Has anyone heard of / used these before?

That seems to be my thoughts. The address just comes up as a house address

Anything that ends in "r us" I tend to avoid ( unless for toys of course!)

Just smacks of cheap and tacky to me.

You have a valid point

Even then, avoid Toys R us, they're an absolute rip off.

Looks ok, doesn't it? They might be a bit *cough* Brummie, but I'd probably give them a try. Treat it a bit like a private sale in terms of any comeback.

It does look ok, i guess the proof will be in the pudding

[Magic919]

I don't really understand that phrase. We always said the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

RULE NUMBER ONE OF CAR BUYING:

Don't buy cars from places that begin with the letter B.

Birmingham
Bradford
Bolton
Blackburn
Burnley
Bury.

Unfortunately you do have to take the hit of losing Bristol, but its collateral damage.

and BKeighley (I think it's a silent "B")

That comes under Bradford, using a bit of man maps anyway.

I bought a car from Bolton. Didn't even see the car before picking it up. Been great for 2 years since.

[Northernchimp]

I bought a car from Basingstoke once... Never again.

Directors address is in a rough part of brum.
Car pics are taken on an industrial estate nearby (again, bit minging around there)
All his cars have tints & look a bit "B". 2 seem cheap, one has mega miles.
Driveway trader, so when it blows up on the way back to the M6, you will have no comeback.

Good luck.

How very dare you, whats wrong with Bournemouth, then again

I was going to say in my original post that I wouldn't buy a car in those circumstances in that area but I thought I was being judgemental. The "dealer" also only has a mobile number for contact. I don't live too far away from there and I wouldn't go!

Having said all that, if it is keenly priced, all paperwork ties up OK, take a burly mate and have a look

[TheAngryDog]

I'm going to give it a miss
