CB Trade Cars

Anybody had any dealing with the above company?

Seen a car on autotrader but dealer has no website and only a mobile number. OH has telephoned and is meeting the bloke at his house today to view the car in lexdon, colchester essex.

    Probably some guy buying up auction stuff and flogging it on for a few quid profit.

    I would avoid, you do seem to be hell bent on buying from the wrong people.;)
  • Bloke says he normally only buys at auction and sells to the trade but if he gets a really good car he will sell it himself. The car does look really good and surely its no more riskier than a private seller. Oh and DS1 have gone to see it now.

    So he normally sells to the trade but good cars he sells privately.

    What traders does he sell to that buy substandard cars, Bought unkown at auction by a 3rd party when they could just but it themselves & save money?

    Doesnt sound right at all. Nothing wrong with buying a car at auction & selling at a profit, I bought my latest car from just such a person.
    He was honest to say he normally buys smaller hatchbacks but the price mine went for he couldnt resist a risk. Big car lots of miles.
    I couldnt get any price reduction though, Despite my best efforts.

  • OH went to look at the car yesterday and was very impressed. He is supplying a years warranty with a national company. I have paid for a check on the car and everything seems fine. The car has a full vw service history.

    Could only manage a £50 price reduction and 6 months tax thrown in.
