I am so fed up of being ripped off! I was totally honest about my car and its faults. They gave me a price by email, then when they phoned to 'arrange collection' offered my a third of the quote. The email clearly says sold for the quoted price. Everyone needs to get onto trading standards about this company. Diabolical service.
What a bunch of jokers! Offer you one price online , you accept offer then call you and tell you they can pay you a third of offered price, clearly looking to rip off desperate people! And have the cheek to charge you £75 to collect it! NO THANKYOU WOULD RATHER GIVE IT AWAY!
Firstly the offer they gave me was completely false and the email very misleading. I was offered £345 plus £75 if I delivered my car. I accepted this order and had email confirmation. I then phoned to book my drop off location and was told they would give me £200 plus collection. I expressed my annoyance at being misled but agreed at this price as it was what other companies had offered. We booked my collection date on the phone and I received email confirmation. On the day I didn't have any contact with them so phoned around 2pm and was put through to the scrap yard who had no collection booking and were expecting a delivery. I had taken the day off work to be in between 8 and 5 for the collection so was very annoyed. I offered to deliver for the £75 but they said that wasn't part of their offer. Disappointingly I had to rebook the collection for the following week and therefore take more time off work. I received no confirmation. The day before I received an email saying they would be there between 8 and 5 but then later received a text from the driver telling me he would be there at 7. The car was off road at my parents so I would be traveling to meet them so being there for 7 was difficult. Thankfully the driver was ok with my parents handing the car over. The driver called at 7am to say he was there. Some how he had been given the address of a local garage where the car had never been and I had to direct him to the cars location. The driver was very apologetic and not to blame in this situation. I am highly disappointed with the lack of professionalism and organisation in the company. I have wasted time off work for collections that didn't happen. I understand they hook you with a good offer but the email is incredibly dishonest and misleading. Will never use this company again.

What a waste of time. I got offers from similar companies, (there's plenty of them) all around £16.5K. This band of fools offered £7800.
Von Anfang an sind wir sehr höflich & kundenfreundlich von Herrn Mohamed Alawieh per Telefon & auch per WhatsApp kontaktiert worden . Auch noch nach den üblichen Öffnungszeiten. Der Tag der Abholung hat reibungslos funktioniert wie auch die Bezahlung . Gerne wieder .
Sold my non-runner to cashforcars.co.uk (which is actually a company called Copart Co no 929621 based in MK43 9EJ). They sent the driver on the agreed date and he helpfully phoned on arrival. I phoned the call centre to ensure the payment was made before the car was taken away. Overall a successful sale. The call centre team were helpful and friendly. They could have made it easier by the call centre phoning me at the time of the pick up and confirming that the payment was going through rather than me phoning their call centre and the driver . However, overall they were helpful and responsive and the sale was successful. They use feefo for reviews normally but I think a TrustPilot review could be helpful too.
Cash for cars flagged my last review so that shows me they know how bad they suck its true you rip people off you give a quote then send drivers out w different amounts to pay at a lower price even with a confirmation number rip off company
Wenn ich- Sterne geben könnte, würde ich das tun.. frech kommt weiter sagt man manchmal aber die Angebote dieses Händlers sind alles andere als Realistisch. Das man bei solchen Portalen weniger bekommt ok, weiß jeder, aber unser Angebot ist so frech, das muss ich hier mitteilen. Wir verkaufen ein Liebhaberstück Opel OPC Kombi. Knapp 160.000 km runter, Tip Top und alles an Sonderausstattung was das Herz begehrt. Wertermittlung ca 10.000€. Und nun das beste. Das Angebot von CashforCars waren 1.300€🤣🤣🤣🤣 das hab ich noch nicht erlebt. Mit solchen Angeboten macht ihr euch mehr als lächerlich!!!!
