\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\tWhat happens if something goes wrong with the vehicle I have bought?\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\t\t\t

\r\n\t\t\tThe Car Guys do not require a holding deposit on any vehicle we have for sale. If you are purchasing using our in house finance then we can withdraw your chosen vehicle from sale - no problem.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t
