* 30 Day Exchange Programme​ Terms & Conditions.
Subject to the following terms, any SPOTiCAR Approved Used Vehicle purchased from a Citroën, Peugeot, Vauxhall or DS Automobiles franchise Dealership of Approved Used status, that develops a fault within 30-days of the delivery date, and the fault cannot be rectified may be exchanged for another Approved Used Vehicle (the Replacement Vehicle), at the same Dealership, provided that;
- the fault is mechanical or a defect in materials or workmanship on the vehicle and such a fault is apparent to the Dealership (acting reasonably);
- the Approved Used Vehicle is returned to the supplying Dealership within 30-days of the delivery date;
- that the dealership is satisfied that the Customer is a private purchaser (and not a trade purchaser or otherwise);
- the Approved Used Vehicle has covered no more than 1,000 miles since delivery to the Customer;
- the Dealership is satisfied that the Approved Used Vehicle is in the same condition as it was at the time of delivery to the Customer, save for the presence of the fault and fair wear and tear, and for the avoidance of doubt the vehicle shall not have been involved in any accident or damaged in any way.
- the Dealership is satisfied that the Customer owns the Approved Used Vehicle and is fully entitled to exchange it under this agreement
Â
The Customer may choose for exchange any SPOTiCAR Approved Used vehicle available for sale at the Approved Used Dealership, provided that:
- It is of an equal or higher price to the original Approved Used Vehicle, and
- It is readily available from the same Approved Used Dealerships stock
Before any exchange is effected under this agreement, the Customer shall be responsible for making all the necessary arrangements relating to terminating, taking out or otherwise dealing with the financial arrangements for the purchase of the original Approved Used Vehicle. Any exchange shall be subject to the Dealership being satisfied with such arrangements. In particular, if the original Approved Used Vehicle is subject to a Finance Agreement, a new Finance Agreement of the same type must be completed, and the relevant deposits paid by the customer.
Where the Customer wishes to exchange an Approved Used Vehicle for a Replacement Vehicle with a higher price, the exchange will not take place until the Customer has paid the Dealership the price difference.
The Customer will be solely responsible for any additional costs incurred in the exchange for licensing or insurance. Any such costs must be paid for in full prior to completion of the exchange.
This agreement only applies to the Approved Used Vehicle detailed above. Only one exchange within the 30-day period will be permitted, and this Agreement shall not apply to any Replacement Vehicle.
This Agreement does not affect any of the Customer’s statutory rights.
FAQs
- What is Spoticar at EMC?
SPOTiCAR is Stellantis Group’s approved used car programme, available at EMC as an authorised Spoticar retailer for Vauxhall, Fiat and Abarth.
Every SPOTiCAR vehicle has been carefully inspected, prepared to a high standard, and comes with a range of reassuring guarantees. This gives you the confidence of a quality used car with the backing of a trusted programme.
- What checks does a Spoticar vehicle undergo before sale?
Every SPOTiCAR vehicle goes through a thorough multi-point inspection carried out by trained technicians. This covers mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic aspects of the vehicle, ensuring it meets the SPOTiCAR quality standard. A full vehicle history check is also completed, giving you clarity on the car's past before you make a decision.
- Does a Spoticar car come with a warranty?
Yes. SPOTiCAR vehicles come with a minimum 6 months warranty as standard, providing protection against unexpected mechanical issues after purchase. The specific terms of the warranty may vary by vehicle, so our team will walk you through exactly what's covered when you enquire about a particular car.
- Can I finance a Spoticar vehicle through EMC?
Yes you can. EMC offers a range of finance options on SPOTiCAR vehicles, including PCP and HP. Our finance specialists will help you find a solution that suits your budget and circumstances, whether you're looking to spread the cost over a shorter or longer term.
- Is buying a Spoticar vehicle safer than buying a private used car?
In many important ways, yes. When you buy a SPOTiCAR vehicle through EMC, you benefit from a full inspection, a warranty, finance options, and the backing of both the SPOTiCAR programme and EMC's own reputation. Private sales come with no protections or guarantees, so for peace of mind, a SPOTiCAR approved used car is a very good option.
- Can I part-exchange my current car when buying a Spoticar vehicle at EMC?
Absolutely. We accept part-exchanges on SPOTiCAR purchases. We'll provide a fair and transparent valuation for your existing vehicle, and any equity can be used to reduce the cost of your SPOTiCAR car or form part of your deposit on a finance agreement. Bring your car in for a valuation with no obligation to proceed.
