Your Deposit

A minimal initial deposit will be payable on every vehicle of £250 upon invoice - Once the initial deposit has been paid by cash, debit/credit card or bank transfer you will be agreeing to the following: The deposit made on your vehicle is a commitment from you the customer, to us the company, and that we will begin preparation of your vehicle immediatly and get it ready for delivery. This deposit is non refundable once we have started preparing your vehicle for sale. There may be instances where we have the right to refund your deposit and cancel the order of your vehicle, if once the vehicle is being prepared, repair costs make it uneconomical to prepare for sale/delivery, we will refund your deposit in full within 24 hours. If you as the customer has paid a deposit which is higher in value than £250 you will be entitled to a full deposit refund minus the value of the original minimal £250.
