Buying a Car Online with Holden Group: Everything You Need to Know
Buying a Car Online with Holden Group: Everything You Need to Know
For many of us, buying a car has always been something we do in person. You walk into a dealership, sit in the driver’s seat, ask a few questions, and then take a test drive. But times are changing. Thanks to digital technology, it’s now possible to complete almost the entire car-buying process online.
At Holden Group, we want to make car ownership as easy, transparent and flexible as possible. Whether you’re based in Norwich, King’s Lynn, or elsewhere across East Anglia, you can now browse, finance, and even arrange home delivery of your next vehicle, all from the comfort of your sofa.
This guide explains how online car buying works, what to expect, and why it could be the right choice for you.
Why Buy a Car Online?
Online car buying has grown rapidly over the past few years. Just as many of us now order groceries, clothes and furniture on the internet, more and more UK drivers are turning to online platforms for their next car.
The main reasons are convenience and choice. Instead of spending weekends visiting different dealerships, you can search a wide range of vehicles from your phone or laptop. You can compare prices, check specifications and arrange finance at a time that suits you.
For Holden customers, online buying also means complete peace of mind. Every car is quality-checked, and you’ll still benefit from the same trusted service you’d receive in person at one of our showrooms.
The Step-by-Step Online Buying Process
If you’ve never bought a car online before, here’s what the process usually looks like with Holden Group.
1 – Browse Cars Online
Our website lists hundreds of new and used vehicles from leading brands including, but not limited to, Renault, Dacia, Honda, Kia, MG, Mitsubishi, Polestar and Volvo.
You can filter by price, mileage, fuel type, body style or features to quickly find the models that fit your lifestyle and budget.
2 – Reserve your car from £99
Seen something you like? You can secure it instantly with a refundable deposit starting from just £99. This ensures the car is held for you while you finalise the next steps. If you change your mind, your deposit will be returned in full.
3 – Arrange Finance and Part-Exchange
Our online finance calculators let you tailor monthly payments to your budget. You can also get an instant part-exchange valuation by entering a few details about your current car. This means you’ll know exactly what your next car will cost before making a decision.
4 – Choose Collection or Home Delivery
Once your purchase is confirmed, you can decide whether to collect your car from your nearest Holden dealership or have it delivered straight to your door. Delivery is a popular option for customers who want the easiest possible handover.
5 – Enjoy Peace of Mind with Returns
Buying a car is a big decision, so we give you a 14-day money-back guarantee. If for any reason the car isn’t right for you, you can return it for a full refund.
The Benefits of Buying a Car Online
There are clear advantages to going digital when it comes to your next car:
- Convenience – Shop 24/7 from anywhere, without needing to travel.
- Speed – Reserve a car instantly from £99.
- Transparency – Compare prices and specifications side by side.
- Confidence – Every vehicle is thoroughly quality-checked and comes with Holden’s warranties and guarantees.
- Flexibility – Choose Click & Collect or home delivery, with all deposits fully refundable if you change your mind.
For busy families, commuters and first-time buyers, online car buying can save valuable time while still providing the reassurance of a trusted local dealer.
Can I book a test drive online?
Many drivers worry about missing out on the test drive experience when buying online. At Holden Group, we understand this. That’s why you can still book a test drive before committing. Simply contact our team and we’ll arrange a convenient time for you to try the car, either at one of our dealerships or, in some cases, at your home.
This way, you get the best of both worlds: the speed and simplicity of online buying combined with the confidence that comes from getting behind the wheel.
Is Buying a Car Online Right for You?
Online car buying suits a wide range of drivers. It’s especially helpful if:
- You already know the model you want and just need a quick, simple way to buy it.
- You prefer to manage finance and paperwork digitally.
- You value flexible collection or delivery options.
- You like the reassurance of a return guarantee.
However, if you’re unsure about which car is best for you, visiting a dealership first can still be worthwhile. Our team will be happy to guide you through different models, explain hybrid and electric options, and help you choose based on your needs.
