KARMAN PRESTIGE
If you’re looking to sell your vehicle, KARMAN would be happy to help — just get in touch, email us at info@karman.uk
KARMAN Prestige is a separate business entity from KARMAN Valeting and operates as a trading company of KARMAN Group Ltd.
We are not a high‑volume sales organisation; instead, we focus on selective vehicle purchasing throughout the year — sourcing cars directly from our customers and carefully chosen platforms.
To minimise risk and maintain quality, we follow strict buying criteria and generally avoid auctions, as these do not allow us to test‑drive vehicles prior to purchase. By maintaining a clear and disciplined buying process, we are able to eliminate many foreseeable issues before a vehicle is purchased.
However, due to the nature of cars — with many moving parts and mechanical systems — unexpected issues can still arise. This is simply part of vehicle ownership, and we remain transparent and realistic about this with every customer.

Do you charge admin fees?
No. We believe in transparent, honest pricing. The price you see is the price you pay — no hidden admin fees.
Can I pay to have cosmetic work done before collection?
Of course. We can machine polish, ceramic coat, refurbish alloys, or carry out subtle cosmetic upgrades like painted mirror caps or grille changes. You can personalise the car before you drive it away. We would require full payment before we can carry out paid upgrades?
Do Karman Offer a warranty on used cars?
KARMAN can offer a comprehensive warranty for a small additional cost. The price varies depending on the vehicle’s age, make, model and mileage, ensuring you only pay for the level of cover that suits your car.
Dealer Margins, please read if you think we are making a lot of money
Customers often think dealers make a big profit on a car, but in reality margins are usually very tight. For example, a Renault Clio bought at £3,000 might cost around £200 in advertising, £500 in preparation and £150 in general business costs, bringing the total to £3,850 before it’s even listed. If it sells for £4,500, that leaves £650 gross profit. From that, margin VAT on the difference (£300) and corporation tax (around £70) reduce the margin to roughly £380 — and that’s before factoring in a warranty or any market movement. It’s a much smaller profit than most people expect.
MORE CARS WANTED
At KARMAN, we are always looking for high‑quality used cars and can often beat the true valuation offered by comparison websites.
Many people don’t realise that the headline price shown online is based on a car being in perfect condition — and it’s not always the amount you actually receive once the vehicle is inspected.
At KARMAN, we provide a genuine, accurate valuation after seeing the car in person. This means the price we offer is a true reflection of your vehicle’s condition, not an inflated estimate that gets reduced later.
