www.autousedcars.co.uk is a scam along the lines of these sites that the Isle of Man government is warning about: www.gov.im/lib/news/fsc/bogusinternetcar1.xml
www.autousedcar.co.uk doesn't exist any more - presumably because it has already been closed down.
What these sites all have in common is that they're selling 'repossessed cars' (which don't exist - the ads are stolen from legitimate sites) at unbelievable prices, are 'based in the Isle of Man' (they're not) and want you to pay by bank transfer (you won't see the money again).
If you Google their names, you will find that they have no history, aside from some fake reviews on a series of bizarre websites - which often have nothing to with cars or car buying.
Avoid. This is only the latest incarnation of this scam. The site will appear again under a different name - as it has done in the past.
