The fact this thread was created by you confirms you are so stupid you are not sure if its a scam or not.

Ok I will retort in kind

Indeed, there are companies that buy cars, but you don't have to be primary school educated to see from the convenient name association and unsolicited contact that it is a blatant scam. FFS I'd be embarrassed to ask the question ..... twice

Have you even googled www.new-autotrader.com ? It's a PO BOX admin fee based fleecing operation from what I can see.

But hey what do I know, maybe I should start a thread on how to wipe my ****

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me"...

Shame on you

It's just banter mate, but you have to admit the face palm is justified for the shear naivety and laziness for the sake of a 5 second google

Long story short. Never heard of them, website looks dodgy, paying anyone to sell your own car doesn't make sense. Don't bother.

Honestly, did you really have to ask? Open your eyes! Everyone is taking the **** due to how blatantly obvious the answer to your question is.

Yes, it's a scam!

I always wondered what idiots fell for these scams........
Next up an email from a Nigerian King that wants to buy your car! Is it genuine?

I have to pay a £75 refundable deposit to book the appointment,they have said they will collect the car and pay cash. anyone ever heard of them?,i cant find any info on the web about them,and don't fancy paying £75 to find out either.
any info would be a great help...
A company called listmycar.co (not listmycar.co.uk which is free) is charging £50 for an appointment, must be a scam as they won't respond to my questions and their based in Alicante, Spain !!

Fail, was good banter this thread, and you weren't missed I think you need to offer your services to 99flake though
