markjay Posted August 5, 2024 Share Posted August 5, 2024 Morning all, I’ve got my eye on a 2019 Toyota RAV4 listed on Gumtree by a company called Lomassac Transport. The price is incredibly tempting, especially considering it’s advertised as a repossessed in excellent condition. They’re based in Belfast, but since I’m in Cardiff, I’d need to rely on their delivery service to get the car to me. Has anyone dealt with Lomassac before? Are they trustworthy when it comes to their listings and delivery process? I’d really appreciate any insights or advice you might have.

vitessear3 Posted August 5, 2024 Share Posted August 5, 2024 I never heard of them until now, and if is to cheap and any vendor who wants any sort of upfront payment to view a vehicle is probably a scammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doncaster34 Posted August 5, 2024 Share Posted August 5, 2024 I haven’t personally bought a car from them, but it’s always wise to proceed with caution when something seems too good to be true. I did a quick check online, and their reviews seem generally positive. Also, they’re listed on Companies House, so they appear legit. That said, if there’s any way to see the car in person, I’d recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peakroach Posted August 6, 2024 Share Posted August 6, 2024 Morning @markjay, Earlier this year, I purchased a Qashqai from Lomassac Transport. Although it was a repossessed vehicle, it arrived in excellent condition, far exceeding my expectations. They offer a 10-day inspection period, which gave me added reassurance. I had it thoroughly inspected by a mechanic the day after delivery, and everything checked out perfectly. Once I decided to keep the car, I was required to send them an email confirming my approval, as part of their process. If the car fits your needs, I’d definitely recommend giving them a go.

rab60bit88 Posted August 6, 2024 Share Posted August 6, 2024 I completely agree with @peakroach. I bought a VW polo from them last November. There was a slight delay of two days, but they kept me updated throughout. Their payment process, using a segregated account, really reassured me. The car arrived in fantastic condition, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjay Posted August 6, 2024 Author Share Posted August 6, 2024 Thanks so much for all the advice! It’s really helping me feel more confident about this. I’ve decided to move forward with the purchase. I’m waiting for the contract to arrive, and once I sign it, I’ll make the payment. I’ll update you all on how it goes!

norbury.brook Posted August 7, 2024 Share Posted August 7, 2024 Good choice, @markjay. I worked as a lorry driver at Lomassac Transport until last year before relocating for family reasons. They’re very professional, and the repossessed cars they deal with are thoroughly vetted at auctions. That 10-day money-back guarantee isn’t just for show, it’s because they stand by the quality of what they sell. You’re in safe hands.

NevoBMW320i Posted August 8, 2024 Share Posted August 8, 2024 Hi everyone, I’ve been looking at a 2020 Kia Sportage listed on eBay, but I’ve been on the fence because the price seemed unusually low. Reading through your experiences has really helped me feel more reassured about taking the plunge. Thanks for sharing your stories, it’s really helped put my mind at ease.

markjay Posted August 9, 2024 Author Share Posted August 9, 2024 Update: I made the payment yesterday and got an email confirming the delivery process has started. They said the car should be here in about six days. Fingers crossed everything goes as smoothly as it has for the rest of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjay Posted August 15, 2024 Author Share Posted August 15, 2024 The RAV4 arrived this afternoon! The driver was very professional and gave me a call about 30 minutes before arriving, which was a nice touch. The car looks immaculate, even better than in the photos. They provided all the paperwork, including the V5 and full service history. So far, I couldn’t be happier. Thanks for all the reassurance, everyone!

markjay Posted August 16, 2024 Author Share Posted August 16, 2024 The car is running perfectly, and I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made. It’s been a great experience, and I’m genuinely pleased with how everything turned out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
