Hello all, my first post here but I have visited the forum many times.
I'm looking to change my car and have stumbled across a too good to be true bargain and was wondering if anyone had ever dealt with the company involved.
They are called TJK Auto Transport and from what I can tell they act as a broker for car sales. The seller is in Italy, I can only have the car delivered after payment. If I'm not satisfied I can return the car within 48 hours at my expense for a refund.
It screams scam to me but the email I got from them ended "reccommended by PistonHeads" so ow maybe I'm wondering if maybe the world is not all bad and this could be genuine.

Over to you with any advice if anyone has used this company or brought a car this way.

It was for the XC90.
The number in the ad was wrong. Seller got me to e-mail his "sister" who was in Italy and suggested I contact the shipping company as they were acting as brokers for the deal.
Got an email from the brokers which had the recommended by PH on the bottom of it.

Seeing that someone else got the 'I'm in Italy line for a different car is going to make me steer well clear.

Thanks for all your replies.
