How do I know I'm getting a fair price?

We base your valuation on real-time market data from similar cars across the UK, so you get a competitive, no-haggle offer right from the start.

Who can I contact if I need help or have questions?

Our sales team & customer care team are available to call on 0330 040 1031 or email sales@carsa.co.uk / customercare@carsa.co.uk. We are happy to help before or after your purchase.

What payment methods do you accept?

Deposits up to £200 can be paid by card; balances must be by bank transfer or finance. We cannot accept large cash payments.

Can I add extras like paint protection or a dash cam?

Yes. Options include GardX lifetime paint/interior protection, Nextbase dash cams, and a Tyre & Alloy Care Plan. After placing your order you can discuss these options with a representative.

Do you offer financing options for buying a car?

We’re FCA‑authorised and work with several lenders to offer HP or PCP finance. You can also use outside finance (a separate admin fee may apply).

Is the car taxed and insured when I buy it?

You'll need to arrange road tax and insurance from the day you take ownership. When you collect the car, our team will help you tax it on-site using the document reference number we have on record – it only takes a couple of minutes. We handle the DVLA registration transfer for you.

Do you offer dash cams or other accessories with the car?

Yes. We can supply and install Nextbase front‑and‑rear dash cams and other accessories like tailored mats—just let us know at checkout.

What is GardX paint and interior protection?

GardX is a nano‑coating applied by professionals that forms a durable ‘second skin’ over paint and fabric/leather, backed by a lifetime guarantee.
