If it really is a dealer, why is every car photo taken in a different location?

Looks a tad iffy.

I actually bought my last car from there! It was an E46 320Ci M-Sport. Since then it has changed from a multi-car generic sales site to a SsanYong specialist/dealer. In all honesty, I bought the BMW there and paid under the odds, and kicked up a bit of a fuss as car needed a few bits doing to it (couple of tyres, pressure sensors, nowt you wouldn't expect from a 2nd hand car), and they did actually do all the work for me. Took me a couple of weeks to sort, but hey ho.

I think some of the people there don't really appreciate the accuracy of valuing vehicles there, as I saw some from both ends of the spectrum (over priced and under priced). They even had a Tiger and another kit car for sale in there.

I wouldn't say they were scammers in there at all, but as with everything, down to the individual person to go and have a look at any vehicle they intend to buy and make up their own mind!


PS - I have no affiliation to WVS aside from the fact I bought my car there and am having it serviced there next week (part of the agreement when we purchased it), just don't like seeing people dragged through the mud without accurate information being offered first.

The obvious bit to me is that it isnt even an ebay page... looks like its a fake page set up to look like ebay
I'm logged into ebay now, yet this page doesnt show me as logged in, they look nothing alike

Sorry, yes it wasnt to suggest Withams wrer the issue in their own right.
All the cars, have different contact numbers on them and as said, details probably lifted from others , but then presumably made to look affiliated or part of Withams.

Quite scary really when you consider how many scams and angles there are these days to part you with your'e hard earned....i'm paranoid now when buying or selling anything from strangers....seems every bugger is out to rip you off.

Obviously much easier than actually working for a living.
