Used Estate Cars FAQs

What's an Estate Cars Like to Drive?

Distinguished by an extended rear end and spacious boot, estate cars are usually hatchbacks or saloons. The practical boot capacity and spacious cabin area means they are great cars for families and offer a powerful, yet safe, driving experience.

Over the years, car designers have reimagined the estate body style and have created more sleek exteriors, which not only improves performance, but also boosts your street credibility, making you one of the most stylish drivers on the road.

Available in a variety of powertrains, you can choose the way you want to drive, whether that be with a petrol, diesel, hybrid, or electric engine - the power is in your hands. No matter which one you choose, you are sure to experience a powerful journey every time.

When it comes to mechanical and cosmetic checks, there is nothing for you to worry about because we have all that covered for you. Our technicians ensure every used vehicle is in tiptop condition, and we also carry out full HPI checks for extra peace of mind.

It's always good to take the vehicle out for a test drive, just to help you get a feel for the car and how it drives. This not only lets you experience what the vehicle is like, but it will also help you to make your final decision.

What are estate cars?

Estate cars combine a hatchback design with an extended roof and spacious boot area. Perfect for families, their longer roofline extends towards the rear of the car, resulting in a much larger boot. To accommodate larger items such as luggage, groceries, or sports equipment, the rear seats of estate cars can be easily folded. This provides more space when needed.

Are estate cars longer than other cars?

Yes, estate cars typically have a longer body than saloons or hatchbacks. This maximises space and enhances practicality. The extended length provides plenty of room for passengers and creates a larger boot area. As a result, estate cars offer a comfortable and highly practical driving experience.

Why is it called an estate car?

The term estate car comes from the historical context of this type of vehicle. In the past, estate cars were frequently employed by residents of rural estates. Their significant boot area made them ideal for transporting luggage to and within extensive grounds.

What is the difference between a saloon and an estate car?

Estate cars feature an elongated roofline that sets them apart from saloons. While the roof of a saloon starts sloping after the rear windows, an estate car's roof continues beyond the rear wheels. This clever design offers a significantly larger boot area. You can easily fit in all your luggage, sports equipment, or even furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to look for when buying a used car?

When buying a used car there are several things you should look for, since you'll be spending a fair amount of money on it. You should ideally look for a car that meets your budget, has a decent mileage on it (an extremely low mileage is not always good), and will suit your lifestyle. At Bristol Street Motors, we offer a wide range of used cars in excellent condition to satisfy your needs. The best way to see if one of these is for you? Book a test drive. Learn more with our helpful guide to buying a used car.

What to check when buying a used car?

When buying a used car, there are a few things you should check in order to make sure you are satisfied with it and that it will meet your expectations. This includes checking the exterior and interior for any signs of damage in the form of scratches, scrapes, dents, rust, corrosion, tears, rips, and holes, as well as making sure things like the tyres and windscreen wipers are in good working order. This will involve a visual inspection of the car before you take it for a test drive. Read our guide to buying a used car for a checklist of things to inspect on your visit to the dealer.

What is the cooling-off period when buying a used car from a dealer?

The 'cooling-off' period refers to the time frame you have after buying a car to change your mind for whatever reason. This gives you the option to cancel your order after placing it and lasts for 14 days after you receive it. If you choose to cancel, you will be able to return the car to the dealership you purchased it from and receive a full refund.

What about the warranty when buying a used car?

It varies depending on the manufacturer. When you buy a used car, the warranty will be explained to you if the vehicle is still under a specific manufacturer's warranty. You should also be able to find information on the warranty in the documentation provided with your vehicle.

What are my rights when buying a used car?

If you are buying a used car, it's important to remember you have rights. According to Motors, there are several laws in place protecting you as the consumer, which are: - Consumer Rights Act 2015 - This protects you in almost any purchase you make, including both new and used cars. The Act states that any car bought from an official dealer should be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described. It also gives you the right to reject a vehicle within the first 30 days if it does not meet these standards, and for you to be given either a repair, replacement, or refund. - Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 - Dealerships must comply with these regulations which prohibit them from unfair business practices, such as giving false information or insufficient information about the vehicle, acting aggressively in order to make a sale, failing to meet reasonable expectations of what is acceptable, and engaging in specific banned practices like claiming a vehicle will only be available for a limited time to make a sale. Whether you buy a used car at the dealership or online, your rights will remain the same and they are there to make sure that you are sold a safe, road-worthy vehicle that meets your standards and expectations and is sold to you at a price that reflects its age and mileage.

How do I tax a second-hand car?

Taxing a second-hand car is the same as taxing a new one. The GOV.UK website sets out how to tax your vehicle, stressing that you must tax your vehicle even if you are exempt from paying road tax due to a disability, or driving an electric vehicle. You can do this easily online, with the help of your vehicle log book (V5C) or the green owner slip you received with the vehicle. Tax your vehicle in minutes here
