Are they any good? They buy from auctions and other sources.

    I'll rather use autotrader to find the car I want. They will probably be doing the same thing and charge you for the privilege. Also you may get a car in condition you don't like as the first time you see it is when they deliver it. It may also be complicated if you need to reject the car or ask for any repairs done.

    You mean like... a car dealer?

    If you want auction prices you'll have to go to an auction and (if it starts) drive one away yourself.

    If you want people sourcing used cars for you you and delivering them, you'll either pay for that in the price or the quality.

    I would imagine a service like this could be very useful if you want help sourcing a car and don't have the time, skills or inclination to do it yourself. You will pay a little more to source a car this way, that's how they make their money, but it seems a fairly reasonable service at first glance. Give them a ring or even better visit them if you live close and talk to them.
