makes more sense now, thanks
I get how car dealerships could be useful for money laundering, but something about the example as it was worded didn't stack up.
I'd need a lot more to conclude that this place is doing that though, simply because it is very high profile and does appear to actually have the cars. I'd assume that such an operation would probably want to fly under the radar.
There are certain places I would never buy a car from, Bradford and a select few of the surrounding areas around that part of the UK probably fall into that category. I’m sure the whole area is full of genuine cars and sellers, however I’d rather not take the risk as I do know of some very dodgy things that happen in that part of the world.

To be fair I’d also not buy from Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham and London, the latter more so for the fact most examples I’ve seen have been tatty. Again I’m sure there are amazing cars and sellers in each of those places, but when you’re not desperate you can afford to be choosy smile

you're really restricting yourself there!

I agree with bradford there for sure though

Page 2 from Mark H, March 2022, purchased a 157k Lambo that was clocked, surely enough reason for OPs client to look elsewhere.

Those reviews linked above are beyond believable. How the owners haven't been locked up I've no idea.

Was reading a news article just now where they were fined just £50k for ripping off customers for God knows how much. No wonder they carry on doing this sh t when they know all they'll get is a slap on the wrists.

What a bunch of cee you n tees.

They seem to have some good stock, a few Speciale's in the window and there was a gorgeous silver TDF there a few weeks ago.
The reviews are comical though.

Are they on companies house ?

Some of those cars have been there many years.

Surely too cars selling for over £200k should be on a fake lake somewhere.
