Buying guide · Paying for it

What are on-road costs on a used car?

A price marked + ORC excludes additional on-road costs. Ask for the exact drive-away price and an itemised explanation for the car you want before you commit.

Compare the total, not just the sticker

The vehicle price and the amount you pay to drive away can differ. The amount and inclusions depend on the specific vehicle and transaction. A clear quote should separate the advertised price, on-road costs and any optional products.

Ask for these figures

Before paying a deposit or signing, ask for the complete drive-away amount in writing.

  • The vehicle price and the exact ORC amount.
  • What the ORC charge includes for this car.
  • Any optional warranty or insurance and whether you chose it.
  • If financing, the deposit, interest rate, fees, term and total repayment.
