Your Buying Journey
Your online purchase, clearly explained
From choosing your car to delivery in 5–14 days, your payment stays protected. You then have 14 days to decide before the purchase is final.
Confidence at Every Stage
A protected purchase takes more than a handshake
A private purchase can leave you relying on someone else's account of mileage, condition and history. Our process replaces that uncertainty with documented checks and clear payment protection.
A Typical Private Purchase
- Relying on the seller's mileage and history claims
- Mechanical faults a brief drive may not uncover
- Payment handed over without holding-account protection
- No included warranty or agreed returns protection
Your Central Car Purchase
- A full HPI check and a 168-point inspection using advanced diagnostics
- Payment remains protected in a secure holding account until acceptance
- 14 days to try the car on your own roads before completing the purchase
- A 12-month warranty for major mechanical parts, including the engine and gearbox
Your Purchase, Step by Step
Four clear stages. Confidence throughout.
We explain every stage in writing before payment, and your funds remain protected until you accept the vehicle.
Pick Your Car and Contact Us
Explore our full stock online, with complete photo galleries, specifications, history summaries and fixed, market-beating prices. When a car catches your eye, select Ask About This Car or speak to us by phone.
- A team member confirms availability and answers your questions, usually within one hour
- Your contract and invoice are sent by email that same day
- Arrange the whole purchase at home, without appointments, showroom visits or pressure
Agree the Contract and Pay Safely
After you sign, your payment goes into a protected holding account, keeping the funds secure until your car is delivered and you accept it.
- Before you agree, every amount is recorded in writing: the vehicle price, a fixed £200 administration fee, transport at £0.30 per mile and any registration fees that apply. No further costs are added later
- Payment is released only once you accept the vehicle after your inspection period
- If you choose to reject the car, your payment is returned in full
We Prepare and Deliver Your Car
Once we receive confirmation of your payment, we start clearing the vehicle. After its final checks and professional preparation, it is brought to you on a transporter with full insurance — carried to your address without adding road miles to the car.
- From confirmed payment to delivery, allow 5 to 14 days for the full process, with updates at each stage
- Mainland UK delivery is charged at £0.30 per mile
- Your keys and complete paperwork arrive at handover, including registration documents, the inspection report and HPI certificate
Get to Know Your Car for 14 Days
Your delivery date starts the 14-day test and inspection period. Use it for your commute or family journeys, and ask your own mechanic to inspect it. The vehicle remains insured throughout.
- If you are happy, confirm acceptance to complete the purchase and make the car yours
- If it does not suit you for any reason, you can reject it without financial risk
- We organise collection and arrange your prompt refund in full — without restocking fees or disputes
The Story Behind Our Prices
Good value has a clear explanation
Many of our cars come directly from bank and lease repossessions, often recovered early in their life. Those vehicles need to be sold promptly. Our prices reflect the cost of recovery and preparation rather than the highest price the market might accept.
- The same checks for every car — every car, including repossessions, completes the same 168-point diagnostic check before listing.
- History checked and confirmed — HPI records are checked, mileage is confirmed against the national register and finance is cleared before delivery.
- 12-month cover included — including major mechanical components such as the engine and gearbox.
- 14 days to decide — take two full weeks to see for yourself how the car fits your life.
When a Car Is Not Right for You
A return can be as simple as your purchase
Whether the car differs from its description or simply does not suit you, our return process has three steps and costs you nothing.
1. Contact the team
Call or email within your 14-day period. You do not need to find forms or justify your decision; telling us the car is not right is enough.
2. Arrange collection with us
We complete a straightforward return agreement and arrange a transporter to collect from your door. You do not need to travel or organise transport.
3. Receive your full refund
Your full payment is returned promptly from the holding account, with no restocking fee and no dispute over your choice.
Included for Your Reassurance
The protection your purchase comes with
Insurance from Transport to Inspection
Full insurance covers your vehicle during transport and continues throughout the 14-day inspection period.
Costs Agreed Before You Sign
Your contract lists the vehicle price, the fixed £200 admin fee, delivery at £0.30 per mile and any applicable registration fees before you sign. There are no later additions.
Mechanical Cover for 12 Months
Each car includes cover for major mechanical components, including the engine and transmission, with support from a nationwide repair network.
Complete Paperwork on Delivery
Your car arrives with its keys, registration documents, seven-page inspection report and HPI certificate, so the paperwork is ready at handover.
