CARTRADE SPECTRA AUTO MART FAKE LISTING FAKE USP FAKE PRICING DONT BE FOOLED n WASTE TIME EFFORT ON THIS WEBSITE
I read few reviews of this Cartrade .com got like its wonderful site, best to buy certified used cars with all cartrade quality checks, best deal, blah blah bhal!
Now let’s talk about ground reality checks on cartrade and its tied up dealers, I was looking for a diesel car both in pune and Mumbai, so Cartrade .com indeed returned some best price on its website, so narrowed down to few within my budget
1) Ford Fiesta Classic CLXi 1.4 TDCi(2007) @ 1, 25, 000
FUEL: Diesel KMs RUN: 42, 854Kms
OWNERS: 1 TRANSMISSION: Manual
COLOUR: Silver CITY: Mumbai
2) Skoda Fabia Active 1.2 TDI(2008) @1, 30, 000
FUEL: Diesel KMs RUN: 44, 566Kms
OWNERS: 3 TRANSMISSION: Manual
COLOUR: M.black CITY: Mumbai
3) Chevrolet Beat LS Diesel(2009) @ 1, 75, 000
FUEL: Diesel KMs RUN: 50, 247Kms
OWNERS: 1 TRANSMISSION: Manual
COLOR: Silver CITY: Mumbai
I clicked on each of these Ads and left my name number to get seller details
Spectra Auto Mart( Spectra Sells new Maruti on Exchange of your OLD cars in Mumbai)
372/374, Shiva Anasultannd Near St John School S V Road Goregaon West, Mumbai – 400062,
Mobile: 022-3354xxxx / 773815xxxx
So I tried calling spectra on these above numbers few times but no one picks up the call!
Then I got call from cartrade office from number – 022-4114xxxx /3996xxxx from some female named Jaagurti for three times in two days mentioning their USP cheap lesser price with greater benefit like 100 days free on road side assistance followed by an email mentioning appointment 13:00 hrs with dealer SPECTRA AUTO MART at Goregoan west.
As I told her I am up of this only by Monday so I went to see these cars and guess what! None of these cars even exist with this cartrade certified dealer SPECTRA AUTO MART! All of this listing are completely fake and a smart trick to make buyers visit the dealer so dealer can take shot and attempt to convert them to some other used car lying around with them.
I tried to reach out car trade numbers but no one picks up from damn phone, even that dealer tried calling but no response, so I asked dealer as you have partnered with car trade so might have some other alternative numbers that you can reach on, but they keep giving lame excuses, says we have nothing to do with cartrade, we give them listings and they put them and update on website, I told them then why you are giving them details of cars that you don’t have at first place, again they start blaming cartrade of updating wrong information details, so I asked them details they forwarded to cartrade they showed me some Excel sheet with no price put up against these cars, so understood that either deleted those price before showing it to me or they keep them blank as they are for fake listings, Once I came to know whole game this car-trade.com along with its dealers are playing with putting these fake listing to fool innocent buyers, also as I traveled all the way from Pune to Mumbai for this deal, it was total waste of time effort made me really MAD!
I also called and checked few dealers in Pune as well all prices are fake and also the details in car description is totally wrong to misguide fool buyers on this totally wasted cartrade website, for instance they mentioned diesel for petrol variant with price of petrol car, and its not just in one but in most of the Ads I checked and verified with the dealer!
After all this cartrade people keep calling me to remove this review but you can still see all those fake listings on their website, this worst experience has made my trust level zero for cartrade.com with their fake USP quality check certification, car papers, great benefit, actual car usage, different models and brands, getting a idea of price and lots more, BELIEVE ME OR NOT THIS IS TOTALLY UNTRUSTABLE WEBSITE BUYING USED CARS! IT WILL ONLY WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME N EFFORT!
