Anyone buy from these or know anything about them?

Looks just like another one of those UK car sourcing setups that you see advertising. Nothing really new in this, most of what they are offering can be done by yourself if you really wanted to. Your obviously going to be paying for the convenience of someone else doing the legwork.

The thing to watch here is that these crowds take a deposit on any car before they bring it over from the UK. Now that's fair enough as it costs them money to buy it and then get it here but just be aware that your basically putting a largely non refundable significant deposit on a car you haven't even seen not to mind test drove.

Also, from their website;

Let us find and check your car
Pay a deposit
Collect your car from Dublin and drive off into the sunset

Do you get to test it beforehand? If there are any issues, do you have any comeback? It states a warranty, but doesn't state what that covers, and also I'd assume you'd need to transport the car to them for them to look at it? Do they have a garage to do so in Dublin?

Also

All our cars are not in Dublin but any car you want can be at our collection center within 5-10 working days.

The price showing does not include VRT unless otherwise stated.

As an agency we act as a broker between trade sellers in the UK and you, the Irish public.

So it seems all/most of the cars will be from the UK.

Well my husband went & had a look. No garage & not surprising....no service history. He was emailed a "service history". Essentially an a4 sheet.
So we ended up buying from O'Hara cars, who have been a pleasure to deal with so far. Will collect it this week!!

Bought a car off them back in March and all was looking good, happy with the car. The way they work is a price is agreed for the car (say 20,000) but you have to pay the VRT so they calculate the VRT and take it off the price you pay them (say VRT is 1000 so paid them 19,000).
When I went to pay the VRT it was actually 1200 which I thought was fine I will just get the 200 back off wefindanycar.ie (I specifically said to the fella I was dealing with when paying for the car what happens if VRT is different to what he calculated. He said no problem they would then pay difference).

So rang the fella and explained the problem. He said no problem and would get on to the office. Never heard anything then from him, I repeatedly called him for a week or two and got no answer. Then rang from my landline and he answered and said he didn't work for them anymore! Ridiculous nonsense.

Called the office then and same issue of fobbing me off. No explanation just we will get so so to ring you back.

So I wouldn't like to be in the situation with a real problem with the car as from my experience you will be ignored. Once they are paid you are on your own!
