I am sorry, I have never heard of Westharbourcapital so I can't tell you if it is reputable or not. However, buying a car in this way is asking for trouble. Better to come here yourself and buy at auction. Dealers can buy remotely at both BCA and Manheim auctions using the Internet, but first they have to set up accounts. I know one trader who bought two cars at BCA Blackbushe using his laptop and a USB phone link from the Thai/Laos border.
