A lot of worry removed from buying a used car - 7 day no questions asked return

Hey
Watching the tv last night an advert caught my eye - usually I channel hop but the ad stated 'car delivered to your home, if you no like it, we will take it back up to 7 days, no questions asked.' or words to that effect.
The ad reminded me of this forum and as an aspiring philanthropist I though of all the problems posters were facing with used cars. For sure, yes, problems can be hidden for a bit longer or lot longer but surely this is a good option.

i have not looked at prices or ranges of cars as we don't do used cars for many years but thought this may help others.
If anyone we know is chatting about changing, buy a new car, I will tell them about this outfit

I won't mention their name in case it's seen as spam.
HTH

ps - Enjoy your ????? car for up to 7 days to make sure it fits in with your lifestyle. If you change your mind, just let us know and you can return it for a full refund, no questions asked. (from the website)

Provided the car hasn't been driven more than 250 miles. After that it is £1 a mile. Collection of the vehicle has to be requested within 7 days and car must be collected within 14 days. No damage.

Surely this is a discussion?

They are just an agent with ads effectively, and carrying out deliveries sometimes on their behalf. Also in the Ts and Cs for the return of the car is that car must not be driven at all after the 7th day, and you must be in possession of the V5. That will be a neat trick. Getting a v5 from DVLA for a change of ownership by the time the car is picked up...

cheers friend for looking that up. if we were in for a used car, i feel we would have tried them if we were happy with everything - 250 miles is a lot more than you get on any test drive and most people may drive 50-60 miles in a week if that gives one time to get the feel of the car as most people note faults when car is taken home driven a little the same day day after and what they like and not

The choice is yours I am only trying to do a heads up

OP. You have made much of the fact you only buy new cars and change frequently, so is this thread just spam? If not, what is your purpose in asking? This forum will be more beneficial if efforts can go to support people with real concerns to resolve.

Re the V5 - I will take your word for it - are you saying this is then a kind of a trick to may you keep or pay hefty charges??

I don't think anyone has missed the ads at all, especially during lockdown with the guy falling into his seat and his dog digging at the seat. Thanks for your 'philanthropy', such that it is.
