Trade-Ins feature in Motors DECEMBER 2009

Trade-Ins quality used cars at affordable prices

IF you’re looking to buy a quality used car with total peace of mind, take a look at Trade-Ins Hull’s newest car retailer.

 The business, which opened three weeks ago in Witham, east Hull, is an expansion of Motor Depot, one of East Yorkshires leading car supermarkets. Trade-Ins will take vehicles that have been part-exchanged for newer cars at Motor Depots showrooms in Hull, Hessle and Scunthorpe and sell them on. Most of the cars are priced in the £1,000 to £4,000 bracket and they would previously have been taken to auction or sold to local traders, but now they will be offered directly to people in the area instead.  Theres an increasing demand for smaller cars now and Trade-Ins makes some quality used ones more readily available says Chris Brown, who has set-up the new operation with colleague Matt Gallagher.

With the economy the way it is and most people using their cars just to commute, smaller and more economical cars are proving very popular, so it seemed stupid for us to auction them off to people from outside of the area. But by setting up Trade-Ins, everybody wins We do, Motor Depot does and our customers get  quality used cars at an affordable price from a reputable business they can trust. We've only been open a few weeks but the response has been excellent so far and weve had a lot of business through word-of-mouth, which proves we are a company that satisfies its customers.

Trade-Ins are based in the former Car Bank premises on Witham; just a stones throw from Motor Depots Hull supermarket and this has ensured a seamless transition for the new brand. And as former Motor Depot sales staff, they are still employed by the company and enjoy a close working relationship with Motor Depot. Both Matt and Chris are experts in finding the best car for you. With more than 10 years of experience in the industry between them, the pair can listen to what you want and discuss your needs before finding the perfect car for you whether you are new to driving and looking for your first car or a parent looking for a reliable run-around. Chris and Matt can also organise service and finance packages should you wish, ensuring buying your next car is as smooth and hassle-free as possible. Trade-Ins current stock includes cars from all of the leading manufacturers, including Vauxhall, Renault, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes and Jaguar and there is a range of models from about 10-years-old to just one-year-old. All vehicles are advertised on the company website, allowing you to effortlessly look for what you want. And before they are sold, each car is inspected by one of Motor Depots expert mechanics, ensuring only the very best part-exchange vehicles are sold on by Trade-Ins.

Every car also comes with at least nine months MOT and a free three-month independent warranty, which remains valid even if you took it to another garage. But of course, with the specialist care and attention to detail offered by Trade-Ins and Motor Depot, there is no reason not to retain their services. Were up-front and honest with people right from the start, says Chris. This is a fiercely competitive market and we are committed to offering the best service possible. We will tell the truth about any of our cars and we wont try to hide anything. We only sell cars we are sure are up to the task and are in good shape mechanically. If we dont think a car is good enough or safe enough to drive, we wont sell it. Matt and I have the pick of cars from all three of the Motor Depot supermarkets, so we can select the very best used cars in the area. We are so confident in the quality of the cars we sell that we offer a three-month warranty on every single one of them.
