Drew Wilson Coach Sales have generated these terms and conditions to highlight potential pitfalls and to outline terms for deposit payments.
Drew Wilson Coach Sales are not responsible for shipping costs for vehicles that are being exported or for arranging the shipping. We are not able to provide CIF quotations. We have a list of Shipping Agents that the customer can contact for shipping quotations, these are companies that previous customers have used in the past. Their inclusion in the list is not an endorsement from Drew Wilson Coach Sales.
Shipping costs can be expensive; Drew Wilson Coach Sales strongly recommend a customer researches these costs before beginning to pay for a vehicle. We advise customers to be sure that they can raise enough money to purchase a vehicle and to cover shipping costs. We would also recommend the customer decides which Port a vehicle will be shipped from so that any delivery costs can be calculated before any deposit is paid.
Vehicles are sold on an as-is basis with no warranty offered or implied.
VEHICLE PURCHASE & TIMESCALES
1. The deposit will be 20% of the purchase price of the vehicle, with a minimum of £1000. THIS DEPOSIT IS NON-RETURNABLE
2. From the date of receiving a deposit, Drew Wilson Coach Sales will take the vehicle off the market on the understanding that the purchaser will settle in full the cost of the vehicle within a 4-week period.
3. If a vehicle is not fully paid-for within a 4-week period from receiving the deposit, then Drew Wilson Coach Sales will retain the deposit and put the vehicle back on the market.
4. From the date of receiving a deposit, the vehicle is expected to be removed from the Drew Wilson Coach Sales site within an 8-week period.
5. If a vehicle is not removed from the Drew Wilson Coach Sales site within an 8-week period from receiving the initial deposit, then Drew Wilson Coach Sales will retain the deposit and put the vehicle back on the market. The balance will be returned to the customer,less any associated banking charges.
BANK CHARGES
The customer is required to pay bank charges accrued from both currency conversions and payments from foreign banks.
VAT
For export to non-EC countries, as long as the vehicle is invoiced to that non-EC country, we are permitted to use a zero-rate for VAT purposes. If we transport the vehicle to the docks ourselves, we would require a shipping note from the customer’s selected shipping company to gain access to the docks. We can use that shipping note as evidence that the vehicle is being exported. Then after the vehicle is delivered and the vessel has sailed, we would seek a bill of lading from the shipping company. According to current UK VAT legislation, this is deemed sufficient evidence of export.
However, if the export is indirect, ie you use a separate transportation company to deliver a vehicle to the docks, instead of Drew Wilson Coach Sales delivering the vehicle for you, obtaining proof that the vehicle has truly been exported is more difficult. Under these circumstances, we would require an additional deposit to the value of the VAT amount for that sale at the current UK rate. As long as the vehicle is exported within a 3 month period from the date of sale and you can produce evidence in the form of an original bill of lading from the shipping company, then the deposit equivalent to the VAT amount would be returned to you (less any associated banking charges accrued from such deposit).
