Do SPOTICAR Offer part exchange?

Yes, we offer a part exchange valuation tool on the Spoticar.co.uk website. The valuation tool asks you for a minimum amount of information, it then analyses the Retail value of like for like vehicles and then creates a part exchange value based on costs that a Retailer will face when agreeing to buy the car from you. We assume that the vehicle is in very good condition and has all the relevant paperwork; registration document, service history for example. Your local SPOTICAR retailer will then be able to provide you with a firm offer once they have had an opportunity to view your vehicle in person. This may differ to the initial value provided on the SPOTICAR valuation tool and the retailer has the final decision in what they agree to pay to buy your part exchange.

What warranty is included with SPOTICAR purchases?

Every car is equipped with a minimum 12 months SPOTICAR warranty and 12 months roadside assistance. The warranty is administered by our chosen partner, either Car Care Plan or Allianz, contact details further below. The Roadside Assistance is administered by RAC and offers roadside assistance, onward travel, recovery, home start and European cover.

Why has the list price of a car changed?

The price of any used vehicle displayed on the SPOTICAR website is the price our franchised retailer partner has decided best represents the value of that vehicle to a Retail customer. Retailers will review their pricing on a regular basis to ensure it remains competitive in a fast-moving marketplace, so prices may change on a regular basis. You can compare vehicles on the website and store search parameters, in order, to monitor price movements. In some instances prices may go up as well as down reflecting the supply and demand certain vehicles will represent.

Is the vehicles history reliable?

We require our SPOTICAR network to undertake a check of the vehicles they are offering for sale. This check will be completed via a recognised body, such as HPI or Experian, to guarantee the vehicles have no outstanding finance and have not been stolen or written off prior to customer purchase.

What if I’m not happy with the car after collection/delivery?

As your contract of sale is directly with your chosen retailer they are in the best position to resolve any issue that you have.

Please inform your relevant SPOTICAR retailer about any issues straight away.  Any approved used vehicle purchased from a SPOTICAR retailer that develops a fault within 30 days of the delivery date, and the fault cannot be rectified may be exchanged for another approved used vehicle, at the same Retailer. Please ask for full terms and conditions at the time of purchase.
