Hi just after some advice about a website, as a mate is on about buying a car off it. They said we can go view it tuesday but its 7hrs away lol so he is tempted to take a risk and just transfer 11k over and get it delivered what i think is really risky!! any help or advice will be appreciated cheers
site www.berresfords.co.uk
forgot to add they are salvage cars! when you ring it all seems genuine etc they also have there cars on autotrader etc

What car?
It's an insurer and motor salvage company.
Looks legit but any cheap car will be cheap for a reason, as always.

Paying 11k I'd want to view it first
Any good company should be more than willing to pick you up from the train station and at a guess train will work out cheaper then driving one car down and two cars back petrol wise

The red RS4 looks very cheap.
Other stuff is about right for salvage. But yeah, I wouldn't be doing it over the phone.
Strange that they'll even accept that type of deal, I know the other salvage place I deal with don't even take anything other than cash in their hand until you've done £5k of purchases.

you had to register an account with them send them a copy of your passport etc, they said they have only just started selling to the public and not just trade

Tatty like, I'm not talking about main dealer.
2008 for £14k is good like but you can certainly have RRS for about that. I've seen them retail for £16k.

Yeah although that other one was on 70k which is cambelt territory.
At least at 100k it should be done already.
