Vehicle availability
Vehicles shown on the site are part of the current advertised stock, but availability can change during the day. If you are travelling specifically for one vehicle, contact us first and quote the CFY stock reference.
A vehicle can also be temporarily unavailable for cleaning, inspection, preparation, test driving or collection. An online advert alone should not be treated as confirmation that the car is physically ready for an immediate viewing.
Vehicle descriptions
We aim to provide useful descriptions including mileage, engine, gearbox, colour, body style and key equipment. Used vehicles can vary within the same model range, and optional equipment may differ between cars.
If a specific feature is essential to your purchase decision, ask us to confirm it on the exact vehicle before travelling or paying a deposit.
Mileage and condition
Mileage shown on the advert is the recorded figure used when the listing is prepared and may increase slightly through transport, testing or demonstration use.
Used vehicles should be expected to show age-appropriate wear. This can include stone chips, wheel marks, light scratches, interior wear and other cosmetic signs of previous use.
Viewings
Most cars can be viewed during normal opening hours. Booking is recommended for older, specialist or higher-value stock so the vehicle can be made accessible in advance.
Take enough time to inspect the car properly. Check the body, interior, tyres, wheels, warning lights, controls, documents and anything particularly important to you.
Test drives
Test drives are available subject to a valid driving licence, staff availability and the vehicle being suitable for road use. Some high-performance or specialist vehicles may require advance arrangement.
Independent inspections
Independent inspections are welcome when arranged in advance. Buyers may use a professional inspection company or engineer if they want an additional assessment before completing the purchase.
Give the inspector the CFY stock reference so the correct vehicle is identified.
Deposits and reservations
If a deposit or reservation is offered on a particular vehicle, the terms should be confirmed before payment. Ask how long the vehicle will be held, whether the payment is refundable and what circumstances could affect the reservation.
Do not assume that an enquiry alone reserves a car.
Payment
Payment arrangements are confirmed with the sales desk. The vehicle should not be collected until cleared funds and the necessary paperwork have been confirmed.
For security, buyers should verify payment instructions directly with Cars For You before transferring a substantial amount of money, particularly if bank details have been received electronically.
Part exchange
Part exchange can be discussed against any current vehicle. An initial estimate can be based on registration, mileage, history and condition. A final valuation requires physical inspection of the vehicle.
Bring available service history, registration information, spare keys and any relevant documentation when presenting a part-exchange vehicle.
Collection
Collection takes place after payment, documents and agreed preparation are complete. Do not make irreversible travel arrangements until the handover time has been confirmed.
If someone else is collecting the vehicle on your behalf, discuss identification and authorisation requirements with the sales desk beforehand.
Delivery
Delivery may be available depending on distance, vehicle type and transport arrangements. Delivery charges are separate unless explicitly agreed as part of the sale.
Older and specialist vehicles
Older enthusiast vehicles require a different buying mindset from a nearly-new commuter car. Service history, evidence of preventative maintenance, corrosion, previous repairs and long-term ownership history can matter more than cosmetic presentation alone.
Buyers considering a modern classic, large V8 or specialist performance car should budget realistically for ongoing servicing and consumables.
