FAQs
No. Carsa does not sell Category write-off vehicles. Every car we sell goes through an official Auto Trader Provenance Check, which confirms there's no outstanding finance, theft or write-off history, and verifies the mileage is accurate.
The V5C logbook is sent to you directly by the DVLA after we register the car in your name. You'll usually receive it within 4 weeks.
You don't need the V5C to drive or tax your car in the meantime. If it's been more than 4 weeks and you haven't received it, contact the DVLA directly.
If you can't make your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible so we can reschedule or cancel it for you.
If you don't turn up, your reservation fee won't be refunded. The fee is only refunded when you attend your appointment.
To change or cancel your appointment, please get in touch via our contact page.
When a car shows as 'in preparation', it means it's still going through our checks and reconditioning process. During this time, the car can't be reserved or booked for a test drive.
We would recommend leaving an enquiry on the car's page. This will ensure you are notified when the vehicle is ready.
Cars come with a manufacturer warranty when new, usually lasting a set number of years or miles. How much cover is left will depend on the car’s age, mileage and the manufacturer’s terms, so we can’t guarantee this for every vehicle. The best way to confirm the exact cover is to check directly with the manufacturer.
If you’d like extra cover, we have warranty products available at the time of purchase.
A lot of our vehicles do come with two keys, but we can only guarantee that each car has at least one. If the car has two keys, we’ll provide both.Because keys can occasionally be misplaced or damaged during transport or preparation, we can only confirm the exact number at the point of test drive. To secure your car for a test drive, simply find it on our website and book with a refundable deposit.
All electric cars use manufacturer-made batteries that are designed to last many years. Modern electric car batteries are carefully managed with cooling systems and safety margins, so they usually last for the lifetime of the car. We don’t provide battery health reports ourselves, so for the most up-to-date details on battery health or warranty cover, please check directly with the manufacturer.
You’ll need to bring your driving licence. If you’re part exchanging, please also bring your V5, service documents, and spare key. If you’re part exchanging and have a private plate, please refer to this FAQ about part exchanging with a private plate
