Car sourcing? Are they legit?
Options
So im thinking of purchasing a new toy.. but it has to be within budget..
Atm i have a list of a few "candidates" but they are all out of budget..
I.e Jag Xf 3.0d Portfolio S... i would pay 30, but they are priced at 35... no matter... i can wait.
Jag XFR (anything on 57+ plate) with all bells and whistles for under 25k.
M3 57plate+ for under 28k... Among others..Basically a really good car for a bargain
I am considerng going to auction as the cars im considering are stilll under manufactors warentee.. This should mean that provided its not stolen or been in an accident, i can get all of the "problems" fixed under warrenty.. SO should be a nice way to save a few pennies when compared to dealerships.. BUT i dont know if this is a v good idea...
I was browsing around and came across some "car sourcing" companies.. you give them the car/cars you want and the budget you want and they do it for you for a fee.
But u dont get to see the car till its delivered and u have paid for it.
Just wondering if any1 here has any experiance with such companies and weather they are reliable or not? do they just take ur details and go to auction and then deliver that car? or is there more to this?
Any direction apreciated as i cant find any reviews or such when i google.
