Hi there

A friend of mine is looking to sell her car, and she's had contact from Nationwidecarbuyer.com - but it's strange that there's no company details on their website.

Has anyone heard of them or dealt with them?

Thanks in advance

Toby

    Avoid ANY company that contact you.

  • There's only one reason why a company would not put company details on their website.

    Don't you know what it is?

    See http://www.whois.com/whois/nationwidecarbuyer.com
    The domain isn't even registered to a company, just a domain hoster.

    As already said, there is only one reason why someone doesn't put their full identity on their website. They don't want you to be able to trace them.

    Avoid.

    Damn i thought it was because they were so generous with their offers,

    They dont want everyone knocking on the door to get double what their
    car is really worth. :)

  • Well, she used them - and they paid the money into their account and the bank have confirmed that it's arrived safely, and then they took the car.

    So apparently they were a bona fide company

    Is she certain that the money hasn't by now been taken back by the payee, and so leaving your friend with no money and no car?

    She wouldn't be the first.

    All sorted now folks ^^

    You can now relax and sell your cars with complete confidence :)

    This thread goes back to around September last year, the address is just being added now?
    And that my son, is how to waft a towel!
  • Hi There,

    Would just like to explain the reasons for our address not being on our website: we operate a nationwide collection service so there is no need for people to bring there vehicle to us therfore we did not see to give a address, but we will be adding this soon as we can understand your point.

    Also I would just like say we are a bonafide company trying to give the general public a good honest reliable service.

    Thank you

    maybe you shouldn't make unfounded allegations against said company, then they wouldn't feel the need to brake a little 'rule' ;)

    and yes, you are right, there is only one reason they wouldn't supply details on their website.. because they aren't legally obliged to supply them..

    I suggest you re-read my posts above. I haven't made a single accusation against the company. Any suggestion of anything is in the mind of the reader.
