“I consider the concept of the £75 'hold'/ inspection fee/ return if not satisfied, a winner
in not having to outlay £000s via an internet deal without the confidence of an RAC inspection and
personal view.”

Once you’ve paid your £75 handling fee for this car, we will produce a full HPI history check report on this vehicle like the sample behind, for your peace of mind. This report will tell you all you need to know on the history of your car.
Carsite NEVER list cars that have been stolen, written off or have any finance outstanding.
Always Check The History!
Please be cautious of buying a car outside of Carsite that hasn’t had a full HPI history check! Current UK HPI statistics* show:
- 24% of cars have outstanding finance
- 4% have had a significant insurance claim for theft or damage
- 5% have had mileage discrepancy
- 15% have had a plate transfer
- 1 in 300 is registered as stolen.
*Typical figures based on all trade dealer checks in 2005
Rest assured - All carsite cars are HPI cleared, and are not therefore subject to the above problems.

Cherry pick the best at up to 20% off normal dealer prices.
It's a well-kept secret that manufacturers heavily discount over 600,000 new vehicles a year to the fleet industry for use as company cars.
At the end of their lease life, dealers purchase them and add their profit margin before selling on to the public. Carsite has removed this middle man dealer, to give you an exclusive opportunity to reserve cars direct at lower wholesale prices.
Buying direct means no expensive dealer showrooms or pushy sales teams. You keep the profit, and have a better car buying experience. No wonder thousands have testified to Carsite being the Car Buyer's Consumer Champion.
