buying a car online

billfinger

ive seen a great car on marketplace and the ad linked me to usedcarsandonline .i messaged them to view and a person called holie said its an online purchase only, no viewing. is this a scam or genuine site. thanks in advance

It may or may not be a scam but the more important part is online purchasing only??? AND no viewing??? I would body swerve that without giving it a second thought.

Avoid!   Just my view...

If you have doubts, pick another car from another place.

The FAQ is generic boiler plate about repo cars being sold with no "sales tax".

A quick look at their stock shows prices to be utterly unrealistically low. Googleing them comes up with the same images being used on other sites - s60-private-repocars.com and cardealershipltd.com - which no longer work... Many of the images themselves are nicked from CarGiant or Motorpoint ads.

And you think that sending money for a car you've never even looked at can end well, with all those alarm bells...?

Scam all day long.  No business in the land would model used car sales this way.

May not be a scam but I wouldn't buy a  car like that, particularly when there's plenty of alternatives.

Bad review on Trustpilot (which you use and trust or so you said). https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/usedcarsandonline.com

Now back to ignore (my blood pressure can’t cope).

I reckon it’s genuine,...but you may need to travel to Nigeria to pick the car up.

Are you sure it wasn't Holie Molie?

Was the car cheaper than anything else you've seen?
