|
| Condition |
We found all their cars to be of a very high standard in terms of preparation and condition. The Bodywork had no dents and few marks while interiors have no tears, holes or heavy scuffs. Whereas other supermarket cars will have bodywork damage, show signs of heavy interior wear, that is not the case with Carcraft cars. |
 |
| Mileage |
Most of the mileages we checked were high compared to our "average" guide mileage.
See our price guide to find out this car's average mileage.
|
 |
| Mechanical inspection |
Most Carcraft cars we looked at had a full service history (although Carcraft pass on whatever history the car has). The cars are also given a mechanical inspection. |
|
| Service & service-free period |
There is nothing in the preparation and mechanical inspection procedure, that we could see, to stop a car being near a major service, or needing a major wear item replaced in the near future. |
|
| Warranties & guarantees |
FREE 3 months parts and labour guarantee on all cars. All cars HPI checked against theft, insurance write-offs or outstanding finance. |
|
| Ways to pay |
There are lots of flexible ways to pay, to suit your situation. Interest rates were similar at the time of checking to many other dealers but there are much better deals available from banks and online financial websites depending on your credit score. |

Prices
|
In a sample of 25 cars, we found that most cars come out around our TOP price*

What else do I need to know?
There are a huge variety of different cars including some quite rare and hard to find cars available in their stock.
So if the car you want is not common in your area, Carcraft may be one of the few places you will find a "clean" example.
*Price check
We have picked the cars above based on the specification you want, your budget and location.
But do check each car's price and mileage against our price guide!
Our prices are calculated based on checking the average the retail prices of 2.5 million cars a year. We cacluate four levels of price for you:
- The top price is what we expect good quality dealers to charge. You can haggle a small discount from this price.
- The best price is the lowest a savvy and reputable seller (who is not in a rush) would expect to sell for.**
- Anything between our low and fair prices is a good deal for both sides
**Best price is available online, but only to magazine readers.
