10. Online Deposits
If you decide to reserve a vehicle by
paying a reservation fee, you will be asked to enter your personal and payment
card details (see the ‘Paying a Reservation Fee’ section below). If you would
prefer not to use the online process but would still like to purchase one of
the vehicles shown, please contact us for further assistance.
If you choose to reserve a car online
by paying a reservation fee (£100), you will be asked to enter your personal
details, address and payment card information. When you click on “submit
payment”, the amount of the reservation fee will be debited from your payment
card immediately.
After paying a reservation fee, you will receive an email from us that
acknowledges receipt. Please note that this does not mean that your reservation
has been accepted. All reservations are subject to acceptance by us, as we need
to check that the car has not already been sold or reserved by someone else. We
will confirm our acceptance of your reservation by sending you a confirmation
email (the "Reservation Confirmation").
Your vehicle will be reserved for 48 hours and we will be in contact with you
to discuss the next steps required to complete your purchase.
If you decide not to purchase the vehicle, you can request a refund of the
reservation fee at any time before taking delivery, by contacting us via email
to
accounts@sturgesscars.co.uk.
Your payment will be refunded in full, usually within 5-10 days, by the same
method you made your online payment.
11.Online Valuations
An Online Valuation is not an offer by Sturgess Motor Group to purchase or part exchange your vehicle. It is simply a tool to enable you to estimate the value of your vehicle and the price we may be willing to pay. Please note the online valuation you receive is an estimate only and is subject to full appraisal during your appointment. Sturgess Motor Group is not obliged to purchase any vehicle until you’ve received a formal acceptance of the purchase at your appointment following a full vehicle check. Any valuation generated by the Valuation Tool (an "Online Valuation") is based on the information you tell us about your car (the "Car") and on the following general assumptions we make about your Car (the "Assumptions"):
We will always carry out a physical inspection of the Car before we agree to buy it or take it in part exchange. After you have received an Online Valuation, you may book an appointment with us for an inspection at one of our branches (Leicester or Anstey).
If, on inspection of your Car at the Appointment, we consider that the value of the Car is affected by any aspect of its history or condition, including any unusual feature or customisation or anything which affects or limits the Assumptions we made about the Car, which was not apparent to us when we gave the Online Valuation, or the car is not a good fit for our stocking policy at that time, the price that we may be willing to pay for it following an inspection (the "Price") is likely to differ from the Online Valuation.
We are not obliged to purchase any Car brought to an Appointment (in particular we reserve the right to turn you away from an Appointment if you are selling the Car for commercial purposes, e.g. in the course of a motor trade business) and neither are you obliged to sell any car brought to an Appointment.
12. 14 Day Money Back Guarantee Terms & Conditions
Applies to all used, ex-demonstrator and pre-registered cars. Customers can return the car to the dealership within 14 days from delivery/collection, if usage is under 500 miles, and receive a full refund (and cancellation of any finance arranged through us) provided that it is returned in the same condition with all keys, manuals etc.
The customer will be responsible for arranging return to the dealership and for any costs of doing so.
If the V5 has not yet been received by the customer and cannot be returned with the car, a sum of £250 shall be retained from the refund until such time as the original V5 is provided, or the dealership is able to submit the registered keeper change online.
Any part-exchange vehicles will be paid at the agreed valuation unless a return of the part-exchange vehicle is agreed. Any return of the part-exchange vehicle would be without any liability for the condition of the part-exchange. Excludes commercial vehicles
