Notef Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 Evening all Found a VW T-Roc on eBay that it's listed by Killeavy Transport and I'm seriously considering it. Price is a fair bit lower than the others I've been looking at and apparently sold through an auction which is why it's cheaper... They mentioned something about a segregated business account for the money. Not really bought a car this way before so thought I'd ask on here first Anyone actually used them?

MagicPod Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 Never heard of them Rob wouldn't be sending any money until I'd done a bit of digging though. Some of these cheap car adverts are an absolute minefield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitxx Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 Can you go and look at it? I'd ask that before anything else and if they start saying it's in secure storage or can't be viewed for whatever reason I'd be off, too many people getting caught out with this stuff lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosaStyle Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 Had a nose around Google There's a few reviews mentioning Killeavy Transport for transport work. The company background says they've been around since 2023 doing haulage and that sort of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finestey Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 Bank transfer upfront for a car you've never seen? I know some companies sell online now and deliver to your door but I'd want to know exactly who I'm paying and what happens if the car doesn't turn up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talentrews Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 I bought a Nissan X-Trail Tekna through them back in November in this story. Was a repo as well the car arrived in really nice condition to be fair They gave me 14 days to check it over so I took it down to the Nissan place near me in Nottingham. They went through it and couldn't find anything worth worrying about Rang the company the next day and told them I was keeping it That was my experience anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barringer Posted April 21, 2025 Share Posted April 21, 2025 Mine was a Volvo V60 R Design just before Christmas. Bit of a wait getting it delivered. Was told about a week but ended up being 10 days I was the same as you Rob with the payment. Didn't particularly like the idea of transferring that sort of money before seeing anything Spoke to them a few times on the phone and they explained their separate account arrangement. Said the money wasn't released until I confirmed I was happy with the car I didn't independently verify how that worked so wouldn't tell anyone to rely on it without checking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notef Posted April 22, 2025 Author Share Posted April 22, 2025 Cheers everyone had another chat with them and decided I'm going ahead, waiting for the invoice now. They've answered my emails pretty quickly so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accomis Posted April 22, 2025 Share Posted April 22, 2025 Interesting seeing this mentioned here in the background for this discussion I worked in their accounts department before moving to Manchester last autumn. The repossessed cars were a newer part of the business. Started around summer 2024 if I remember right, they were getting vehicles from finance auctions and selling them on. The idea behind the segregated payment account and return period was to make people more comfortable buying remotely. Obviously anyone buying should still check the details themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HushedGamer Posted April 22, 2025 Share Posted April 22, 2025 Hi, Was looking at a Skoda Karoq SE L on eBay earlier and the seller name rang a bell when I saw this thread. Thought the price looked a bit suspicious at first. Might give them a ring tomorrow and see what they say Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notef Posted April 23, 2025 Author Share Posted April 23, 2025 Little update... Paid for the Tiguan yesterday and got an email this afternoon with an estimated delivery time of 6 days Nothing else to report really. Just waiting now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notef Posted April 29, 2025 Author Share Posted April 29, 2025 It's here! Driver dropped it off earlier today first thing I did was have a good look round it. Interior is very clean and the bodywork looks decent too Got the V5C MOT paperwork and service records with it. Booked in with my mechanic so we'll see what he says but at the moment I'm pretty pleased Was starting to worry for a while there lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finestey Posted April 29, 2025 Share Posted April 29, 2025 Well I'll eat my words then Rob haha ... glad it's turned up mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notef Posted April 30, 2025 Author Share Posted April 30, 2025 no worries mate I was having the same doubts myself and mechanic's had a look and couldn't find anything serious. Took it out for a decent drive afterwards and it feels great Still can't quite believe I bought a car without seeing it first Anyway all sorted now. Thanks for the advice everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
