14 Day Money Back Guarantee

How it Works

People in Car Dealership

We’re confident in the quality of all our used vehicles with our thorough preparation process. However, if you decide it’s just not right for you, you can return it and get your money back within the first 14 days. There’s no haggle and no hassle, there’s just a few things we ask:

  • You haven’t done any more than 250 miles within the first 14 days from taking collection
  • You return it to the dealership you originally purchased it from
  • You fulfil all your legal responsibilities as the owner of the vehicle - including taxes, insurance and paying any fines you incur whilst driving it.
  • You keep the vehicle in the same condition as it was when you picked it up. Fair wear and tear is expected, but we'll need to charge for any new damage caused whilst the vehicle is in your care.
  • You return the car with the V5C logbook document, all keys, books (such as manuals and service books) and accessories (like floor mats and SD cards) that were supplied with it

 

How to Return a Car

Person Making a Booking

Looking to return a car? Here's how it works:

  1. Contact your supplying dealership through our dealer pages. We’ll need your details as well as the registration of the vehicle you are looking to return and your availability to attend an appointment with us within the 14 day period.
  2. Attend your appointment to return the vehicle at your supplying dealer, making sure to bring back everything that was supplied to you with the vehicle. You must bring your invoice and driving licence.
  3. One of our associates will do an appraisal of the vehicle with you. Should there be any deduction of the refund costs for any reasonable costs of rectification work needed, we’ll advise you there and then.
  4. Provided we have received the correct V5C (vehicle logbook), your refund will be processed by electronic bank transfer and will show within your account within 5 working days, depending on your bank.

FAQ

What happens if I’ve lost or damaged something that was supplied with the vehicle?

We’ll need to reduce the amount we refund you in line with the cost to us of replacing that item. How much we reduce your refund by depends on the item that’s gone missing or been damaged, along with the make & model of car. We’ll be able to clarify this during the vehicle appraisal.

I haven’t received my V5C log book from the DVLA, can I still return the vehicle?

We unfortunately cannot sell a vehicle without the log book, so a refund will only be available when we have received this, along with the vehicle. Please ensure you post it recorded mail or preferably bring it with you the same day you return the vehicle to store.

I part exchanged a vehicle to pay for the one I’m returning; do I still get a full refund?

Yes -we’ll refund the part exchange as part of the purchase price, unless works have been undertaken to prepare the part exchange for re-sale or we’ve settled any outstanding finance on the part exchange. In such circumstances, we’ll reimburse the amount allowed for the part exchange vehicle as set out on the Vehicle invoice net of the amount of any finance settlement paid by us.

I had the car delivered to my home address- will you collect it back?

No - if you aren't happy with the car, then you will need to return it to the supplying dealer. However, if there's something physically wrong with the vehicle (cosmetic or mechanical), then one of our associates will be happy to explore the different options with you.

I had add-on insurance and protection products when I purchased the vehicle, will you refund these?

Yes any add-ons will also be refunded and cancelled, along with the vehicle itself.

Can I exchange the vehicle rather than get a refund?

Of course – we have plenty of vehicles across our stock and our associates will be happy to help you find something more suitable.

How long does it take to get a refund once I’ve returned a vehicle?

Provided all the necessary document including the V5C have been returned, it could take up to 5 working days for the funds to appear in your account, depending on who you bank with.

I bought my vehicle on finance from Evans Halshaw, can I still return it?

Absolutely! We’ll simply contact our finance provider to ensure the agreement is cancelled for you.

Do I need to return the vehicle with the same amount of fuel?

Please make sure the tank isn’t empty by the time it reaches our dealership since we’ll need to run some checks before we can issue a refund. For electric cars, please make sure there’s enough charge to get to our store +10 miles.

Can I take the vehicle back to another dealership?

No, the vehicle must be returned to the store you originally purchased it from.
