To any buyer wishing to use his car over a longer period we will give special quotations.
Reasons why this Re-purchase Scheme must appeal to you
1. There can be no doubt about the quality of our Cars when we are prepared
to buy them back again..
2. A Fifteen Hundred Dollar Car costs you less than $2.00 per day over the
period of six months, and the Car is your own..
3. If you are going on leave in three or four months, you can drive your own car over that period, and even to the boat on the day you sail, without having any worry about re-selling.
When you arrive in England, we can arrange for you to have similar service, and can in fact have a car of any good English make waiting for you at the boat when you land.
5. We can supply you with used Cars in Hong Kong from $500.
