A recent BBC Business feature looked at the change in car-buying habits among the British public in the last couple of years, concluding that car-buyers are no longer nervous about buying a car without seeing it ‘in the metal’ first.

The new breed of online-only ‘car dealers’ such as Cinch came onto the scene well before the pandemic but it was only when lockdown struck – and traditional bricks-and-mortar car dealerships were suddenly out of bounds – that these new players came into their own. The traditional reticence about buying remotely evaporated, helped on its way by new features like video inspections, delivery to your door and no-quibble money-back guarantees.

We think Cinch are doing a great job but behind the digital shop window they’re no different to traditional car dealers: they carry a finite stock of cars and if they haven’t got what you want, you’re just going to have to be patient.

But there is another option – as clients of CarHounds have known since the business was established in 2016. Unlike Cinch, CarHounds isn’t a car dealer: we don’t carry any stock and our clients don’t buy their cars from us. That means we can look everywhere and anywhere for the car you want, meaning your chances of getting your perfect car when you want it are much higher. And the vast majority of the cars we source for clients are under four years old and supplied by main agent dealerships, meaning you have all the reassurance of buying from an established and trusted supplier.

If you’re coming round to the advantages of buying your next car remotely, why not give CarHounds a try? We might not have the mega-budgets needed to pop up on your TV every five minutes, but we understand what our clients want and we make sure they get it, without any fuss, every time.
