingly.  ALL BIDDERS HAVE HEREBY BEEN ADVISED OF EXACTLY WHAT TO EXPECT, SO THERE WILL BE NO GROUNDS FOR FURTHER NEGOTIATION. & EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS FURTHER MONEY WILL HAVE TO BE SPENT ON THIS ITEM.  If our terms are likely to dissuade you from purchasing this item, we respectfully suggest we will not be able to provide the services you are looking for. Look upon us as an online auction company, with some key differences to other auction sites out there; 1) We allow unlimited test drives PRIOR to purchase & 2) There are no additional buyer’s fees on top, which you do not get at any other auction sites. 3) Consumer regulations apply for public (not trade) unlike public auctions!  IF YOU LOOK AT OUR 98% POSITIVE FEEDBACK RATING (GIVE OR TAKE) FOR OVER 3000 SECOND HAND CARS AND CONCENTRATE ON THE 2% NEGATIVE REVIEWS FROM BUYERS WHO CANNOT UNDERSTAND OUR CLEAR TERMS, AGAIN YOU MAYBE BETTER OFF ON A RETAIL FORECOURT THAN OUR AUCTION PREMISES. Please do not let our terms or description come over as aggressive, we are friendly, polite & will try to be as helpful as humanly possible. TIME is precious, our terms & expectations are set up NOT TO WASTE YOURS!  So please do TAKE THE TIME TO READ ALL THE ABOVE AND NOT WASTE OURS!
