GB Car Buyer question

[AFA82]

Hi guys and gals,

I am in the process of selling my car, a 2004 Vectra GSi, and I have been contacted by GB Car Buyer offering 2,000 pounds for it.

Has anybody had anything to do with these kind of companies?
The reason I ask is that they want 50 pounds upfront to come out and evaluate the car and if everything is ok, they buy it for the internet quote price they sent me earlier.
Apparently they refund the 50 pounds on arrival.

Cheers

That sounds similar to the We Buy Any Car... they NEVER give you what they initially offer! They will visit and rip your car apart... They will knock money off for every little mark regardless of how tiny it is!

give me £50 and I will evaluate your car

where's some companies like this on watchdog recently? Like chunk says, they will rip your car to bits on any little mark and try and rob you.
