Good day all users of adesa

Good day all users of adesa
Here my opinion about the company's customer satisfaction policy
Bought car
Electric vehicle
Pictures show original charger and original cable type 2
When car arrive nothing was in the trunk
So Adesa said that pictures are only to show you but is not required to be inside when you have it
So be careful when you buy...

I have contacted the Oklahoma attorney general

Run do not fall for their bs! If you take your auto there for CARBIYERSUSA to be inspected for them to make an offer it’s gone forever! This is robbery of a 100 disabled veteran!

They manipulate the auction

They manipulate the auction
The auction was set to finish at 8:30h and they have something (weird) "Extra time" that they may postpone the ending time for some minutes more. The FAQ gives you a set of rules very clear and objective, but when you are online they do all sorts of manipulation of this extra time, maybe to increase the value or to wait for some friend make their bidding and win the auction.
I don't know what their game is. But I wont go there anymore.

KM FRAUD COMPANY

Complete scammers and WORST AUCTION PLACE ON EARTH.

I bought a car with 140.000KM and took it to the dealer, SURPRISE, IT HAS 250.000KM, AND ADESA TAKES 0 RESPONSABILITY. SO WAITING FOR THE COURT VIEWING. BUNCH OF PIRATES.

Worst auction site

Cars are not inspected.
Expensive cars compared to market price.
Most of won auctions get declined and reauctioned several times.
Given details of cars do not match product.
Poor claims management.

Adesa promotes false information

Adesa promotes false information. Its a dishonest scheme. After making the claim they closed it with no explanation and stoped communicating.
Problems with car: Water pump broken. Rear window motor broken. Leather seats in different condition as described etc. Also the car has different milage as they described.
Be careful!!!

Cheaters like almost all those who sell…

Cheaters like almost all those who sell cars online, think they are smarter than others, they get paid in advance and when you pay for something first you are not well served because then those who took the money don't give a damn about everything, you read it if they do them all in their favor inside the company but they are worth nothing in real life because they are ridiculous, a company that does not have car insurance in storage or during transport is unprofessional, very slow in document procedures and slow in transport , purchased mini cooper one according to the auction only with a few scratches and arrived with bonnet emblem removed with screwdriver with broken mirror scraper broken rear light and chipped windshield to be replaced already asked for a quote, the aforementioned gentlemen will not refund you if they can be called in this way nothing you must necessarily put a lawyer, I have to lose all this money from my earnings on a car paid for healthy and broken receipt, if you need photos or other with tattatemi I'll show you, Manzari Automobili

Avoid ADESA.EU - Scam

1. Bought a car that was described as engine damage, but the car had fire damage in the engine bay, and under the front seats of the vehicle, therefore the car was a totalled one. The value of the car was less than half than what i paid for it.

2. Called ADESA, they said that they are not taking any responsibility for what happened and if the vehicle was described as damaged, than i will take full responsibility for what i bought, and nothing is going to happen to the seller and i`m not going to get reimbursed.

3. I am calling ADESA a scam website because when a company sells a vehicle on their website it then goes to their pick up HUB, where they can see the vehicle and they can clearly tell if the car is as described, so, if a seller will advertise that is selling you a damaged but complete vehicle and posts some pictures that the vehicle is complete, when you receive the vehicle and you see that there is no engine, gearbox, or even a steering wheel, than it`s your fault cause you bought a damaged vehicle.

4. Fraudulent companies selling vehicles with hidden damages with the help of ADESA who know about it but won`t do anything about it.

5. STAY AWAY FROM THIS WEBSITE

it has been bad from the beginning…

it has been bad from the beginning until the end:
1. it started with a delivery time of 3 weeks and finally got the car after more than 6 weeks
2. almost impossible to get them on the telephone to ask for information about the purchase
3. any request is replied with Yes on the phone and nothing ever happens afterwards
4. at the hub, the pickup is after you are forced to sign all documents, blind, without seeing the car, so they avoid any complaints after
5. the sent documents are incomplete so the local registration process is a nightmare
6. post-sale service is virtually inexistent
7. once filed a complaint, there isn't another person to talk to after someone eventually replies, a superior or a decision makes, nothing

ovarall ... TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE on both of my purchases !

I DO NOT RECOMMEND !!!

Cea mai proasta experienta posibila.

Cea mai proasta experienta posibila.

Fereasca Dumneazeu sa apara o problema cu orice, spre exemplu ar fi actele necesare pentru inmatricularea masinii. In primul raspuns nu isi asuma, spunand ca ei nu sunt raspunzatori, de parca am achizitionat masina de pe alt site. Apoi "silenzio stampa" Mult succes sa mai primesti raspuns.

Nu credeam ca este posibil asa ceva.

The worst possible experience.

God forbid there is a problem with anything, such as the paperwork needed to register the car. In the first answer they are not responsible for anything (not even the papers received trough them), as if I bought the car from another site. Then "silenzio stampa" Good luck receiving another answer.

I didn't think that was possible.

Absolutely useless support team or…

Absolutely useless support team or whatever they call themselves. One person tells you one thing. Another person tells you another thing. A number of cars on their platforms have damages that are not included in the description or report. Nothing happens to the seller, the person that brings up such a problem however is greeted with a mischievous attitude.

Not reliable company

Not reliable company, on 3th car sold, some damaged non declared detected and reported on delivery time. Accepted complain but only pay 10% aprox of the costs to repair, que the total value is less than the value mentioned on termos and conditions... Buy anything on this company is a lottary.
