Frequently Asked Questions for Thornham Car Sales

Whereabouts are you?

Please see our Location Page


When can I view the vehicle

We are open 7 days a week from 10.00am to 6.00pm on Monday to Saturday, Sunday 11.00am to 6.00pm. However our vehicles can be viewed outside these hours by appointment only. It is always wise to ring us before you set off just to make sure that the vehicle you are interested in has not been sold!


Can I part exchange my current vehicle and how much will you allow?

We can take any vehicle in part exchange up or down in value. Valuation depends on the condition and mileage of vehicle, whether it has service history, current MOT and any expensive extras, e.g. alloys, CDs, which may come with the vehicle. In general we have Black Cap market price.


Have the vehicles been checked

All vehicles are HPi checked, road tested and examined for damage that may have occurred and not gone through an insurance company. All vehicles are inspected before sale and are open to AA or RAC inspection prior to purchase.


When can I take the vehicle

The car can be taken immediately following payment by either a Banker`s draft, BACS, or cash. This may include a part exchange as part of the value, providing you have documentation with your vehicle i.e. Log Book and proof of ID. Or you can leave a deposit on the vehicle and collect upon payment of the balance.


Can the vehicle be delivered to me after purchase

We can deliver any vehicle locally, within 25 miles, free of charge and also collect your part exchange.


Do you provide finance

No, because we feel that you can obtain a much better rate of interest from a building society or high street bank. Normally you will get a decision from them immediately either in person or via their website.


What happens if I have problems with the vehicles after purchase

Competitively priced warranties are available on all cars priced over £1,000
