What is an Ex-Demo Car?
And Why Should You Consider One?
If you're in the market for a new car but want exceptional value without compromising on quality, an ex-demonstrator model, often referred to as an ex-demo, could be the perfect solution. But what exactly is an ex-demo car, and why are they worth considering?
What is an Ex-Demo Car?
An ex-demonstrator car is a vehicle that has been used by a dealership for a short period for demonstration purposes. These cars may have been:
- Used for test drives by prospective customers
- Driven by dealership staff or management
- Displayed in showrooms or used at promotional events
- Despite this limited use, ex-demo cars are meticulously maintained and typically come with low mileage, often under 10,000 km, and are kept in pristine condition to reflect the standards of the brand.
Why Should I Consider an Ex-Demo?
1. Significant Savings
Ex-demo models are often priced well below the cost of a brand-new vehicle, even though they are nearly new. You get excellent value.
2. Premium Spec & Extras
Dealerships often choose high-spec models to showcase the best features of a car. That means ex-demo cars often come with upgraded trims, premium interiors, advanced tech packs, and other optional extras all included in the price.
3. Balance of Warranty
Since the car is still relatively new, you’ll benefit from the balance of the manufacturer’s warranty, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your purchase.
4. Immediate Availability
Unlike factory orders which can involve long wait times, ex-demo cars are available immediately. If you’ve found the perfect model, you can arrive and drive away with your nearly new car on the same day.
5. Low Mileage & Excellent Condition
Ex-demo vehicles are regularly cleaned, serviced, and maintained by the dealership to a high standard. They often have very low mileage, ensuring minimal wear and tear.
