website: http://www.firstchoiceautofinder.com

I got a call from a person that works for this website. I was told I can list my car on their website for $200 dollars and they will help find potential buyers and help them do the finances as well.

Anybody have a review on this website? any good?

It's probably a scam. Do you have your car listed for sale anywhere else?

I got a similar call when I listed on autotrader saying they'd find me a buyer. They were charging $150.

It is a scam. Pure and simple. Nobody visits these sites, and you will not sell your car through it.

Your wallet, however, WILL be lightened by $200.

Listed on buysell, canadatrader.com, kijiji.

In the end did they find you a buyer? it sounds like a scam and their website isn't really that professional looking.

I never even heard of their website before and they expect me to use their service?

No I never listed with them because I knew it was a scam and their site looked really unprofessional.

They told me they found my number off autotrader, so chances are they found yours the same way. If you've advertised on those 3 sites, you've got the bulk of the market covered and should be getting sufficient exposure.

Never heard of them.

First thing that comes to mind is First Choice Haircutters chain.

SCAM!

If you have never heard of them and have to put money up front, it's a SCAM. No matter how they sweet talk you, telling you it's money back guarantee etc.

Tell them to STFU and GTFO.

If you are selling your car for $20K and he says he has buyers lined up for you and all you have to do is pay $200 to advertise it, tell him to cut you a cheque for $19,800 and the car is his. (another Beyond member mentioned this and it's GOLD, the guys are speechless after LOL)

When I sold my car a few years back a similar company contacted me (probably the same a-holes just with new company name). I told them I wasn't interested, then tried to call the number they had listed. Lo and behold it was disconnected.
