Is this too good to be true?

    If a repo company has the time & money to be producing listings with such high quality & perfect professional photography, idk why they are in the repo business.

    Repo purchases can be a great value or a total disaster.

    Meaning a full on inspection would be my objective when considering. By full on I mean me and my trusted indy mechanic, side by side.

    You may not be able to pull that off w/an outfit like this, as opposed to a local bank / CU.

    It's also why I shy on auction cars. I know there's good values there, but I lack trust of the unknown, especially at today's big bucks.

    RED FLAG - they only accept wire transfer payments.

    Lots of classis cars listed that have been repoed. I mean who the fuck buys classic cars on credit? If you don't have the funds to out right pay for a 70 year old garage queen than why buy it?

    Yes, it’s a scam website hence the earlier comment.

    The $18k buy now price does look too good to be true.

    https://tqcompanyllc.com/product/2017-toyota-tacoma-trd-off-road-double-cab-4x4/

    I'd guess the classic cars could be there because somebody defaulted on a big loan and they had used the cars for collateral. Notice the pics all look like they were taken at the same $$$ property.

    Went back and looked at the 3 Tacomas they had up and all 3 had a buy now price that looked to be at least $10k under market value.

    I'd do a lot more research on the company.

    Its totally a scam.....BUT...

    A lot of people are buying classic cars on credit. JJ Best and a few others offer financing aimed at classic cars. I would never do that as I hate financing things but people do it.

    Website created only 4 days ago: https://www.scam-detector.com/validator/tqcomprepo-llc-review/

    Phone number listed is a VoIP number with carrier being BANDWIDTH.COM-NSR-10X/1

    Googling the company's name returns many fake forum pages with good reviews of the company. Keep in mind these aren't shill reviews, but full-on fake web sites planted to make TQCOMPRepo seem legit. Example: https://inexplicitlyrepulsor.com/ purports to be a thread on HondaForums, but none of the links in the page work. 10/10 a scam.
