Great used cars limited

romangb

Does anybody have any experience with great-used-cars.com?
I can’t find any reviews on line. This company sells repo cars they buy in auctions but can not be viewed as they only deliver.

If those 8 words don't ring alarm bells, I don't know what would- even CoPart let you look at what you are buying before you bid.

Total scam.

The images they are using of their "staff" were on another scam site - DC Wells.co.uk which has since been taken down, but is discussed here.

Company set up in 2013 and every year since 2015 up to and including 2019 they have filed "Accounts for a dormant company"
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08766368/filing-history
and bank transfer payments only.
As for the photograph of their team on their website:
It looks remarkably similar to this one:

I wouldn't touch them with your barge pole.

Thank you so much for your posts. I thought it was too good to be true. Alarm bells are already ringing after seeing all your replies.

I'm fairly sure a lot of repo cars go through CoPart. You view if you want, bid as normal, if you win pay all the extra fees, and they do deliver (extra- obviously). Have a look on youtube there are a few people who post "How to" videos.

I would say thats not even their limited company.

These scammers usually pick a real company name and an actual viable business address so a cursory check yields a positive result.
