Question Anyone Used Lloyds Car Select

To buy a new car?

I'm very wary of the condition that I pay for the car 10 days before I see it!!

But, the prices seem pretty attractive ...

Why should that condition cause a problem though, apart from having to wait for the car.

Because - if the company goes bust I have lost my money - and have no car!

I want to see the car in front of me and then hand over the moeny.

Based on the above I'd say go for it Pete. We'll look forward to another 20 page thread about how you took them to court to get your money back

Thats one way of looking at it, but do you really think they might go to the wall?

I imagine they have to wait after ordering the car but want to make interest on your cash while they are waiting!

Not going to miss a trick I suppose.

There is no way any legitimate company would require anything more than a decent deposit to order you car. The balance is paid when you have the keys and paperwork in your hand.

Look for the many complaints about their BlackHorse car financing arm if you want more information. Shoddy business practices to say the least (i.e. mis selling PPI etc.)

Black horse is like any other loans company. If you pay up monthly then no problem. Its when people don't pay they get problems and get their cars repoed.

I would not trust them any more than any of the others for sure.
