  • Why Choose a Cheap Used Car?

    Save Money Upfront: Used cars cost significantly less than new ones. You avoid the steep depreciation that hits as soon as a new car leaves the lot. Lower Insurance Costs: Insurance premiums for used vehicles are typically more affordable, helping you save month after month. Proven Reliability: Today’s cars are built to last. Many used models can run well past 100,000 miles with proper maintenance—making them a smart investment.

  • Are all listed cars inspected and verified?

    Not all cars listed are inspected, but the ones with the AA Cars banner will have been checked out independently by our own engineers and will be given a stamp of quality as a result. We always ensure that all cars that go on sale via AA Cars are verified, too.

  • Do these cheap cars come with any warranty?

    There’s always the possibility of a warranty - even on cheaper cars It’ll be worth speaking to the retailer about what kind of driveaway warranty options they offer with their cars beforehand, too. In addition, here at AA Cars we offer our own warranty service, available on cars of up to ten years old and with less than 100,000 miles on the clock.

  • Can I arrange a test drive before purchasing?

    Yes, it’s always possible to organise a test drive before you purchase a car - you’ll just need to speak to the retailer before your visit to ensure that they offer this service. Always remember to bring your driving licence with you for insurance purposes on the day, too.

  • Is financing available for these vehicles?

    At AA Cars, we offer finance on all cars priced from £2,000 and up. It means that it’s easy to spread out the cost of a used vehicle into more manageable chunks. We’ve got a dedicated finance page which can give you an illustration of the kind of payments you could be looking at, too.

  • What should I look for when inspecting a used car?

    There are many things to check out when looking at a used car. We’d always advise checking a car’s service history and maintenance work, as well as how long it has remaining on its MOT certificate. On a more mechanical level, we’d advise checking out the car’s tyres and brakes to ensure that the former has enough tread, and that the latter operates in a smooth fashion. If you’d like a more detailed view, then an AA Vehicle Inspection could help. We’ll send out a trained engineer to take a look at the car and they’ll be able to provide a detailed report highlighting their findings.

  • How can I verify the service history of a used car?

    There are some measures you can take to verify a car’s service history. Ask for receipts relating to any work that has taken place and, if you need to, you could call garages that have been listed to see if they remember working on the vehicle. It could be a good idea to pay for a vehicle check, too, which can highlight if a car has previously been written off, stolen or if it has any outstanding finance.
