Junction 17 Cars

Junction 17 Cars, prestige used car dealership in Peterborough

Junction 17 Cars is an independent family-run high-end used car dealership with over 50 years of combined experience in the sector. Its main site is in Yaxley, within the city of Peterborough, and the company also has a showroom in Grantham and another in Rugby, its most recent dealership.

The business presents itself as not tied to any particular brand, which allows it to offer impartial advice and select vehicles from any manufacturer. According to its own description, it keeps more than 300 prestige cars in stock and, when it does not have the exact model a customer is looking for, its team works to source it.

Vehicles in stock and brands available

The company's catalogue covers a wide range of premium and sports brands. Among the marques present in its inventory are Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, BMW, BYD, Chevrolet, Cupra, DS Automobiles, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Maserati, Mazda, McLaren, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Polestar, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Seat, Skoda, Tesla, Toyota, Vauxhall, Volkswagen and Volvo.

The selection includes models of very different profiles and budgets. By way of example, the catalogue showed units such as a 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish 6.0 V12, a 2018 Audi TT RS 2.5 TFSI, a 2017 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Roadster, a 2014 Audi SQ5 3.0 BiTDI, a 2022 BMW M4 Competition, a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar 2.0 D240, a 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and a 2020 BMW 530d M Sport, among others.

Finance and warranty

Junction 17 Cars offers finance options through associated lenders, with PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) and HP (Hire Purchase) plans. The company presents itself as a credit broker and not a lender, and states that its advisers look for the package that best suits each customer, regardless of their previous financial situation. It also offers flexible plans for businesses that need a fleet of vehicles.

Alongside finance, the company offers an optional parts and labour warranty to cover unforeseen events after purchase. It also states that all vehicles are hand-picked and subjected to multiple checks by its technicians at the time of acquisition.

Vehicle sales and brokerage

In addition to direct sales, the company offers a brokerage service aimed at owners of high-end cars who want to maximise the return on their vehicle by using the showroom and facilities of Junction 17 Cars. It also has an instant valuation service for those who wish to sell their car, with the stated aim of offering a valuation that reflects the quality and individual merit of the vehicle.

Online buying and customer service

The company allows customers to search for and reserve vehicles through its website via a step-by-step process, without needing to travel. However, it points out that it does not operate an organised distance selling system under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, so buying without a prior visit to the dealership does not give rise to a right to cancel within 14 days, without prejudice to other legal rights.

Junction 17 Cars Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as a credit broker, with registration number FRN 673249, and acts as an appointed representative of AutoProtect (MBI) Ltd for insurance distribution. The company states that it receives fixed commissions from lenders for introducing customers and a commission proportional to the premium from its insurance provider, without this altering the terms of the finance agreement. Where the customer comes through an external finance company, it applies an additional charge of £599.

Dealership network

The company operates three locations. The main one, in Yaxley (Peterborough), is presented as the flagship site for its stock selection, expertise and service. The Grantham showroom displays its range of prestige used cars, and the Rugby showroom, the most recent, offers a wide selection of vehicles. The Peterborough site is located in an area with good road and rail connections to London and the Midlands.
