Scam Responses

Placed an ad this morning.

So far I've had a telephone call from a scammer trying to get me to purchase a report from a website called hpiinfo in return for them to pay full price. A quick search showed this to be a known scam.

Then 3 email inquiries from scammers also offering to buy my car for the full price. The caveat being that this time I had to get a report from a website called wheelsdecoder - another known scam site.

I have an ad in carzone and no such issues.

A message to carsireland - do something about this issue as these lowlifes are clearly using your portal to scam people.

Hi Aidan,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We’re sorry to hear about the difficulty you experienced when trying to place your ad.

To clarify, our €15 standard ad package is available to all customers and does not require any upgrades. The Cartell.ie and Carzone upgrades shown during the process are entirely optional, and CarsIreland is not affiliated with or integrated with Adverts.ie.

We appreciate that the options presented during the ad-placement process may have caused confusion, and we’d be happy to help you place a €15 standard ad if you would still like to advertise with us. Please contact our Customer Support team at customersupport@carsireland.ie and we’ll be happy to assist.

Kind regards,
CarsIreland Team

Customer service reps very competent…

Customer service reps very competent and calls answered very quickly. CarsIreland itself is terrible. Won't upload certain images and randomly deletes images already uploaded when trying to place them in a professional looking order. I have requested a full refund as ive just lost 45mins of my life I wont get back. Disappointing

Very pleasant company to deal with

Very pleasant company to deal with. Aoife has always gone over and beyond for us in everything we have asked for. Our new website is absolutely fantastic. I want to thank Dave, Aoife and all the team at CarsIreland for all the support over the past 10 years. Here is to another 10 years ! From all the gang in D Canny Car Sales.

Disappointing Experience

Just going to echo a similar experience to some of the other reviews. Reached out about a car and trading in my own, friendly guy got back to me after the weekend and took all the details of my car; reg, mileage etc. then never heard from them again.

Reached out twice including an email just asking they weren't interested so I could start looking elsewhere but nothing. Just felt disrespectful to be honest.

I can’t recommend enough

I can’t recommend enough. James was brilliant. He replied to my email quickly and He got me sorted out with the car dealer with lead to a sale. Would definitely use this site again.

Hi,

We are sorry to hear about this. I can assure you that the dealers/sellers are notified as soon as an enquiry is made. We always do our best to encourage dealers/sellers to act on these enquiries as swiftly as possible but unfortunately that's as far as we can take it.

If you'd like to pass on the information of the dealer you've been trying to contact, I can get in touch with them on your behalf?

You can send me the info here: james.murray@carsireland.ie

Kind regards,
