SCAM BUSINESS

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

When we signed the contract with this company, everything went very well. They took our money instantly and opened our account.

We didn't use the carsforsale.com account for 2 weeks. The moment we loaded the first car, we got a call that we had to change our phone number associated with DMV in order to continue the collaboration. I called the DMV, changed the number as they wanted and the DMV told me it takes up to 30 days for the changes to take effect. I told carsforsale.com about this.

Also, since this was not an eliminating criterion in dealing with them, I asked for this deal to be shut down, because they have hidden terms, so they can take people's money without offering anything. Since that time no one from there has returned my phone calls or emails. Our case is already on the attention of the Colorado police and the FBI.

My mistake was that I wanted to work with a provider that has a 1.6 rating. I didn't check first.

NO ONE REPLIES

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I or my associates have inquired about 8+ different trucks with Cars for sale. No one reply. Thus, we tried to send a nice email to Car for sale asking them what are the problems with their "SELLERS" as we are a good faith potential " BUYER." ..but no one replies. We can't get any information regarding the vehicles being offered for sale. In the process, we discovered the CARS FOR SALE website is completely screwed up. We can not send any correspondence to them on their webpage... nor do they have a direct email address. They keep sending us emails saying a price drop on a vehicle we asked about but NO ONE will reply to anything.

Original review Oct 04, 2019
I took a half day off to go buy this truck and when I got there yesterday I was told it sold 2 days ago. Not good. I don't live anywhere near the car lot. If I ever see another add from Carsforsale.com, I will immediately delete it.

Subscription Scam for Dealers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
We got a call from a Carsforsale rep offering a 90 day trial of their site. Naturally, he needed a credit card and I succinctly ask the rep that I would not receive a charge to feed their subscription annuity. "Absolutely not just this one charge and it will end without any automatic monthly charges without my approval".... Guess what...I see a 99.99 charge on my statement and promptly called Carsforsale accounting and got the classic runaround that I had to "notify them to cancel" 4 days ago. I let them know I'd reverse the charge and the rep basically challenged me saying "we see these challenges all the time and it won't work". Management needs to give their reps some additional training like "yes sir, how about you paying 4 of 30 days of this subscription v. alienating me and anyone I can talk to in the future. So, off to the credit card company and see who prevails on this 99.99. DrivenMotos

Customer DISSERVICE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
If you are looking for someone to assist you, this is the WRONG place to go. You are treated like a drop in a very large bucket; they don't listen, are not helpful, always are condescending and rude. RUN, RUN, RUN - there are so many great providers, this is THE WORST MANAGED BUSINESS I HAVE EVER SEEN. We took our website business elsewhere (where we get great customer service), however in trying to incorporate our "old" information, we were given the run around, multiple times, talked to a guy named "Kurt" today who couldn't have cared less about us/our business.
