New CarsFrequently Asked Questions
Totally safe, secure and reliable - no hidden costs, charges or drawbacks!
Why So Cheap, Are These Cars UK Supplied? Yes they are UK supplied from Citroen dealerships exactly as normal, brand new 1st registered to you with all the normal UK wide warranties and deals etc. Because there are no showroom overheads the prices can be offered at a very low level. Are These Cars Pre-Registered? No. Unlike others you may have seen on the internet ours are all brand new, 1st registered to you. If you see a lower price than ours it is very likely to be a fleet discount which may be pre-registered or may not get any extra deals currently on offer such as free or low cost servicing, low rate finance etc. Also bare in mind that in the event of a write-off accident some insurance companies will treat pre-registered cars as having been a used car when purchased. Pre-reg is fine as long as savings are large enough to offset any potential drawbacks! Can I Order A Very Specific Car? Yes you can order a car with any factory options you like and it's generally no more than 7 weeks for delivery unless it's over the summer holiday or christmas period in which case it can be 2 or 3 weeks longer. The only exception to ordering a specific car is where the price quoted is marked on the site as a special short term discount which may only apply to cars that can be registered this month and in that case it would be a question of trying to find a suitable ready built car for you that is available within that time. Who Do I Pay? You pay NOTHING to us! You pay the supplying franchised Citroen dealer directly for total safety (and we only use the best, most reliable dealers!). Pay a deposit directly to them to order the car and then you don't pay the balance until you receive it! Most people go for a credit card deposit and balance by debit card when they receive the car, but other payment options are also available. How Do I Pay? Normally a £200 deposit by credit card etc, balance on delivery by debit card. You can pay the full amount by credit card but the dealer would need to charge you at least part of the credit card company's fee of 1.5% (ie £15 per £1000). (NOTE: Some people like to pay by credit card for the extra peace of mind provided by the credit consumer act. Remember that you only have to pay the deposit by credit card to achieve this protection for the full total amount, regardless of how the balance is paid.) Is VAT Included On The Car Prices? Yes our prices are always quoted as fully 'on the road'. That means the VAT is included as well as number plates, DVLA 1st reg fee and 12 months road tax and you can even apply for the 7 day free insurance to help with the change over if you like! Apart from any extras you may want such as metallic paint, the only thing to add to the prices you see is a possible delivery charge depending on your location - or you can collect. Can I Collect The Car? You can travel to collect although most people prefer to have it delivered to their door as it usually works out cheaper. Standard delivery method is a very careful driven delivery with a proper handover and explanation of all the car controls etc (using retired professionals, not boy racers!) or you can pay a bit extra for trailer delivery. (PS. You don't pay the balance until the car is delivered, so no need to worry about that side of things.) What About Servicing & Warranty? The 3 year warranty is valid at any UK or EU Citroen dealership and you can have it serviced at any Citroen or independent dealership using Citroen approved parts near you. Cash or Finance? You can pay cash or organise your own finance. We can also provide finance quotations through Citroen finance and there are often some very special deals on offer where sometimes taking out the finance and settling early can ultimately mean a lower total cost than a cash deal. (That's because the free finance contributions are genuine extra discounts that are not available via a cash deal). Part Exchange? We can take part exchange at trade value. You are usually best selling your car privately of course although there are sometimes some extra part exchange bonus offers. Or try the online buyers such as webuyanycar or wewantanycar etc for comparison quotes to get a good idea of trade value. A local dealer charging a higher price for the new car can of course then offer more for yours, so you need to just ignore that and look at the overall 'cost to change' to compare deals properly. What If A Fault Develops On The Car? You should be covered for three years with the warranty which is valid at any Citroen dealership throughout the UK. What If The Car Is Damaged On Delivery? Well it's an extremely rare occurrence because the last thing the dealer wants is a returned car, so you can rest assured it will be delivered with utmost care! But if anything did go wrong then of course the supplying dealer would rectify the problem either locally or brought back to them. How Long Is Delivery Time, Some Dealers Quote 14 Weeks?? If the car is in stock then it can just be 7-10 days but even if it has to be factory ordered it's generally just 6-7 weeks at most. Can I Get A Test Drive First? Not with these internet deals. The prices are kept low because there are no showroom overheads like test drive facilities etc. But Am I Safe Buying Through The Internet? Well you are from us anyway! We take no money ourselves so that you can deal directly with a main Citroen dealership for absolute safety. Payment is usually a £200 deposit to order (use a credit card to also get the powerful protection of the Credit Consumer Act) and the balance paid on delivery of the car to your door. You also have the protection of the Distance Selling Directive - a protection you actually DON'T have if buying face to face! Unlike other companies you are a person to us not a sales target - we're not daft, satisfied customers come back time and again and tell their friends too!
