My cars in autotrader at the moment. I just had a motor company calling saying that they have customers who would be interested in buying my car for £150 less than what its up 4. I have to pay them £80 and they give the customers the detals and my number.
Are these bullsh*tters or is this a good way of selling a car?

Don't do it, once you hand over the £80 you'll never hear from them again. Acouple of my mates have had dodgy experiances with companies claiming the same.

yeah dont bother, I had it all the time when my car was in auto trader.

Just ask them next time if auto trader gave them permission to ring you....They'll soon hang up.

had this about six times while mine was in there.
started off listening then declining politely, moved onto saying i wasn't interested and that i was gona hang up, then just started hanging up as soon as i realised what it was.

pretty sure its a scam. probably quite a good way of making money tho.
i may start up a similar agency come to think of it

Yeah Data Car thats the people who my mate went with and never heard from them again. When he rang up they just took the piss and put him on hold, ignored his emails and letters eventually went to see Citizens Advice and I never did find out what happened after that
