Antony Deane purchased his ASX 3 — the first brand new car he has ever bought — via the Buy Online facility after noticing the new web-based buying portal on the Mitsubishi Motors in the UK website. Deane (43) completed his purchase in less than 20 minutes by following the simple-to-use steps of the service.
He was then able to chat online with the dedicated Mitsubishi Buy Online support team to determine the delivery of his ASX, collecting his Orient Red Mitsubishi ASX 3 just three weeks later from Grosvenor Garage Mitsubishi in Tunbridge Wells. Mitsubishi Buy Online also offers the option of home delivery. (Related: Mitsubishi backs Scottish Rugby)
Deane also took advantage of the option to part-exchange his existing car via the trade-in valuation facility offered by the Buy Online tool, simply dropping his previous car off with Grosvenor Garage Mitsubishi and driving away in his new ASX.
He also has a Mitsubishi Service Plan, ensuring his future servicing requirements are hassle-free. Service plans and accessories can all be added at the time of placing an order on Buy Online and integrated into finance payment plans.
“I knew I wanted the Mitsubishi ASX and when I saw that I could actually buy it through the website, I decided to save time and go via Mitsubishi Buy Online,” the father-of-four from Crawley, said. “It did feel a little strange at first, as one minute I was having a coffee and the next I was buying a car on my phone, but it was all very straightforward and really well explained.
“Buying a new Mitsubishi is a very big thing for me, it’s the first new car I’ve bought in 25 years of driving and the whole experience was brilliant throughout. Other than uploading some documentation, I completed everything on my phone and if I had a question, the Mitsubishi Buy Online team were a fantastic help. The experience has been so enjoyable that there’s a good chance we’ll use Mitsubishi Buy Online when we replace my partner’s car in the near future.”
Lance Bradley, managing director, Mitsubishi Motors in the UK, said: “We’re delighted the first Mitsubishi Buy Online customer has taken delivery of his new Mitsubishi. Mr. Deane’s decision to use our new online buying facility and his experience throughout his purchase epitomise why we invested in Mitsubishi Buy Online.
“An ever-increasing amount of car buyers are considering purchasing their next new vehicle online and giving our customers the option to do this, in addition to providing them with a traditional dealer network, is essential in making their Mitsubishi experience the very best it can be.”
