LTI launches Quality Approved Used Taxi scheme
LTI Vehicles, manufacturer of the famous London taxis, has launched a quality approved used vehicle scheme for the first time.
Taxicare – LTI Quality Approved Used Taxis – is designed to ensure that drivers buying second-hand cabs are guaranteed a quality vehicle that has undergone 93 different quality checks and a complete mechanical overhaul.
Before being sold under the scheme by established LTI Vehicles dealers across the UK, the taxis undergo a full bodywork check and have a comprehensive investigation against the previous owner and on any outstanding hire purchase finance.
The cabs are guaranteed a local authority pass, have 12 months’ tax, full dealer support and, with certain mileage restrictions, 12 months’ free servicing and two years’ breakdown insurance.
Commenting on the newly-launched scheme, Matthew Cheyne, Sales and Marketing Director with Coventry-based LTI Vehicles, said: "This is something that customers want and dealers have asked for and we were happy to offer a programme that ensures used vehicles sold through our approved dealers are of the highest quality.
"We have included as many safeguards as possible to give the driver peace of mind. We give all the vehicles a mechanical overhaul and full service.
"Our engineers thoroughly check the vehicle against 93 different points. There is also a check into its history and to ensure there is no outstanding HP finance on it.
"We are so confident of the quality of the vehicles sold through the scheme that we even offer free servicing and breakdown cover.
"LTI’s purpose-built taxis have a reputation around the world for style, quality and long-life. Taxicare shows we have confidence in our own products and do everything we can to ensure drivers get the best possible deal."
Among the vehicles currently being offered through the scheme are a 52-plate TXII Black Bronze Manual with 150,000 miles at £16,995 and 54-plate TXII Thistle Blue Silver Automatic with 60,000 miles at £23,995.
The TXII is the most recent version of the familiar London-style taxi and boasts all-new suspension, full wheelchair access, intercom system and brightly-painted handles and steps to aid the visually-impaired.
