Anyone sold a car to bid-autotrader.com?

[gshughes]

I have a car for sale on Autotrader at the moment, and have received an offer via text message to buy it from a company called www.bid-autotrader.com. They have offered £200 less than advertised. Website looks pretty professional, and they claim that they make their money from the finance deal when they sell the car on.

Anyone heard anything about this lot, or sold a car to them before?

Many thanks.

er, it's a holding page. Walk. Walk a bit more. Then run.

I believe there was a thread about this company a week or two ago, and the general conclusion was its a scam. Will try and dig it out for you.

A simply google search (yes, I know PH is quicker) would have told you this is a scam.

Even Autotrader's own pages tell you to avoid them, so I'd probably avoid them.
