Buying A Used Approved Car

This is perhaps the safest way for buying a used vehicle. This means the vehicle is on a manufacturer "used approved" scheme. All vehicles under this scheme undergo rigorous mechanical checks and must have recognised and an accredited history.

Manufacturers build their status and name on their used approved scheme. They also strive to ensure that customers receive a fast and satisfactory service. Names such as Vauxhall's Network Q and Ford's Ford Direct have become well known and very reputable.

Benefits of buying used approved:

  • vehicles should be free of mechanical defects and problems.
  • an excellent source for well looked after vehicles.
  • competitive finance options.
  • vehicles often come with a free warranty, insurance and breakdown cover.
  • protected by the law under the sale of goods act.
  • manufacturer guarantees and code of practice.
