I've Found a Car I Want. Now What?
So you've found a car listed on the site and you want to buy it. The first thing to establish - is it from a local UK supplier or an overseas supplier. How do you tell?
Buying From a Local UK Seller
All local suppliers have their contact details displayed including phone numbers and a map of their location as well as having the UK flag
showing on the listing.
You can contact the seller directly or use the Enquire Now button to send the seller an email. Once you have established contact with the seller,
you deal directly with them on all aspects of the purchase.
Buying Internationally Through Grabacar
If the car is displaying a flag from Japan or New Zealand
then, obviously, it's an international seller. The price you see
is the Drive-Away price in UK pounds that you will pay. The process is very easy, as you will see from some of the Testimonials
we have received as we handle everything.
If you have any questions or just want to have a chat about the next steps please Contact Us. It is likely that you will find answers to most of your questions that you may have in our Frequently Asked Questions section but we are happy to talk any aspect of the buying process through with you.
Once you are ready to go and proceed with the purchase, the process is as follows:
- Click the Buy Now button and confirm your Buy Now when prompted (you will receive a confirmation email once this has been done). If you have not already created a Grabacar account you will be asked to do so before confirming the Buy Now.
- Once we receive your Buy Now confirmation, you will be sent an invoice, with only the deposit shown due straight away to start the process. The balance is due prior to picking up your car in NZ once it is ready.
- Upon receiving confirmation that the deposit has been paid, we set about checking that the car is still available and that it meets the quality we expect of it based upon the information showing on the website.
- Once satisfied with the quality and availability of the vehicle, shipping to the UK, compliance, registration and preparation are all then handled by us so that we can have your car ready for pickup. During this time you will be kept up to date as to where in the delivery process your car is.
- Once the balance of the invoice has been paid your car will be ready for collection from My Car Import in Derby. We can also arrange to have it delivered to you anywhere in the UK if this is required.
