Bailey Classic Cars

Based in Worcestershire at the heart of England we have chosen to use eBay as our prinary sales channel and as such are building a business on three principles:

1) Good value vehicles

We don promise to have he very best of the bestevery time because not everyone wants or indeed can afford this type of vehicle. Our clients benefit from well described and onestcars that suit a range of budgets and expectations.

2) High turnover of cars at low margin

Because we don have a retail premises and use eBay as our primary sales channel, we can run a very efficient operation. We set realistic reserves so you can benefit from realistic prices.

3) Open and honest dealing

eBay actually works in favour of you, the buyer, more than the seller. Trapped in a traditional showroom, mesmerised by all that shiny metal, all manner of untruths are spoken and believed! With eBay you can take your time, study the photos and most importantly check the feedback of the seller.

Our business will succeed on this factor more than any other. This may be your first, large, eBay transaction. I would urge you to read the description fully, look at the photographs and then, most importantly look at our feedback.

We strive to describe cars as accurately as possible and there is no advantage in miss describing a car. If fact, we are so confident in our descriptions that if, when collecting the vehicle, you find it is miss-described then you are more than welcome to walk away and the sale needn proceed.

However, you are bidding to buy and we are not afraid to leave negative feedback, pursue costs where necassary and report any scam or fraud to eBay and the authorities. 

Using a classic car today

Our clients have varied requirements and our cars are often bought to be used as daily drivers and why not?

With modern cars all tending to look and drive the same nowadays why not buy something that fun to own and drive, simple to maintain, costs about 70% less to insure and is depreciation proof. The classic car scene is one of the countries fastest growing pass times and classic car ownership can be as interactive as you want it to be.

There are many clubs, meets and shows to get involved with or you can simply drive it out of the garage at the weekend polish away and collect those Sunday papers.

International bidders

We welcome international bidders and have sold several vehicles to people from mainland Europe and ROI. ALL Winning bidders must adhere to our terms. Delivery (where appropriate) and deposit funds are required in advance. Cash must be in sterling or Euros. A transaction in Euros will have the UK HSBC exchange rate, and cost of change fee applied.

Description & Warranty

Our descriptions provide a general idea of condition. It is not exhaustive as a car is a very complex mechanical item and it would be impossible to inspect every item. In addition to this, one person idea of condition is very different to the next, especially with classic cars. Please let common sense prevail. Any obvious faults that may be apparent with the vehicle we have mentioned within the description, if there are none reported then there are no obvious faults at the time of the listing.

Please remember this is a classic car. These cars had faults when they were new and after decades of use are worn. Expect there to be jobs that need doing. If an item is not listed, please do not make presumptions regarding condition/specification, get hold of us and ask.

You can obviously test drive the car before buying / leaving to confirm that it drives as we say it does. If it doesnhen you walk away.

eBay transactions do not carry a warranty. You can obtain classic car warranties via a number of providers.

New bidders (or scammers)

New bidders contact me to assure me that you are seriously interested Or YOUR BID WILL BE REMOVED Scammers Your bid will be removed, and I will never hand a vehicle over until I have cleared funds - don waste your time or mine.

Terms

We strive to describe cars as accurately as possible, our future success depends upon the accuracy of these descriptions and there is no advantage in miss describing a car. Our customers walk away and we loose a sale.

POSITIVE feedback is what we strive for, EVERY TIME.

We are so confident in our descriptions that if, when collecting the vehicle, you find it is miss-described then you are more than welcome to walk away and the sale needn proceed.

The winning bidder must pay a 50 deposit via Pay-Pal (this works with Visa/Master-card/Switch and is non refundable) or in person within 48 hours of the end of the sale, if you do not know how to do this, I can guide you through the process and send you some instructions. If you feel you need to see the car before you make your deposit then you will have to do this within 48 hours. If this condition is not met your bid will be automatically cancelled.

After the deposit has been paid (please remember that if I have not been accurate with my description then you are entitled to a full refund), the full balance must be paid and the car collected within 10 days of the end of the sale. Failure to pay for the car within this period will result in a loss of the deposit and the car being re-offered to the 3 next highest bidders or re-listed.

At the time of collection the balance must be paid in full, using cash or banker draft. I will need to verify the bankers draft by calling the issuer to check authenticity. Cheques are also acceptable but need to have cleared before you are able to collect.

The bid you submit is final, after all this is an auction, not an opportunity to begin negotiation upon collection which I will not entertain under any circumstances.
