Our sales representative will confirm the vehicle features and price with you, confirm your details and issue you with an invoice which will state the expected delivery date. We will also at this stage take payment of the deposit stated in the quotation. Only at this point will a contract be formed and we will send a letter and invoice confirming the details to your home address. DEPOSITS

As you will appreciate, however due to road and environmental conditions the vehicle may not be perfectly clean and may have suffered such reasonable wear and tear as would be expected during a road journey from its storage location to your address. You accept we shall not be liable for such matters unless caused as a direct result of our negligence. PRICE
