When buying a used car, it's important to ask the right questions.
Budget
At AvailableCar, we want to give our customers complete peace of mind when you buy from any of our car supermarkets. To help you find the perfect car, we give all of our staff training to become FCA accredited so they can advise you on the finance options we have available.
If you're part exchanging, they'll be able to help you determine the part exchange value of your existing vehicle, on which we pay any outstanding finance
Car Finance
We have several options for monthly repayments on a used car from AvailableCar including Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) and Hire Purchase (HP).
If you're browsing online, you can use our convenient finance calculator on any vehicle listing to determine how much money the vehicle itself could cost you on a monthly basis. This doesn't take into account running costs such as road tax, maintenance or fuel/ charging, the price of which can fluctuate. You'll also need to consider the cost of insurance on the vehicle.
HPI check
All vehicles at AvailableCar undergo an HPI check when they're brought into our stock. An HPI check tells us how many previous owners the vehicle has, whether it's been stolen or in an accident, and if there's any outstanding finance on the vehicle.
We check all of our cars' MOT histories, V5C paperwork (registration document), VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and general history for mileage discrepancies. We do this when it's brought into our pool of cars, and again when it leaves, so our customers can have complete peace of mind. If any cars don't meet our exacting standards, we won't put it up for sale.
Aside from the paperwork, we also service our vehicles before they go out on display. Engine, suspension and brakes are all maintained by our technicians to make sure they're in good condition.
