Do ex-demo cars come with a full warranty?
No, ex-demo cars do not come with a full warranty. Instead, you will get the remaining manufacturer warranty on the vehicle. This will vary depending on the vehicle's age. For example, if an ex-demo car is one year old and the manufacturer warranty is three years, the vehicle will come with the remaining two years' warranty.
What is the difference between pre-reg and ex-demo cars?
Ex-demo cars are normally used for test drives or by sales executives and staff on-site. These are likely to have a higher mileage. Pre-reg cars on the other hand are brand-new, with only the delivery mileage in most cases. These can no longer be classed as new since they have been provided with a number plate.
