8. BUYING your car

8.1 If you have asked DV8 Works to buy your car we will make you an offer which, initially is likely to be a remote valuation. A remote valuation is not an offer by DV8 Works to purchase your car. We will always carry out a visual inspection before we agree to buy it. Any valuation we provide to you is based on the description you provide on your car and the following assumptions:

at least six months MOT
a valid V5
book Packs
completed service books or visible history on-line
two sets of keys
it is not an import, i.e. it is a right-hand drive vehicle with UK registration plates;
it has not ever been subject to an insurance write off or used for private hire, rental, driving tuition or as a police vehicle;
there are no major mechanical faults with the vehicle;
it does not have a personalised registration plate, or, if the vehicle has a personalised registration plate it will remain with the vehicle and no value is assigned to it;
it has no damage, including interior and mechanical;
it has an engine which starts and it can idle on its own, i.e. it is not a “non-runner”;
there have been no modifications to the vehicle.

8.2 If, upon inspection, the description of the car or our assumptions are not upheld then the valuation price we offered may differ. We are not obliged to purchase any vehicle where the description or valuation is affected by any changes not apparent at the time of valuation. Neither, are you obliged to sell us your vehicle.

8.3 Subject to 8.1 and 8.2, any valuation we provide you will be held for 7 days from the point of valuation. After that point, a new valuation will need to be sought.

8.4 A binding agreement for us to purchase your car is only made upon signing the Purchase Agreement.

8.5 The valuation of your vehicle shall at no times bear any relevance or connection to a sale of a DV8 Works vehicle. Each transaction remains isolated in their right.
