All Activity

This evening the vehicle was delivered. I have scheduled an inspection with my local specialist tomorrow morning to ensure a comprehensive assessment however my initial impressions are exceptional. I am grateful to all of you for assisting in calming my anxiety.

well, my Skoda's gone. Someone reserved it before I could make my mind up... Absolutely gutted! I've now asked them to notify me if another one comes into stock.

Best of luck! Make sure you get an independent inspection once it arrives even if everything looks perfect. That's exactly what I did with my Sportage from them. No issues found, but it gave me peace of mind.

After another conversation with their team today, I've decided to move forward and paid the reservation amount of 1k this afternoon. Zolee Logistics confirmed delivery scheduling should begin within the next couple of days and then I'll receive the remaining balance request. Now the waiting starts.

I was very close to reserving a repo Q7 they had recently. Unfortunately somebody else beat me to it, the guy I spoke with explained that they can't hold vehicles without a formal reservation because some stock receives dozens of enquiries.

Yes I did by bank transfer.

did any of you pay the full amount upfront? that's the bit I'm struggling with.

Hi all, People should keep in mind that there are frauds in this industry, so nobody should assume that every company is like this one and that, based on the evaluations I've seen, they are legitimate. However, please don't assume everything by giving! Compared to other businesses I've seen, Zolee Logistics seems to have a much greater online presence.

Thank you to everyone who responded. To be honest, I didn't anticipate that many replies. I feel less anxious about it the more I read.

@WolfieBase I felt exactly the same. I pruchased a '18 BMW X3 from Zolee Logistics back in Nov. The segregated account arrangement was what convinced me and the money remains protected until you've received the vehicle, inspected it and confirmed you're satisfied during the 14-day inspection period. That made me considerably more comfortable.

currently looking at a Skoda Kodiaq they've got listed the upfront payment is the only thing making me hesitate.

I nearly purchased a Lexus NX300h through them earlier this year but I didn't go ahead in the end because I found something locally, I will say their customer service was surprisingly relaxed with no pressure tactics, no endless phone calls chasing me. Actually felt more like speaking with a logistics coordinator than a car salesperson :))

@rab60bit88 that was one of the first questions I asked Zolee Logistics explained that many vehicles come directly from finance recoveries auctions rather than traditional dealer stock and some have been sitting in storage compounds for a while and banks simply want them sold

I'm probably the sceptical one here. How can these vehicles be thousands cheaper than dealer stock? Surely there must be some downside? Not criticising, genuinely asking.

My partner works in logistics and knew about Zolee Logistics long before they started selling vehicles. They're fairly well known around Belfast from what I understand , he vehicle side seems relatively new compared with the transport side.

Hi, I went ahead and snagged myself a 2021 Kia Sportage GT-Line from them just last month. At first I thought it seemed a bit fishy too and I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop Zolee Logistics sent over copies of the registration documents, and photos from their warehouse before I put my money where my mouth is The vehicle showed up right on the dot, eight days later, like clockwork No issues whatsoever!

Morning mate, never bought a vehicle from them personally, but I've heard of Zolee Logistics for years through the freight industry

Been browsing Ebay for a replacement vehicle and came across a Merc GLC 220d that was posted by Zolee Logistics in Belfast. I am curious as to whether there is a scam as the asking price is attractive. According to the information I have gathered from their website they maintain a repossessed vehicle division in addition to their transport and cargo operations. To be honest I'm intrigued, but I'm also a bit wary, has anyone previously interacted with Zolee Logistics?

I got mine upgraded today I am very pleased of it, so there is nothing to say more!

Opie Oils says my vehicle requires 5w-30 oil.

On subsequent generations of vehicles, including yours, FE oil has superseded LL04. Simply enter your vehicle's model on the Opie Oils website, and the system will provide results tailored to your vehicle.

Have you consulted your owner's handbook? The most popular oil for BMWs is 5w-30 LL-04. Hopefully, it will tell you that. Do not employ AI for critical choices (or anything else, really) under any circumstances; doing so will render your guarantee null and useless.

Hi there! My 2020 BMW X3 xDrive30e Hybrid (VIN: WBATS110709D47624) has 130,000 km on the odometer and needs an oil change. The issue is that I am confused and can't decide. There is a lot of disagreement online, and when I attempted to utilise AI to help me decide between the two oils, it offered me conflicting advice: Choose between 1000 millilitres of BMW TwinPower Turbo LL-17 FE+ 0W-20 Engine Oil and 5W-30 LL-04 Engine Oil, both made by BMW.

I changed my previous post from 900 to 99 since, although the 900 could be the more palatable ordinary classic, the 99 was the original from the niche (and turbo laaaaaaaaaag).

I've searched high and low for a 5 door 900 turbo, but there isn't a single one that is in decent condition. I was overly enthusiastic when I was younger, and there wasn't enough support to perform a complete "Ford" type restoration. There are a lot of convertibles out there, but they don't represent the car's true essence.
