Keep the search focussed on your priorities
A clear brief saves time
Budget, mileage and must-haves help us search with real purpose.
Useful for hard-to-find specs
Automatic, Ford and Mini requests often benefit from sourcing.
Review before deciding
Vehicle details and condition are discussed before you commit.
Set a better brief before the search begins
Sometimes the right car is not in the current stock, or not in the exact trim, gearbox or mileage range you had in mind. With AV Car Sales Ltd, a sourcing brief lets us search with purpose instead of guesswork. The useful starting point is make, model, budget, age, mileage, transmission, fuel type, body style and the features you will not compromise on. It also helps to separate genuine must-haves from nice-to-haves, because that can widen the search without losing what matters most. When you set the brief through AV Car Sales Ltd, we can keep the search practical from our Canterbury base.


Review the match before you move forward
Sourcing is especially handy when you want a less common specification, an automatic, or a particular Ford or Mini that is not currently in front of you. Once we identify a possible match, we can talk you through the vehicle details and the condition information available so you can decide whether it is worth pursuing further. That way, you are not pushed into a car simply because it turned up first. Through AV Car Sales Ltd, sourcing is there to protect your priorities, not blur them.
Frequently asked questions
What details help you source the right car?
A good brief normally includes make, model, budget, age, mileage, transmission, fuel type, body style and the features you consider essential. It also helps to separate must-haves from nice-to-haves, because that gives us room to search without drifting away from what matters most.
Can you source automatic, Ford or Mini models?
Yes, if you have a clear idea of what you want. Sourcing is especially useful for automatic cars, particular Ford models and specific Mini variants, because those searches often depend on getting the right mix of mileage, spec, condition and price rather than taking the first one you see.
What happens when a possible match is found?
We talk you through the available vehicle details and any condition information before you decide whether to move forward. That way, you can judge the car against your original brief and avoid feeling pushed into a compromise that misses the main reason you asked us to source it.
