FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I do if I’ve lost or damaged something that came with my vehicle?
We’ll need to reduce the amount we refund you against the cost of us of replacing it. How much we reduce your refund by depends on what has gone missing or damaged. All of this we will explain and go through with you during the vehicles appraisal.
What if I haven’t received my V5C log book from the DVLA?
We unfortunately cannot sell a vehicle without a log book, your refund will only be available when this has been received, along with your vehicle. Please ensure this is posted recorded mail or bring it with you the same day you return your vehicle to D. M. Keith.
I've part exchanged a vehicle to pay for the one I’m returning; how does this affect my refund?
We’ll refund your part exchange as part of the purchase price. If works have been undertaken to prepare the part exchange for re-sale or we’ve settled any outstanding finance on the part exchange; in those circumstances, we’ll reimburse the amount allowed for the part exchange as set out on the vehicle invoice net of the amount of any finance settlement covered by D.
