I put my car on autotrader - and cardata have called me asking for £100.00 to advertise my vehicle - they say they can guarantee its sale and the return of my deposit!!!!! Ive read however that they have been feature on watchdog? anyone any advice?

Please Paul be a superhero today.... and do not risk parting with your hard earned cash, any sites that have to canvass touting for trade in this way, are not to be trusted. !

Only advertise it through well known trusted and reputable sources.

Tell them you're only willing to try them if they secure a sale of your car first with no fee, then bill you later once the car has been sold. !!!

If they are that confident about keeping their words of guarantee & finding you a buyer, they should jump at your offer......Shouldn't they. ???

SHP - Hi,

Never heard of them but I suspect it's a similar operation to the one featured in this old thread...

You gotta tie yourself to the mast my friend, and the storm will end.

Look at their website www.cardata.co.uk the full terms and conditions are there, they advertise the vehicle until sold for 1 fee and they say they will refund the fee if the buyer takes finance through their service.

Its a free service if you are looking to buy a vehicle and you'll be sent details by email or post.

They have been going for over 25 years - that's longer than autotrader!!!
