Everything you might ask us
Still curious after reading? Give us a shout. We love a good little-car question.
Do you only sell small cars?
We do. CityDrive is all about compact and city cars: hatchbacks, subcompacts, small sedans and city EVs. It is the one thing we do, so every car on the lot has passed the same 150-point checkup.
What is the 7-day love-it guarantee?
Drive your car home and live with it for a week. If it is not the right fit, bring it back within 7 days for a full refund or swap it for another car on the lot. No restocking fees, no interrogation.
Is the price on the website the real price?
Yes. Theo sends an itemised out-the-door sheet showing the car, sales tax, title and registration, and nothing else. No GPS trackers, nitrogen fills or other add-ons are pre-installed or required.
Can I use my own bank, credit union or cash?
Absolutely, and the price stays the same. Bring a pre-approval or pay cash, or let Theo compare quotes from credit unions and national lenders. He works with first-time buyers and thin credit files too.
Will you take my trade-in if I still owe on it?
Yes. Marcus or Theo will appraise it while you wait and give you a written offer that holds for 7 days, whether or not you buy from us. If there is a loan, we pay your lender directly, usually within 10 business days.
Can my own mechanic look the car over?
Of course. Take it to an independent shop within 15 miles, or ask Marcus to put it on the lift and walk you through the 150-point checkup sheet himself.
Do I need an appointment to test drive?
Walk-ins are always welcome, but booking a private test drive by message or phone means your car is cleaned, charged and waiting for a full hour. Bring your driving licence and proof of insurance.
Can you hold a car or find one for me?
A fully refundable $500 deposit holds a car for 72 hours. For something not on the lot, the Little-Car Finder costs a $495 retainer that is credited in full to the purchase, or refunded if Mia has not found a match within 45 days.
Do you offer warranties?
Yes. Every car includes a complimentary limited warranty, and extended coverage from $895 is offered once, on a printed menu, if you want extra peace of mind. It is always optional.
