Test to Buy a Car in Cyprus: Try It Before You Commit
Just moved to Cyprus and still not sure how long you will stay? Buying a car on day one is a big commitment when your plans are open. Test to Buy Car from Cyprus Auto Service is the in-between option: drive a real car now, live with it for a few months, and only then decide whether to keep it, swap it, or hand it back - with no pressure and no blind risk.
What Test to Buy Car Actually Means
It is simple: you rent a car from us with the option to buy it later. Instead of guessing from a test drive of twenty minutes, you get to know the car the way you actually use it - the school run, the motorway to work, parking in Larnaca. When you are ready, a large part of what you already paid goes toward the purchase, so the months behind the wheel are never wasted money.
How the Programme Works
Drive from €400/month for a minimum of 3 months.
Servicing included up to 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first.
When the rental ends, we credit 50% of what you paid toward buying that car - or any other.
Want to keep going? Move onto a lease-to-buy plan and continue without a break.
You can choose a car from our stock in Cyprus or order one directly from Japan - see live prices and options here.
Who Test to Buy Car Is For
This programme was built for people whose life in Cyprus is still taking shape:
New arrivals who are not ready to commit to a purchase yet.
IT professionals, freelancers and relocators here on a contract.
Students who need a car for a few months.
Families looking at a sensible second car.
Anyone who simply wants to really test a car before deciding to buy.
A Real Example of the Savings
Say you rent a Toyota Aqua at €400/month for 6 months - that is €2,400. Decide to buy it? We credit €1,200 toward the purchase. Prefer a different car from our Japan stock? The credit simply moves to the new one. Either way, the money you spent driving comes back to work for you.
Why It Is Lower Risk Than Buying Blind
The biggest risk when you buy fast is discovering, too late, that the car does not fit your life. Test to Buy Car removes that. If it is not right, you return it or switch. And because we import and inspect cars ourselves, the vehicle you drive has a documented history - you can even browse live Japanese auction stock or follow a specific car through the auction process before you commit.
