General Terms and Conditions

Vantage MotorGroup reserves the right to withdraw the DriveVantage programme at any time, but this will not affect any warranty existing on your car or other offers at time of purchase.

12 Month's Warranty

By purchasing your used car under DriveVantage, you will get a minimum of 12 Month's Warranty on your car. If your car still has over 12 months Manufacturer Warranty remaining then this will apply in place of a Vantage provided warranty.

If your car has less than 12 months Manufacturer Warranty remaining, then Vantage Motor Group where possible will 'top-up' the number of months required to meet the minimum 12 months by purchasing an additional warranty for you. The terms of this warranty may differ from the manufacturer warranty.

Your car must be serviced to the manufacturer's recommended standards and intervals in order to maintain your warranty.

30 Day Exchange Plan

Should you have reasonable cause to not be satisfied with your car, you can return it within 30 days (with no more than 500 miles covered since collection/delivery) and exchange it for another of at least equal value exclusive of any accessories. Vantage reserves the right to determine the reasonable cause, in some cases Vantage Motor Group may determine that there is no reasonable cause for exchange and therefore no exchange will be agreed. You will be asked to confirm that the vehicle is suitable and as described when the car is handed over to you.

This 30 day vehicle exchange agreement is in addition to your statutory rights as a customer and is subject to the condition as detailed on the reverse of the agreement certificate. You will be responsible for paying any difference in value if the replacement vehicle is a higher price than the original vehicle.

Only one exchange shall take place and the 30 day vehicle exchange agreement shall not apply to any replacement vehicle. In addition any costs which are incidental to the exchange of a vehicle will be payable by you, the customer, e.g. transfer costs of any outstanding credit agreement and the removal or transfer of accessories. If the Approved Used Car is subject to a hire purchase agreement, a modifying agreement will be completed.

12 Months MOT

If the car of your choice is over 3 years old, Vantage Motor Group will ensure that 12 months' MOT will be applied to to the car when you buy it. Please note that this may be up to 14 days lesser than 12 months to allow for a mutually agreed handover date for the car.
