£16K driveway, not £16K damage!.

Looks like a resin bound system - someone will just come along and fill those footprints in with some more gravel & resin. I doubt its a big drama.

The people in the story claim they paid for the car in full. So where did the money go, or are they just lying?

That is a question many people asked about SK Performance cars.

I've got very little sympathy for people who choose to buy a Cayenne for £10k over value in what looks like the colour of raw sewage, and then wear jumpers as foul as those when being photographed for a national rag.

Indeed. Memo to self: if I ever find myself in the position of buying a car from a dodgy dealer who subsequently goes bust and the police seize it, only wear heavy knitwear for the Daily Mail expose photo if my man breasts are smaller than my wife's

I've just read a few of the comments at the bottom of the article. It appears we aren't on our own...

There's clearly more money in boarding houses for rabbits than I ever imagined.

Why don't the owners ask for money to be paid directly into their account ? The odd sale or return car we retail we never touch the money unless it's financed as the money gets paid directly to us then is transferred straight to the owner before the car is released.

7 years is a good sentence. I expect he'll be out in 3-4, still, you can hope it sends a message to anyone thinking of doing the same.
Doesn't help those who are still out of pocket though.

He should have paid the owner's their money. Sounds a bit more complicated than what is just being reported. I would wager that it was the owner and finance company that were loosing. I.e. the car would be sold to someone who took out finance and then the car would be reported stolen. The car would then be sold for cash and the finance company loosing out as well as the owner of the car. Same car stolen twice.

Drug money?

The bloke was essentially operating a Ponzi scheme by paying off debts to select long time unpaid customers with money earned from revenue from more recent customers' car sales.

Anyone who leaves any vehicle with a dealer sale or return is extremely unwise (imo) there is a very good chance it could go tits up, even if the dealer has been established many many years.

I nearly got my fingers burnt when I left a Triumph motorbike with a local long established Triumph main dealers.

They sold my bike the next day, never told me, I found out from the new owner (In Ireland) when he contacted me with a query. it took me two weeks to finally get my money, after around ten phone calls.

They went bust six months later.

Never again.

What a chav looking punk.

They should take away all his assets and make him live on the streets when he gets out.

Hope someone stabs him in prison.

OP, in the article they mention a Porsche Cayenne, did that belong to you, did you get your money?
