VALUATION TOOL AND CAR PURCHASE

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"):

It has over 6 months MOT;
It is not an import, i.e. it is a right-hand drive vehicle with UK registration plates;
It has not ever been subject to an insurance write off or used for private hire, rental, driving tuition or as a police vehicle;
It is in average condition for its age and mileage – damage added by you will be considered above and beyond fair wear and tear;
There are no major mechanical faults with the car;
It does not have a personalised registration plate, or, if the vehicle has a personalised registration plate it will remain with the Car and no value is assigned to it;
It has no damage, including interior and mechanical;
It has an engine which starts and it can idle on its own, i.e. it is not a "non-runner";
You have two sets of keys for the car.
The car is free from any financial encumbrance or lien and you are able to provide title to the vehicle

You have the option at the Online Valuation presentation page to amend any of the Assumptions and provide us with some further detail about your Car.

The minimum Online Valuation is £50.00.

An online valuation is not an offer by us or a contract to purchase the car. It is simply a tool to enable you to estimate the value of your car and the price which we may be willing to pay for it.

We always carry out a physical inspection of the Car before we agree to buy it. After you have received an Online Valuation, you may book an appointment for an inspection at one of our branches (an "Appointment").

If, on inspection of the 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, 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.

Price Guarantee

The Online Valuation is an offer for us to purchase the vehicle at the price quoted. The offer is Subject to our inspection of the Car (as explained further above), and is open for acceptance for seven days from the date on which we send it to you. If there is a significant price change within the 7 day guarantee period, we reserve the right to withdraw the offer prior to acceptance. We will use reasonable endeavours to contact you to let you know that the Online Valuation has changed.

Purchase Contract

A binding agreement to purchase the Car will only be made between us once you have signed our standard written purchase contract (the "Contract"). The terms and conditions that apply to the Contract can be viewed here.

Our guarantee:

We guarantee we are willing to buy every car we value. So that we don’t waste your time, if there is a change in the market value of your car resulting in a reduced valuation, then we endeavour to let you know what the new valuation is at least 24 hours before your appointment, so that you have the opportunity to cancel, if you choose to do so.

Payment Options

Our standard payment terms utilise Future Dated Faster Payment which takes up to four working days after the day on which you sell the Car to us to arrive into your bank account.

Next Working Day Payment

For an additional fee of £24.75, we can arrange for you to receive payment on the next working day after the day on which you sell the Car to us. It is possible that events beyond our control may delay payment, and if that happens we will not have any liability to you for the delay, save that we will refund the payment fee if it has been paid, or deducted from the Price, for the enhanced payment speed if the payment is not made within the timescales quoted on the invoice.

Premier Payment -

For an additional fee of £29.75, eligible customers selling their vehicle can choose to have the payment sent to their bank/building society between 30 minutes and two and a half hours. Payment will be made to our bank for processing between 30 minutes and two and a half hours of the sale being processed, and will be made by Faster Payment. Bank/Building societies can take anywhere between 0-2 hours to process fast payments. We will endeavor to ensure your payment is submitted to our bank within 15 minutes of payment being processed. It is possible that events beyond our control may delay payment, and if that happens we will not have any liability to you for the delay, save that we will refund the payment fee if it has been paid, or deducted from the Price, for the enhanced payment speed if the payment is not made within the timescales quoted on the invoice. To qualify for this payment option you must be the registered keeper and have all required documentation to complete the sale. You must not owe (or be in the process of settling) any finance on the vehicle, must not be selling an asset of a VAT-registered entity, must not be subject to a recent registered keeper change and must not be selling a higher value vehicle and the vehicle has not been sold to us in the previous 6 months or have not used the designated bank account with us in the previous 6 months. Sandicliffe reserves the right to exclude a customer from the premier payment option at its own discretion.
