The smart way to buy new

What is a pre-registered car?

It is a brand-new car that a dealer has registered before selling it. Nothing else about it has changed.

Franchised dealers register new cars in their own name to hit manufacturer targets at the end of a month or quarter. The moment a car is registered it becomes “used” on paper, even though it has only been driven from the factory to the forecourt. Dealers then sell these cars at a substantial discount to clear them.

The result is a car that is new in every way that matters, often available immediately rather than on a long factory order, and priced thousands of pounds below the same car bought unregistered.

Questions

Pre-registered cars, explained

What is a pre-registered car?

A brand-new car that a franchised dealer has registered in its own name, usually to meet a manufacturer sales target, and then sells on. It has never had a private owner and has only delivery miles on the clock.

Why is it cheaper than an unregistered new car?

Once a car is registered it is classed as used, even with delivery miles only. Dealers price these cars to sell quickly, which typically means a saving of thousands of pounds against the same car ordered new.

Does it come with the manufacturer’s warranty?

Yes. Every car comes with the manufacturer’s full warranty package. The warranty runs from the date the car was first registered, so we always tell you the exact start date before you buy.

Who will be shown on the logbook (V5C)?

The supplying dealer is usually recorded as the first registered keeper, and you are recorded as the next. We explain this before purchase so there are no surprises.

Can I choose the make, model, colour and specification?

Yes. Tell us exactly what you want. Because we search across the UK rather than one forecourt, we can usually find a close match, and we will tell you honestly if a specification is hard to find.

Where do you deliver?

We arrange delivery to your door. Delivery details and any cost are agreed with you before you commit, so the price you agree is the price you pay.
