CARZONE SPOTS LOCAL CAR TRENDS

Quality used car specialist Carzone, has launched a new push to source middle market family cars and low cost prestige models in response to demand from the local market.

Six months after opening its doors on the A23 in Salfords, the Carzone team has detected a clear local demand for a specific type of quality used car and has actively set out to scan the national market to bring suitable vehicles to the Surrey market.

Richard Clapshoe, Carzone Sales Manager, said: “It is quite clear that the local demand in this area is for good quality, good value family and middle market cars and for quality prestige models at affordable prices. Our team is now actively responding to this trend, searching specific models for customers and building up a strong stock of appropriate vehicles on our forecourt.”

Carzone, part of the Lifestyle Europe Group, draws on its connections with leading local Ford, Mazda, Renault and Subaru dealerships to source quality used cars but also goes beyond its group contacts to offer a customer search service sourcing vehicles on request to meet an individual consumer’s demands.

The company offers a 55-point vehicle check on all its used cars, a new MOT if the current MOT is due to expire in less than 9 months and up to three years AA warranty. It can also arrange competitive finance.

Richard added: “Carzone is now a firmly established player in the local used-car market. We have a prime position on the A23, minutes from both Redhill and Gatwick, and as the word spreads about the quality cars and service we offer, more and more customers are seeking us out. The new year is always a strong time for sales and we would urge anyone in the market for a new car who hasn’t visited us yet, to take time to come and meet the Carzone team. They won’t be disappointed.”
