Re: Even More Motor Scams....!

hi guys, well things have progressed a bit more. It turns out the garage is not a 1 man band, this guy that they were dealing with only "works for the garage" and his actions were unknown to the owner. It turns out he said the car was imported but what he did was put 02 focus plates on it. than he disappeared altogether with the car.
The other day the owner of the garage called them and asked when were they going to return his BMW, they told him the story thinking he was in it but it turned out he knew nothing about it....... :ponder:. Anyway he said they have the Avensis and that it has an NCT now. He also asked could they collect it friday and leave the BMW back and he'll throw in 2 months tax. So they are going to go and look at the car on friday, as they are very apprehensive about the whole thing and really want there money back. So they said they have organised for a squad car to go down with them and over see the whole senario.
Personal checks on the guy that started the deal revealed that he is a pure gangster, found and reported doing many things.

So we'll see what happens friday.

thanks guys for the help really good support and help. Ill keep you posted

Cheers

They sold an Impreza that used to belong to me. I traded it in to a well known Subaru dealer and then it turns up in this garage in Maynooth with even less mileage than when I traded it 3 years earlier!!! I would say it had been through a few hands since they got it, so who knows how many times it was clocked and by who.
 
how can he throw in 2months tax?????
wouldnt touch that avensis with a bargepole now lad!!!!!
get their money back and be done with them...
they could take the avensis and some day out shopping could come back and find that the car is gone.....or not find :D :D

as scruff said ...the car could have massive miles on it in uk and got a trim over here.....
:angry: :angry:
 
never heard of this madness before.
Hope you get sorted or at least get proper pay back :angry:
 
Talk about your Arthur Daley types, hope you managed to get your money back, if you cant get the Gardai bring some mates in another car with you.
