Don't be fooled by the slick marketing, these guys are just as shady as any other car dealer. In the process of selling them a used car via accommodation sale (exchange between 2 dealers), I encountered illegal business practices, breach of contract, and extreme unreliability. Their actions at the last minute (after exchanging paperwork with the other dealer) torpedoed the purchase of my new car and severely inconvenienced all 3 parties involved in the deal (myself, my broker and the other dealer). Stay away!Edit: My turn to clarify after Shopicar responded. The 4 cosmetic issues with the car (3 minor, one more serious) were fully disclosed and accurately described. The individuals I spoke, texted and emailed did not indicate any quality issues with my photos - in fact Shopicar has never seen the car, their updated repair assessment is based on those very same photos - they just failed to do that estimate before agreeing on a price. At no time did anyone I spoke with indicate there would be any further adjustment or review process before the transaction itself. They had already asked to be placed in contact with the other dealer to begin coordinating and finalizing the transaction. This is a case of them making a mistake and screwing over the seller.What is marketed on Shopicar's website is a service that uses AI models to estimate car values. I referenced a quote I had received from another dealer, and selling my car privately would result in an even higher price. Shopicar's role is to make an offer based on their valuation of the car and the seller decides to sell at that price or not. I did consult a lawyer and in Quebec verbal agreements are binding - if their AI models did not properly factor in repair costs (for fully disclosed issues!), the time to bring that up is BEFORE initiating the transaction. To do otherwise is dishonest, unfair, and no more consumer friendly than any other shady car dealer out there.