Am 13.11. habe ich online meinen 14jährigen Twingo wegen Motorschaden (Zahnriemenriss) bei Cashforcars zum Verkauf angefragt. Online wurden mir als erstes Angebot 380€ angeboten und nach sehr rascher Rückmeldung einer freundlichen Sachbearbeiterin habe ich über Whatsapp noch Bilder nachgereicht und weitere Informationen angegeben. Innerhalb von 10min habe ich ein Angebot über 200€ erhalten und auch zugesagt, da ich bei örtlichen Händlern teilweise nur noch 30€ erhalten hätte. Der Vertrag kam prompt und konnte ganz einfach von mir bestätigt werden. Am selben Tag wurde ich dann noch wegen Terminabstimmung angerufen und wir haben uns auf heute den 19.11. geeinigt. Der früheste Termin wäre der 18. gewesen, was wirklich sehr schnell ist. Der Fahrer rief mich dann heute, wie vereinbart, eine Stunde vorher an und nochmals 10 min vor Ankunft. Er ist ein sehr netter Fahrer gewesen und hat alles sehr schnell und freundlich abgewickelt. Während ich ihm alles übergeben habe, waren auch schon die 200€ auf meinem Konto. Ich bin sehr glücklich und zufrieden, dass es so reibungslos geklappt hat. Ein Riesendank an alle Beteiligten. Ich hatte somit keinen Aufwand mehr und musste nur noch online mein Auto abmelden, was zum Glück auch super einfach ging. Selbst dieser Service wurde mit 35€ angeboten, aber dadurch, dass alles online heutzutage möglich ist, habe ich es selbst in die Hände genommen und nur 2,70€ an das Amt gezahlt ;-)
They advertise "FREE" collection anywhere in the UK. Untrue. My initial offer was cut in half. I accepted the lower offer and they organised collection from me. I was then informed that as my address was "unusual" I needed to pay them an extra £300 for collection. So, no FREE collection. Why claim to collect for free and then attempt to charge for collection?? Sold elsewhere.
Es hat alles reibungslos geklappt! Wir sind sehr zufrieden 👍🏻 Innerhalb von 1 Woche haben wir unser KFZ verkauft!
Es war alles ganz einfach. Der Verkauf ging schnell toller Preis inkl abschleppen und Abmeldung. Der Herr Sobig war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch der Fahrer vom abschleppwagen war schnell und freundlich. Kann ich nur empfehlen.
Sehr schnelle Bearbeitung,nette Mitarbeiter,faires Angebot,Geld durch direkt Überweisung sofort vor Abholung erhalten,Abholung funktionierte einwandfrei,jederzeit wieder.
I messaged a bunch if scrap yards looking to get rid of my old car, they were the only ones that got back to me. They made the process easy despite me running into unrelated roadblocks that delayed the pickup date. They gave a guaranteed offer, and came to tow away my old car. Overall a good experience.
Offered me £200 for a £4000 BMW ha ha ha! Priceless (or not?)
Habe mich damals wegen Corona und Selbständigkeit auf das Angebot eingelassen. Habe mein Auto Mazda CX 5 an denen vorläufig Verkauft und von denen für einen Mietpreis 660,-€ monatlich gemietet. Das ganze sollte zur Überbrückung dienen um erstmal aus der Corona-Krise rauszukommen. Wollte ihn eigentlich ganz normal wieder zurück kaufen jedoch kam die zweite Corona Welle. Meine Aufträge wurden alle stillgelegt, keine Soforthilfen etc. konnte dann auf einmal die Miete nicht bezahlen, 14 Tage überfällig und schon standen die mit Anhänger vor meiner hofeinfahrt und sperrten ein und Ausfahrt und nahmen mein Auto mit. Wert Auto damals 18.000 € an denen Verkauft für 8000,-€ + Miete 7 x 660,-€ und kein Auto mehr, weil ich dank Corona, den Auftraggebern kein Geldeingang mehr hatte. Die Firma und Pfando haben sich massiv bereichert an dieser Krise und Not jeden einzelnen!!!! Lasst die Finger weg ! Das sind Betrüger !!!
Ich bin zufällig auf cash for cars gestoßen und kann nur ein positives Feedback geben: freundliche und kompetente Mitarbeiterin an der Hotline, Zusendung des nicht zu beanstandenden Kaufvertrags, zeitnahe Zusendung der Abmeldebestätigung. Lediglich bei der Überweisung des Kaufpreises gab es eine - für mich vernachlässigbare bzw. dann auch zufriedenstellend gelöste kleine Panne: mir war gesagt worden, dass das Geld per Sofortüberweisung 2min nach Abholung auf dem Konto ist. Naja, wir müssen es ja nicht übertreiben...aber als es nach einem Tag nicht da war schrieb ich eine Mail und bat um Klärung. Es kam eine Antwortmail mit Entschuldigung und nach ca. einer Stunde war das Geld auf dem Konto.
