The reassurance of a name you can trust
It's hard enough finding the right used car, let alone a used car dealer you can trust. However, when you buy a FordDirect car, you can be absolutely sure there won't be any nasty surprises. Every vehicle is prepared to the highest standards before being given a tamper-proof hologram - the mark of a genuine FordDirect car. The process starts with an assessment from RAC engineers. Every part of the car is closely scrutinised - from the paintwork to the upholstery and even the tool kit. The car is then given a road test and thoroughly reconditioned. Any defects noted on the preliminary check are put right, the car's history is brought up to date and it has a full valet.

24-month RAC cover You can rest easy knowing your Ford Direct car comes with free AA vehicle membership for a full two years. The cover is comprehensive. It includes AA Roadside, AA Recovery, AA 'At Home' service and a free telephone linkline to your personal incident manager at the AA. You also get the use of a replacement vehicle (subject to status) if the Ford Direct dealer can't repair your vehicle within twenty-four hours and the vehicle can't be used.	Two-year unlimited mileage warranty Ford Direct's stress-relieving qualities start with a comprehensive two-year warranty. The warranty provides unlimited mileage protection against failure due to manufacturing or material defects in most original specification components. There are no limits to either the number or value of claims you can make. But remember - the warranty is invalidated if the vehicle is modified or used for rallying, racing, private hire, taxi services or short-term rental. Vehicles leased for six months or more are still eligible. 30-day exchange plan Everyone's entitled to change their mind. That's why you're welcome to exchange your Ford Direct car within 30 days of purchase or 1,000 miles - whichever is sooner. Not even new cars have this plan, which is subject to just a few sensible terms and conditions. The vehicle must be: Returned to the selling dealer The same vehicle as sold (including tyres, options, etc.) In the same condition as sold (i.e. no accident damage) Exchanged for another vehicle of a similar or higher price (you'll have to pay the extra if there is a difference) If you've bought the vehicle on finance, you'll need to settle your balance with the finance company and sign a new finance agreement.
