here is what they said in the live chat..s car?

You must register on our website first and after that click on “Reserve” button. After the reserve is completed, please reply to the email our system will send automatically and ask for the payment details. We work with Stripe.com, they are our payment processor. You will receive a Stripe Connect bank account, that will act as third party and hold your payment until the car is delivered to your address. After the car is delivered and you will have the chance to inspect it, you will have two options. Keep the car or refuse it. If you accept it, Stripe Connect transfers the payment to us and all the paperwork is signed. If you refuse the car, we take it back for free and Stripe Connect refund the payment at your bank account. There are no hidden costs involved and the delivery is free. Since we are an online based company, this is an up to date and modern way to buy nowadays. The temporary bank account will be created on your name, for this reason you will be the sender and also the receiver of the transfer. is this site dodgy or wat,,is it to good teec,ive checked on company house and they exist etc o be true et

Sounds shady to me. Just all a bit undeserving of trust.

Stripe are well known and to be trusted, but the Connect setup just seems weird, and I'd be worried that they'd dump the vehicle on you and be off with your money. Maybe if you can find some more information on using stripe connect as a mediator, and how safe it is, it could give you some insight.

Otherwise, it sounds like there's not much to lose. If you truly can refuse the car and keep your money, it's pretty similar to a private sale I guess.

[aaronblack]

Soon as I read they hold the funds whilst we deliver the car ...

Don't know any of the two, but haven't people been doing this on eBay/Autotrader?

[N57]

I'd avoid personally, "Great Used Carss" shows nothing on a basic google search. That might be enough info to put you off

[rasa bmw]

yeh,,and the 2 cars im looking at just seem too cheap..even fro a repossession..here is one of them https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...1605452903733/

[Tambohamilton]

Wait, they're advertising on Facebook, not their own website??

im worried about no car and off with the cash,,i was going to go to the bank and ask them

[Tambohamilton]

True, that would be a worse outcome. Either way, you'd want to know that the money was still under your control (or that if a trusted 3rd party).

Honestly mate, I think you're best to walk away. Nobody is going to sell something for nothing. I'm 99% sure it's too good to be true. No website, no premises, and weird payment setup....it's a no from me!

No reviews on the page aswell, their first post was 2 days ago.

You buy cheap, you buy twice pal

"Most of the vehicles are stored at the parking lots of banks and financial institutions.
They don't have showrooms or specialized people in order to offer this service."
But yet it looks like it is parked at a dealer's or photo studio to take professional photos of it to sell?? It doesn't sound right to me.

There isn't a single statement in the above that sounds genuine.

[therealdb1]

If you win an auction the seller will expect you to pay for an item and take it away asap. It will not be sitting around at the seller's premises waiting for a third party to buy it again.

No harm in reselling repossed items purchased at Police or Finance Company auctions but if you were setting up an enterprise to do this do you not think you would at least invest in your own website and not use Facebook?????

Also logging the full purchase price is nonsense. I bought my BMW from a dealer on the far side of the country before I had seen it. However, he had already made an offer on my part-exchange car on the basis of photos I sent him and requested a £250 deposit to hold my new car until I could get over there to see it. I had also spoken to him on the phone to arrange things not some online chat that could be anyone anywhere AND he has his own website.

Much lower risk than this OP.

Caveat Emptor!

Actually they do have a website of sorts but if these cars are stored in bank and financial institutions car parks do you not think it strange that all of their photos are taken in what appears to be a studio?

My previous comment applies and personally I would look elsewhere.

[rasa bmw]

yeh,,i noticed all the pics of cars are like auction pics,,all on a rotating wheel and done professionally,,but then they say they are stored all over the place at financial institutions and yhe likes,,no way would i pay 13k into their company,,thats why im asking etc,,just would like to hear if anyone,or anyone ever heard who has etc,,would be great though ha ha,,order car, send it back after 3 days,,repeat 1000 times ha ha,,free car me thinks

Obviously too much money burning a hole in your pocket

Looks nice apart from the red leather but that's my personal view, I'd rather have cream or black; each to their own.

Does that mean you are leaving us poor E9x er's behind now you are a 6sr owner, rasa?
