    Did anyone just hear Derek Davis on RTE Liveline doing a report on the UK Vehicle Center?

    What a complete joke - he had no research done and basically promoted them! It took him 10 mins to calculate how much they were charging in euros and then said "Well you have to take what they say in good faith"

    When someone phoned in they said they'd paid these guys and got nothing back so got his money back from his credit card company Derek asked "What car do you have" and the reply was "a mazda 323" to which Derek replied "Well that's a high performance car so it's wont sell fast anyway"

    Eh Derek hello.... 1 google search and you'll find out they're scammers, what a report.. everyone should mail him with their comments and experiences. I would have thought as a reporter he should actually be reporting on what these guys are doing!

    God just what irish car sellers didnt need. Its a well known fact its a scam.
    Carzone and cbg warn customers about them and as far as i know there
    is some EU investigation ongoing. Fortunatley when they call their numbers
    arent blocked so you can hang up and eventually they give up!

    Buy and Sell also warn people, although it's not that prominent. http://support.buyandsell.ie/index.php?_a=knowledgebase&_j=questiondetails&_i=88
