Car matching schemes are bogus calls which sellers may receive from companies claiming they have a number of buyers interested in your vehicle. For a 'small' fee these companies offer to introduce you to these potential buyers. Although a number of legitimate companies do exist that provide this service, it is more likely than not that should you receive such a call - it is a scam.

Never engage in a conversation with any company with claims to have a potential buyer for your vehicle and put the phone down immediately.

       
At MidlandMotors.ie we advertised a 2000 Hyundai Accent in one of Irelands leading car sales magazines and received 2 such phonecalls. Both calls received were from English landline based numbers and both claimed to have potential buyers lined up for our vehicle. We were informed that the fee to be introduced to these customers was €90 in both cases. In the first case we informed the company that the vehicle had been sold and in the second case we feigned a little interest and found that quite quickly we were being talked into giving our credit card details over the phone! We found the representative to be quite persistent and when we finally managed to end the call, we received a further two calls that same week from the same company.
       
  Remember  
 
MidlandMotors.ie does not engage any company to match buyers with sellers on our behalf.
   
MidlandMotors.ie will not contact you by telephone. In the unlikely event that we ever do, our representative will prove our identity by first confirming your username and password with you.
   
Should a company contact you claiming to be, or have any relationship to MidlandMotors.ie please end the call and contact our support team immediately.
