They submit an enquiry or call our office, we check availability with the manufacturer then send a written quote by e mail with a delivery date. If they want to proceed they will call our office and pay a £500 deposit. The vehicle is delivered by the supplying dealer to the customers address free of charge. The driver does the hand over with the customer then leaves the vehicle with them. At this point the customer has only paid a deposit so they normally pay the balance by bank transfer on the day of delivery. If finance is used the balance is paid by the finance company direct into our account.
