These Conditions of Purchase apply each time we buy a Car from you, whether the purchase is completed in person, over the telephone or by fax, post or email. Please read them carefully before offering to sell your Car to us.
Nothing in these Conditions of Purchase affects the statutory rights of consumers.
1. Acceptance of Your Offer
If you wish to sell your Car to us, you must visit our website at www.carsboughtforcash.com
You need to provide us with certain information about the type and condition of the car you wish to sell ("Car"). We will then provide you with a price we would (subject to the rest of these Conditions of Purchase) be willing to pay you for your Car ("Price"). If you are happy with the Price, you may make us an offer ("Offer") to sell your Car to us at the Price. We will ask you to reconfirm the details you provided in relation to the Car and will acknowledge receipt of your Offer. After considering your Offer we will let you know if we have accepted it. Our acceptance of your Offer creates a binding contract between us.
If we decline to accept your Offer we will normally, but are not bound to, give you a reason for our decision.
2. Prices Quoted by Us
All Prices Quoted are valid for 48 hours from day of offer.
Whenever we quote a Price, that Price is in Pounds Sterling and is inclusive of United Kingdom-rated VAT where applicable. You are responsible for the disclosure and payment of any duties or other taxes which apply.
We will ask to collect your car at an agreed address (in mainland England, Scotland or Wales) that you provide or you may deliver to us at The Forge, Emerson Close, Swainby, Northallerton, DL6 3EL. Any additional charges for collection will be notified to you at the same time we provide the Price: these are dependent on the collection address you have supplied.
Whilst we try to ensure that all Prices provided through our website, in our literature and given over the telephone are accurate, mistakes can sometimes occur. If we discover an error in the Price we will contact you as soon as possible and give you the option of either reconfirming your Offer at the correct Price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the contract as being cancelled.
3. Payment
We will pay the Price by sending the money to your nominated bank account by telegraphic transfer at time of collection. Our bank will confirm to you via email that funds have left our bank account. Alternatively we can present you with a cheque when we collect the car.
4. Your Warranties
You warrant that;
1. the information you provide to us about the Car is full and accurate in all respects.
2. you own the Car absolutely - i.e. the Car is owned by you alone and is not subject to any arrangement with a third party where that third party has an interest in the Car (such as a secured loan, hire purchase or leasing arrangement), unless the arrangement with the third party is capable of transferring ownership of the Car to you for settlement in cash in which case (after we have collected or you have delivered the Car) we will pay to such third party the amount required to release the Car from such arrangement and you agree that the Price payable to you is reduced by an amount equal to the amount to be paid to such third party.
3. you are aged 18 or over.
5. Conditions of the Contract
Our acceptance of your Offer is conditional upon the matters set out below.

We may ask to inspect the Car before accepting your Offer. In any event, we will inspect the Car when you deliver or we collect it. If any of the above conditions are not met, we may at our option recalculate the Price or cancel the contract between you and us. If we choose to recalculate the Price and you do not wish to sell the Car to us at the revised Price we will treat the contract as having been cancelled.
If we discover within 7 days of collection or delivery of the Car that you have not complied with any of the above conditions we shall treat the contract as having been repudiated by you. We shall return the Car to you and demand repayment of all sums we have paid to you.
