IrvesBMW Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has first hand experience with Loughshore Logistics in Belfast. I've recently agreed to buy a 2021 Volvo XC40 R-Design through their repossessed vehicle department. I've done a bit of research and they seem to have been in transport for years, but this repossessed vehicle side of the business appears to be fairly new. Has anybody here actually bought through them? Would really appreciate hearing some genuine experiences before I completely stop worrying. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianwh4 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 We've used Loughshore Logistics a couple of times through work for transporting machinery between Belfast and Glasgow and never had any problems. Didn't even realise they had started selling repossessed vehicles until recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard_silver Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 i'd still be careful there are loads of fake vehicle adverts floating around online these days that doesn't automatically mean this company is one of them but I'd always check Companies House, reviews and make sure you're actually speaking to the real business before transferring any money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulinelinker Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Bought a 2020 Seat Ateca from Loughshore Logistics around June last year. Wasn't convinced at first if I'm honest 😂 Ended up arriving on day 9. Had my own garage check it over the following week and it all came back fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDudette Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I'm probably old school and I still like standing beside the car before spending that sort of money. Online buying always feels strange to me even if there's a guarantee attached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrvesBMW Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 I actually asked whether I could come over myself and they said I was more than welcome to visit the Belfast warehouse by appointment. Apparently buyers can inspect the vehicle before deciding if they want to proceed. It would've meant flights and a hotel for me though, so I decided just to let them deliver it instead. Hopefully I've made the right choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChatMaven Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 That's usually a decent sign scammers normally come up with excuses why you can't see the vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennycarlotta Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Still not convinced I'd buy a car without seeing it first. I know people do it all the time now but there's always that little voice in the back of your head wondering what you've missed Mind you, being able to inspect it for two weeks after delivery does make it less worrying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt865 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I purchased a Tucson through loughshore logistics and nothing felt rushed. They went through how the segregated payment account worked, what happened during delivery, and exactly how the 14 day money back period operated. That gave me a lot more confidence!

Chrishazle Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Out of curiosity... How are they asking you to pay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgx Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Can I ask whether anyone managed to pay by credit card? I'd normally prefer the extra protection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulinelinker Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I asked exactly the same question. They explained they'd stopped accepting cards for vehicle purchases because of previous chargeback issues and fees that applies with the trnasaction, and with the segregated acc is basicly the same thing, like paying with your car as the money remains protected while the vehicle is delivered and throughout the inspection period.

CyberNinja Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Hi, my brother nearly bought a BMW X3 xDrive20d from them but he changed his mind only because he found something local Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordSmith Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Just adding another positive one I didn't buy a car, but I've used Loughshore Logistics for transporting equipment from Northern Ireland several times through work. Always kept us updated and deliveries arrived when expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrvesBMW Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 Thought I'd update the thread! The Volvo turned up this morning everything was handled professionally. The car was exactly as described, spotless inside, started first time and came with all the documents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
