Anyone heard of them? Google has nothing on them, seem to have a selection of well priced cars.

Looking at this golf

I call dodgy on this one.

There's no companies registered to their name or unit on any business lookup. Raises eyebrows when they are selling cars in an industrial estate at 'too cheap to be true' prices.

Phone number and address are linked to 'Aland Car Sales', can't see much info on them. Can't seem to find what looks like the premises on google maps.

That's not to say they are definitely dodgy, but certain more against them than for.

Website first registered 2 months ago, address doesn't seem to exist, cars that are far too cheap, I'd run away quickly.

What?
All their cars on AT are all just under 5k. seems to be a very common pricepoint with car scams.

The original link posted by OP is Autotrader, just has a dealer portal template (they do it with a lot of dealers, register the domain for them too).

The Golf doesn't seem that bad, but the Scirocco is £7k less than the cheapest similar on AT


Weird thing is that Google search shows, or suggests, they'd had cars come and go on AT since Sept?

Thanks all, thought it seemed a little too good to be true!

Makes you wonder what their plan is once you ring and enquire?

Not sure.

Perhaps you struggle to find the garage on Halifax Road, so random employee comes to meet you and get in your car to take you to said place, where you end up in a sticky wicket in some quiet corner of an industrial estate.


Didn't they have similar issues with Gumtree not so long ago, with daft people turning up with envelopes of money getting jumped
