Trovit Cars

The app works well for what’s it is. An aggregator that pulls in published car ads. However, readers and users please be careful. Many of the ads are fake. Scammers are using other legitimate sellers photos and creating fake ads. They also have a really attractive price. I made three contacts one a private seller and two supposed dealers. On every contact when I tried to arrange for a Pre Purchase Inspection company the stopped responding. Do your research and always get an inspection report.

I really like this app for locating vehicles of possible interest. My hope is as they continue to improve app searches can get more specific. Today, luckily a Ford van with 6.8L engine was listed among search of vehicles listed in email. Since I am looking for one type of vehicle it would be great if only they show up in search preferences. My choice Ford Econoline E-350 cargo van with V10 (6.8L) motor. I am not interested in Extended chassis E350 for 15 passengers. Not looking for passenger van, not looking for box truck. Point is some manufacturers have a multitude of choices I’d love to create a more targeted search criteria even if matches rarely show up or once-in-a-while.

I've reached out to five different Sellers claiming to be selling a car I was intertested in. Four of the five never responded at all and the fifth turned out to be a con artist. (more about that in the next paragraph). I also contacted the app administrator about the 80% lack of response from each seller but I never received a single response to my four complaints. Now for the con artist..... In his first response to me he told me that he's in Baghdad on assignment for the military so he can't arrange a test drive of the car (STRIKE ONE). When I responded that I live 20 minutes from the advertised location of the car so I can look the car over before turning over the cash, he replied back that he inexplicably shipped the car to Minneapolis though a third party who coordinates transactions for sellers who are overseas so it cannot be inspected (STRIKE TWO). But....and here is the best part.....IF I WIRED THE ENTIRE PUCHASE PRICE TO HIM the car would be delivered to me in 12 hours with his promise not to touch the money until my mechanic has thoroughly inspected the car (STEEEERIKE THREE!). I promptly responded that I just needed the bank information and federal id number so I could verify it..... No surprise that's the last communication we had. The common denominator with all five "sellers" was their offering price was $2-$3k below the average asking price for the car I'm looking for. So word to the wise....the asking prices sound too good to be true because they are!
