Default has anyone used Express Match?

Are they any good for selling your car, i have been told they sell 85% of the cars in 7 days which costs £79.99 but you get £70 back if it is sold. Is it worth it i have never used a company like this before. below is their website...

i think these are the people that get numbers of sellers out of autotrader etc and try to flog their service.
in my opinion stay well away they are usually a bunch of con artists who take your money and do little else.

stick to the reputable companies pistonheads,autotrader
and alike.

yeh i thought the same, but on the phone and their website seems very good they have already told me they have one buyer who is interested in my car in my area they even gave a name and said he is looking for finance through that company but i need to register. Seems like a good blag but who knows they seem legit

I think the lack of response to this thread could be a clue! The only time I've heard of companies like this is when they have ripped people off.

Why would they only give you a refund if they do sell your car? Surely you'd want the money back if they didn't??

The 'one buyer in your area' could mean anything - someone looking for a family-sized car within 50 miles of where you live?

Up to you, but I wouldn't.

Anything like this is a royal rip off. They'll take your money & you'll not hear from them again. Makes me

The problem is that you can never tell if this particular company is real. Most of these type of companies are a con. They take your money and then you really never hear from them again. They have Call Centers full of people who just read through Autotrader and Exchange & Mart and just cold call.

As I'm going through the pleasure of selling my car at the moment, I am uncharacteristally rude to these people as they call at least every couple of days.

Have a look at what they're advertising - 1996 Polo @£85,000 and many more with similar stupid prices.

Stay well clear!
