VOOR JE KIJKT

Deze verkoop valt onder de Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. Door te bieden en/of een bod uit te brengen, stem je ook in met het volgende:

✓ De verkoper van dit voertuig is geregistreerd als een bedrijvenverkoper. En je bent gedekt door Car & Classic’s Terms and Conditions.

✓ Wij verzoeken dat een niet-restitueerbare vergoeding wordt betaald als jij de gelukkige winnaar bent bij de veiling of als jouw bod wordt geaccepteerd. Raadpleeg onze handige FAQs en T&Cs voor specifieke tarieven.

✓ Deze auto is “Sold As Seen”, op basis van “As Is Where Is” en zonder garantie. Foto’s en beschrijvingen zijn enkel ter oriëntatie en het is gebruikelijk om een volledige inspectie van het voertuig uit te voeren voor aankoop voor uw eigen gemoedsrust.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We willen net zo'n soepele transactie als jij en daarom controleren we alle in het VK geregistreerde auto’s en motorfietsen die te koop staan op Car & Classic via een online HPI-check om aan te tonen dat ze geen schade- of diefstal-markers in de verzekeringsdatabase hebben en geen openstaande financiën, zodat je met vertrouwen kunt bieden.

✓ We also controleren ook of voertuigen als total loss zijn geregistreerd bij een verzekering, en we leveren handig labelen voor de afschrijvingscategorieën (Cat C/D/S/N) ter ondersteuning; de aanwezigheid of afwezigheid van een label garandeert de status van het voertuig niet en het is altijd verstandig om tevoren zelf een volledige voertuiggeschiedenischeck uit te voeren voordat u een bod uitbrengt.

✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection

of delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidders responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
