No, not the principle of people selling a car with no reserve but the seller: carswithnoreserve. Has anyone bought from them because their cars are seriously cheap?

I would post a link but as a relative newbie I may be a spammer.

    They were originally called Sterling Cars on eBay and were trading from home in Reading. They either bought, or sold on commission, part-exchanges from main dealers. Often upmarket cars.

    They're on a trade site now (still in Reading but different staff) and seem to buy vehicles at auction - you can see from many of their pics that the cars are photographed at auction sites - then list them on eBay. Its buyer beware as carswithnoreserve don't appear to service the cars or fix any faults prior to sale unless you pay extra. They might not even know if there are any faults.

    My personal experience: bought a car in 2004 from them and it lasted 5 years. However, last year I bid on and won a car which, when I went to collect, had non-disclosed faults. I passed on the purchase and they were alright about it.
