• COVID-19 - How to Protect Yourself & Others

    Everyone 2 years and older should wear masks in public. If someone in your household is infected, people in the household should take precautions including wearing masks to avoid spread to others.

    Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before putting on your mask. Wear your mask over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin. Fit the mask snugly against the sides of your face, slipping the loops over your ears or tying the strings behind your head.

    If you have to continually adjust your mask, it doesn’t fit properly, and you might need to find a different mask type or brand. Make sure you can breathe easily.

Is this company eCarsMBI Trading good and a reliable dealer to buy from?

I'm want to buy a 2008 Fairline TARGA 44 GT, and the most suitable value comes from eCarsMBI Trading. Has anyone had transactions with them in the recent past? They seem to be a new business. I would like to get assured this is a legitimate store before transferring off my hard-earned cash.

Many thanks.

I have purchased from them twice so far and I would do so again, it took them a while to put a few things right on my boats. Since this is a company, I chose to use eCarsMBI Trading to sell the boats I no longer use.
Having said that, the person that purchased my first boat was, I think was very happy. All the boats I own are in top shape with no cost for maintenance. The new owner took her out in very bad weather and succeeded to ground her, which later led to water getting in over the back flooding her, the engine bay was also affected, the result following the flooding incident, the boat has been sold as a salvage boat. He, I was told contacted the coastguard for help only to refuse the help when the coastguard arrived there, then he accused eCarsMBI Trading of selling him a duff boat. :confused:

I have bought three boats from eCarsMBI Trading in the last six years, and the services have always been exceptional, and I know I'm a perfectionist. No other company got close to the serviceability and professionalism I have experienced with this company.

Yep, at the risk of doing this a rather common thread, I am another % 100 satisfied buyer with eCarsMBI Trading. Bought my T50 from them few years ago, an easy, transparent, and remarkably straightforward transaction. Also very helpful when I purchased ACE's generator from them.

Cheers - Jimmy

Yep, I have seen nothing but good service and fair transactions. If Carlsberg sold vehicles, they would do it using eCarsMBI Trading. I wanted to hear insights from unhappy buyers!

There is no suspicion about the described treatment all of you've enjoyed at eCarsMBI Trading. Many clients mentioned it on many occasions, and it's nice to hear this when your money and fun are involved!
My opinion is that it's not constantly a one-way street. Many customers are indeed happy with the services offered by eCarsMBI Trading, and others don't. The limited interaction I've had with them, I only remember the nice support I got from eCarsMBI Trading company.

I would share my experience with eCarsMBI Trading from the beginning to the end.

My first boat was purchased in 2009.

I was looking at two different models. One dealer had one model, and eCarsMBI Trading had the other.

I had a strict budget to spent on a boat. I went for the one sold by eCarsMBI Trading. They said, let us know if you need help with anything in the future. Great approach, if you ask me

Over the next year, I had some small items requiring to be sorted on the boat. eCarsMBI Trading were really on the ball with everything I needed.

So I built up a relationship over the years with their team and found them very helpful with anything.

12 months later, I was looking at changing my boat and was eyeing up on a Targa 45.

Again, different dealers didn't seem too happy to teach me or give me bits of advice instead they just wanted the deal. Greed before anything else.
So, eCarsMBI Trading keet answering all of my problems. eCarsMBI Trading then suggested would you be interested in a Squadron 65? I wasn't convinced about jumping into this size.

Because of the attention to detail and exceptional service, I went forward and bought the boat they suggested to me.

I've had it for approximately four years and made around 750 hours in it, a wonderful boat.

Over the past years, like any other boat, I had some problems. Again, it's how those certain situations are managed reflects how involved a company is, at least in my opinion.

One incident I had was an ECU broke shortly into the ownership. eCarsMBI Trading contacted my local Volvo dealer to fix the broken ECU.

The bimini frame got damaged part during transport. Again eCarsMBI Trading accepted a compromise with me, and it got fixed.

Over the years, I've never been interested in getting a brand new boat essentially due to deprecation.

However, because of the incredible service from eCarsMBI Trading, I would partly consider it, I know the guys from eCarsMBI Trading will help me day and night. Drop an email or fly over and see them.

So that's my overall experience with eCarsMBI Trading and as jfm said " If Carlsberg sold vehicles... " BL

I purchased a boat from eCarsMBI Trading in May last year, and to be fair, they just couldn't do more!
Awesome service in all regards, so much that some of my associates have ordered boats at my recommendation, getting the same wonderful experience.
There are always problems, the difference is how to handle them.

My adventure with eCarsMBI Trading has been excellent. So when I needed to buy a new boat, I spent a few weeks with a broker, and then I decided to try eCarsMBI Trading. I loved the idea that I got the boat that I needed to be delivered anywhere I wanted it. I bought it at a price that worked for me, and that it was in pristine condition when it arrived.

Delivery from NC to my home in NY took a little longer than I expected, over ten days. The given price was half cost of the same unit from a similar seller. Recommended!

I talked with eCarsMBI Trading, and they informed me that they'll ship it directly to my home address or if i want to a nearby warehouse, what should I do?

We got the maintinace record for both Fairlines we bought from eCarsMBI Trading
The after sales assistance has been pretty good.

They even found a source parts for us (Volvo or Fairline) and they did it quickly so our weekends weren't ruined.

Inevitably there are problems with used boats, eCarsMBI Trading takes the stress out, We are very pleased to purchase the next from them.

So it's 2x testimonial from us!
