We have a large range of vehicles to suit all budgets and needs, many of our vehicles come with the remainder of the original manufacturer’s warranties for complete peace of mind. For vehicles that are no longer covered by the manufacturer's warranty, we have our own Crystal Clear 3-month warranty which covers many of the vehicle's most expensive parts and helps give our customers that piece of mind if the worst was to ever happen.

Reserve Your Vehicle

You can reserve any of our vehicles for only £99 which is either taken via our website (via a secure payment gateway) or by one of the sales team either by phone or by card in person. This reservation fee is fully refundable (no quibble) if you choose to change your mind and decide not to continue with the purchase and allows you to hold the vehicle for 5 days or longer if needed.

Part Exchange

If you have a vehicle that you are looking to use as a part exchange against your new vehicle we can give you a competitive valuation, this value can then be factored in to reduce the total cost of the vehicle you are looking to purchase.

Financing your new vehicle

There are many ways to finance a new vehicle which include:

Buying outright – Paying for the vehicle in cash so there are no monthly payments and you will own the vehicle outright from the beginning.

Finance – There are many types of finance available through our trusted lenders all of which have different terms and conditions and result in a monthly payment that helps spread the cost (please see finance options explained below).

All of these options can be either carried out in the showroom by our trained sales executives or in the comfort of your own home using our interactive finance calculator where our customers can set the length of the contract, deposit, and monthly payment.

Finance Jargon Buster

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) is an increasingly popular choice for car finance. It offers the best in flexibility at the end of the agreement, together with low, fixed monthly payments.

PCP is perfect if you are opting out of your company car scheme. Your company car allowance can fund your monthly payments, but there is no company car tax to pay.

At the beginning of the agreement, your car's guaranteed future value is calculated, based on an agreed mileage and age. This is deferred as a final 'balloon' payment.

With PCP you don't have to commit to buying the car at the outset. You use it for an agreed period of time (24-48 months) and then decide at the end of this period what you would like to do. Choosing to pay for your vehicle this way often means you can drive a higher-specification vehicle for a lower monthly payment.

  • You have four options:
  • Buy the car by paying an agreed minimum residual value
  • Part-exchange the vehicle for another
  • Sell the vehicle privately (settling the balloon)
  • Or, subject to mileage and condition, return the car with nothing more to pay (e.g. if depreciation resulted in negative equity)

The benefits of Personal Contract Purchase

  • Low risk - A minimum future value is guaranteed
  • Low deposit - keeps valuable personal or business cash available
  • Low fixed monthly payments - perfect for budgeting
  • Choice - Buy the car, part-exchange it or just return it
  • A better car - lower payments can help you choose a higher-specification car
  • Tax advantage - the cash alternative when you opt out of a company car scheme is not subject to company car tax
  • VAT free - no VAT on your payments

If you choose to buy a vehicle under Hire Purchase (HP) you enter a contract where you would pay for the vehicle in parts. This is calculated by the value of the vehicle along with the interest added and divided into pre-determined amounts. It is different from a traditional loan, this is because you do not own the vehicle until the loan has been paid off. The debt is secured against the vehicle, this means you are not allowed to sell it until the debt has been cleared.

This means you are borrowing money for the vehicle and the loan is secured against it. When you have paid all the finance owed, the car is yours.

Is it suitable for you? HP car finance would be a suitable option for you when you know you’ll be keeping the vehicle for a while.

The benefits of Hire Purchase

  • ​Low deposit - keeps valuable personal or business cash available
  • Control - you decide the deposit, you decide the term
  • Fixed monthly payment - makes budgeting simple
  • Flexibility - doesn't compromise your other lines of credit
  • Assets - you gain ownership of the car
  • Tax benefits - Tax allowances for business users
  • VAT free - no VAT on payments

Conditional sale is similar to hire purchase. The agreement usually includes the condition that the goods don't belong to you until you've paid the final installment and the lender may be able to repossess (take back) the goods if you fall behind with payments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Greenhous Group has been delivering vehicles nationwide for well over 100 years and by using our own fully trained drivers we can be sure that the handover you get at your designated delivery address will be just like visiting us in person. On the days leading up to your delivery, our driver will personally call to firstly introduce themselves but also make sure the delivery is ok to continue and you (our customer) are happy.

Our driver will once again contact you when they are within an hour of your chosen delivery address this is again to make sure you are happy to continue (as we know life doesn’t always go as planned). Once the driver reaches your designated delivery address he will first show you around your vehicle and then allow you some time to look over the vehicle at your own speed to enable you to make sure you are 100% happy with your new purchase. During this time if there is a part exchange to return our driver will access your vehicle and get it ready to return (through collection of documents and essential checks).

After these checks are completed the customer then signs to say they are happy to continue, the driver will give you a full handover if needed pointing out controls and vehicle features, and then leave you to enjoy your new vehicle.

Delivery can vary from vehicle to vehicle (size dependent) but our estimated costs start from £1 per mile from our door to your designated delivery address these costs can vary and your sales executive will be able to give you a full breakdown of costs before purchase.

Please don’t worry we completely understand that sometimes the situation can be a little overwhelming and the sales executive or aftersales department (just call or email us using the links at the top of this page) will happily help with any issues that may arise in the days after delivery.

Unfortunately, we don’t offer out-of-area servicing at the moment but we do have a very strong network of garages up and down the country that are tied to our warranty which means our customers are never too far away from one of our recommended sites.

If after purchase you are not completely happy with your new vehicle for any reason then please get back in touch with your designated sales executive who will always try and rectify these issues in an as quick and non-disruptive manner as possible.

If an issue can not be resolved and you would like to return the vehicle our terms and conditions in this situation can be found here.
