Autovertical Avis 

This is a scam website where fake potential car buyers ask you to purchase a check on this site. They quiz you about your car with a load of typical questions, you think you have an interested buyer. They then ask you to buy a premium report, insiiting they will pay. Simple rule - if you are selling a car, its their responsibility to buy a report as the purchaser, not the sellers. This website is clearly dodgy as it claims to only give reports to sellers - this is clearly nto right. Google the address where the site is registered (physical address) and you will see plenty of similar sites, out for the same thing. Autotrader need to put a stop to this. Also, just call the interested party - you will find they never answer the phone (if the number even works)

⚠️ BE CAREFUL – MY EXPERIENCE WITH AUTOVERTICAL

I would strongly advise anyone selling a car to be extremely careful when someone asks you to purchase an AutoVertical vehicle report before they are willing to view or buy your car.

In my experience, the process felt very suspicious. I was asked to purchase a report from AutoVertical, and after paying for the report, I was then encouraged to purchase a more expensive Premium Report.

What makes the situation even more concerning is that after the Premium Report was purchased, the communication with the person who originally requested the report suddenly stopped.

This makes me question whether some people may be using this system to persuade private sellers to spend money on reports they don't actually need, rather than having a genuine interest in purchasing the vehicle.

I have already paid for reports in situations like this and received little or no useful information beyond information that could be obtained elsewhere.

My advice to other private sellers: if a potential buyer insists that you purchase a specific vehicle report from a particular website before they will proceed, be very cautious. A genuine buyer should not need to manipulate you into paying for an unnecessary report.

I personally would not recommend spending money on AutoVertical reports when the request comes from a potential buyer, especially if they insist on a Premium Report.

Please do your own research before paying for anything.

Just been asked(pressure) to do an Auto Vertical search on my vehicle by a potential buyer. Didn't give anything but my reg. The website is clearly poor at best, scam at worst.
Loads of spelling errors, high prices, 3x as much as getting a genuine hpi check. Do not give your information to this website!!!

Scam!!!

Stay away
