I’m personally not a fan of buying cars unseen. Photos never tell the full story small scratches, worn seats, that kind of thing but with companies offering 10 days inspection guarantees, it’s less risky now than it used to be. At least you’ve got time to make sure everything checks out.

Does anyone know if Calkill Transport still takes card payments, or is it bank transfer only? I’d rather use a credit card for the extra protection.

When I bought my Golf, they said they’d stopped taking cards for car purchases because of chargeback fraud. Apparently, they had a few cases where people paid, started the delivery process, then claimed the payment wasn’t authorised while it was already en route.

Now they only accept bank transfers into their segregated account, which stays on hold until you confirm you’re happy with the car.

I had mine checked after a few days, then called to confirm easy process, no issues.

That’s good to know, thanks for the info Will, I might check their listings later this week those prices for repo cars are tempting.
