cars4cash Too good to be true?

Am just in the process of buying a new car. been offered £1400 for my old one as part-X
Was hoping for around £1800
Have tried 'we buy any car' and on-line offer price £1375. Have just come across cash4cars whose on-line offer is £1750.
Have arranged home visit later this week, does anyone have any experience with this company?
Have tried to find some reviews, but haven't found any?

Thanks

I bet they offer less than £1400 when they see it.

Have you had experience of them?

I bet they find minor marks and scratches that you failed to mention.

Haggle harder with your dealer, If they wont budge after seeing your car then sell it privately.

cashmy-car.com is a scam they try to get you to pay £50,

beware!!!!!

previously they were gbcarbuyer.com, gbautobuyer.com, they change the site every other week, they aren't interested in buying cars , they just want the £50 appointment fee.!!!!!!

only deal with the company if they have their address on the website. the others will be scammers.

This advice has confirmed what I suspected - a complete scam. Their bid for my car was close to the asking price in Autotrader - then they sent several texts confirming the price, and asking me to log on to their website to book an appointment for their buyer but I had my doubts when they asked for £50 up front before viewing the car. Also could not find any reviews from people who had used them.

Have checked their T&C, but the only fee mentioned is a £20 bank transfer fee

My local branch is Home visit only but, I did go via their official web site?

I would avoid any company that ask for any sort of payment.

£20 off 1000 people must be worth 20 minutes and £10 buying a website and uploading it.
