Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know about buying, financing, part-exchanging and selling with LMC. Can't find your answer? Just get in touch.

Do your vehicles come with an MOT?+

Yes — our used vehicles come with an MOT, so you can rest assured that any car you buy from us is safe and legal to drive. Every car has a minimum of 6 months' MOT remaining.

Do you offer part exchange?+

Yes. You can put the value of your current vehicle towards the cost of one of our high-quality used cars, making it easy to upgrade. See our part-exchange page.

What are your finance options?+

We offer two finance options: Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) and Hire Purchase (HP). PCP gives lower monthly payments with flexibility at the end; with HP you become the legal owner at the end of the agreement, with no final balloon payment.

Can I end my finance early?+

Both options can be ended early once you've paid 50% of the total finance. If you're below 50%, you'd need to pay the difference first; if you're above 50%, you can terminate at any time.

Can I test drive before I buy?+

In most cases, yes — just contact our team on 01708 863247 to arrange it.

Can you help me source a vehicle?+

Yes. We use an extensive network of dealerships to help locate a specific vehicle by make, model and specification. See Request a Vehicle.

What documents do I need to buy or finance a car?+

Typically: your driving licence, insurance policy, road tax document, proof of income/payment, address history and bank details.

What documents do I need to sell my car?+

Your V5C logbook, service history, MOT history, any repair receipts, remaining warranty, the owner's handbook and any reservation or purchase receipts.

Do you offer delivery?+

Yes — to arrange home delivery, just speak to one of our vehicle experts when you buy your car.

What are your opening hours?+

Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 09:00–18:00; Tuesday and Thursday 09:00–20:00; Sunday 10:00–16:00. Service & aftersales runs Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:00.
