Attention to detail.
Our Selection Process
When vehicles re-enter the Mercedes-Benz network they are organised into a list for us to review. It details the car’s age, mileage, service history, specification, as well as a condition grading of 1 through 5. We select only cars that rate 1 or 2 to ensure that we offer our customers only the best stock.
Price Comparison
Once we’ve selected the cars we want to bring into our Mercedes Benz dealerships, we price check the market using numerous platforms. As such, we price up our cars taking into account model, specification, mileage, and importantly the available supply of matching models nationwide.
We do a lot of work to understand what features and specifications our local buyers like the most across all of the different Mercedes-Benz Approved Used models. Knowing, for example, that SLK Roadsters sell much more quickly with heated seats, airscarf and parking guidance, we can buy these up in bulk and pass on the savings to you, the customer.
Pre-Sale Preparation
All the Mercedes-Benz South West sites guarantee their quality standards are uncompromising. Even though only the best graded 1 or 2 vehicles are selected we still go one step further to make sure that any car you buy from Mercedes-Benz South West is going to surpass your expectations of what a used car should be like.
We review the condition of the bodywork and interior, carrying out work when appropriate to bring it to the level we would want our own cars to be. We would expect to refurbish wheels and attend to minor chips, even replacing tyres with less than 4mm of tread despite the legal limit being 1.6mm. To give you that extra piece of mind we would also carry out at our retailer workshop an additional service on top of the mandatory Used Car check if the vehicle was due one within 90 days.
All of these elements, costs, and considerations are taken into account before we release a car for sale.
