Find my carThe smart way to buy new
It is a brand-new car that a dealer has registered before selling it. Nothing else about it has changed.
Franchised dealers register new cars in their own name to hit manufacturer targets at the end of a month or quarter. The moment a car is registered it becomes “used” on paper, even though it has only been driven from the factory to the forecourt. Dealers then sell these cars at a substantial discount to clear them.
The result is a car that is new in every way that matters, often available immediately rather than on a long factory order, and priced thousands of pounds below the same car bought unregistered.
Why Clearwater
We search franchised dealer stock nationwide, so your choice is never limited to one forecourt or one brand.
Our cars typically have under 100 miles on the clock: the distance from the factory to the dealer.
Pre-registered pricing means a significant saving against the same car ordered new and unregistered.
Every car comes with the manufacturer’s warranty, with the start date confirmed before you buy.
No long drives to distant dealers. We arrange delivery to your home or business.
Tell us the make, model, specification and colour. We do the phone calls, the checks and the paperwork.

Questions
A brand-new car that a franchised dealer has registered in its own name, usually to meet a manufacturer sales target, and then sells on. It has never had a private owner and has only delivery miles on the clock.
Once a car is registered it is classed as used, even with delivery miles only. Dealers price these cars to sell quickly, which typically means a saving of thousands of pounds against the same car ordered new.
Yes. Every car comes with the manufacturer’s full warranty package. The warranty runs from the date the car was first registered, so we always tell you the exact start date before you buy.
The supplying dealer is usually recorded as the first registered keeper, and you are recorded as the next. We explain this before purchase so there are no surprises.
Yes. Tell us exactly what you want. Because we search across the UK rather than one forecourt, we can usually find a close match, and we will tell you honestly if a specification is hard to find.
We arrange delivery to your door. Delivery details and any cost are agreed with you before you commit, so the price you agree is the price you pay.
