How the Franchise dealer route works

Buying route is via a "Value My Car" page on the dealer website. For franchise part-exchange, the standard route applies: agree a purchase, the dealer values the trade-in against it. Direct buying enquiries via the website contact or valuation page.

  • Confirm whether a site visit or appointment is required
  • Check the offer validity period and any conditions
  • Clarify payment method and timing before committing
  • Ask about any deductions or inspection adjustments

What DS Dalgleish look for

As Nissan, Subaru and KGM franchises, the dealer has natural interest in those makes for approved-used programmes. Broader used stock covers Citroen, Ford, Jaguar, Peugeot, Ssangyong, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota and Vauxhall. Condition and service history are weighted heavily.

We Buy Cars Hexham accepts

  • All makes and models
  • High mileage and older vehicles
  • Failed MOT and SORN
  • Non-runners and fault warning lights
  • Partial or no service history
  • Body damage and wear

When each option suits

A doorstep sale suits when

  • You want collection from home without travelling to a branch
  • The car has faults, failed MOT, is a non-runner or SORN
  • You need certainty of payment on the same day
  • You are in Hexham, the Tyne Valley or surrounding areas
  • You have already had a dealer valuation and want to compare
  • You want DVLA paperwork handled at point of collection

DS Dalgleish suits when

Suits sellers in the Galashiels / Borders area, particularly for franchise part-exchange. For Hexham-area sellers, Galashiels is 45 miles north; our Sale-or-Return or doorstep route avoids the border crossing.

Two-year warranty and what it means for buying

A two-year used-car warranty is above the 6 or 12 months offered by most independents. A dealer willing to offer that needs to be confident in the cars they take in. That confidence translates directly into the assessment criteria for buying: stock has to be solid enough to back for two years, which means condition and provenance are examined more carefully at the point of purchase than at a buyer with a shorter warranty obligation.

Common questions

Do you collect from my home address?
Yes. We collect from your address across Hexham, the Tyne Valley and surrounding areas. No branch visit or appointment away from home is needed.
Do you buy non-runners and failed MOT vehicles?
Yes. Failed MOTs, non-runners, SORN vehicles, warning lights and cosmetic damage are all assessed. We give you a clear price before committing.
How quickly do you pay?
Payment is by bank transfer confirmed at your address in most cases. Funds are verified before we leave.
Are there admin fees or deductions?
No admin deductions on straightforward purchases. If you use our Sale-or-Return route, all terms are agreed before we start.
What paperwork do I need?
V5C logbook and one photo ID. Service history helps with valuation but is not essential. We complete the DVLA steps at collection.
What is the difference between your valuation and a dealer part exchange?
A dealer part exchange values your car as a cost to offset against a new purchase. A direct cash offer values it as a standalone transaction. The two figures can differ significantly for the same car.
