Part Exchanges
Great prices for your Part Exchange
We are happy to accept part exchange on vehicle purchases, all we need is the full registration and mileage of your current car to be able to give you an approximate valuations. Of course this valuation can vary slightly due to condition of the vehicle when we see it, so the more transparently you can describe the car the more accurate our quote can be over the phone. Alternatively, just come down and see us for a price. This can often be a little more straight forward.
A simple as a click of a button
Book your test-drive online
You can call us on the numbers at the bottom of the page and you can place a fully refundable £100 deposit on the vehicle which secures it and takes it off sale until you are ready to come and view the car.
**Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic our test drives are restricted to the boundaries of the car park out the front of our site.**
