They are scammers and liars.

A few days ago, I saw an advertisement from Armal Motors on PistonHeads for a Toyota Prius. The advert stated that the vehicle had **29,900 miles** on the odometer, which was one of the reasons I was interested in the car.
Before proceeding, I called Armal Motors and explained that I would arrange an independent RAC pre-purchase inspection. I told them that if the inspection confirmed the vehicle matched the description in the advert, I would buy it. They agreed and told me to go ahead.
I paid £150 for an independent RAC pre-purchase inspection. During the inspection, the mechanic found serious issues that did not match the information in the advert. According to the RAC report, there were significant concerns about the vehicle's mileage, indicating that the odometer reading may not be genuine.
While the inspection was taking place, the mechanic asked the dealer about the apparent mileage issue. The dealer's response was simply, **"I don't know."** In my opinion, this was not a satisfactory or reasonable explanation for such a serious concern.
As a result of the inspection findings, I decided not to purchase the vehicle and lost £150 on the inspection, which I only arranged because I relied on the information provided in the advert.
Based on my experience, I would strongly advise anyone considering buying a vehicle from Armal Motors to arrange an independent inspection and carefully verify the vehicle's history before making any purchase.
