noticed that a certain hippleholme used car dealer whose owner has been jailed for money laundering , abusing customers and selling dangerous vehicles is advertising cars and motorhomes on various websites . cant name them as think they advertise on oh, they have new name but previously traded as hippleholme autopoint , chequered flag car sales and in todmorden as 4x4 warehouse and todmorden trade centre. Is it all them same plp? assume local people would be well aware of their reputation and they are selling to non local customers . How can they get trading licence ?

always loved looking at their stk but it always looked better in ads than in reality !

Ah I know these.
Went to go look at a dodge ram srt they had in stock (couldn't afford it but wanted to see one in the flesh) to which the add made it look immaculate. 30 secs of browsing and I noticed rust everywhere.
Interior was a bit tatty too.

I too would like to know how they are trading still laugh

Ah, Chequered Past cars... I thought the owners had all been jailed or something? Loads of stuff in the local rag a year or two back.
