Thorin Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 It's like the old link between Suprastore and Titan Motorsports which everyone seems to have forgotten about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest version30 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 (edited) guys thanks for all the feed back i really appreciate it but the point isn,t (is he selling a car that was potentially mine) but the fact that he part exchanged me a car that was sold with 12 months warranty 2 months later the engines knocking and he,s denying it has any warranty and refuses to do anything about it.... i just want the car fixed,,is that too much to ask??? Warranties are in addition to your statutory rights under SOGA 1979. Under SOGA any problems arising in the first 6 months are considered to have been there at point of purchase and is the responsibility of the retailer / used car dealer / who ever sold the item (new or not) to you. If your car is knackered after 2 months then you have a number of options. Reject / repair or replace at their cost / small claims for the cost of the repairs.(after giving them a chance to put things right and they have failed / refused) Dont let them fob you off regarding warranties. Its bull. Go to the consumeractiongroup motor and vehicle section they will provide some help. http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/reports/676408/oft1241.pdf Edited September 28, 2012 by version30 Soga only applies where goods are purchased from a business (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TwoJoeZee Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Glad I did not buy a Supra of them. I was interested in one first so I mailed them, but in the answers I got, they didn't sound very eager to sell the car. All I got were short answers. After some research about them on the forums, I came to conclusion I'd better look somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'm sure my old NA was from Platinum Autos in High Wycombe. Funnily enough, I seem to remember the guy there being called Ali also. My rocker cover gasket was gone when I bought the car, (didnt know much at all back then). Wouldnt surprise me if they were part of this multisingle company too.

Tyson Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I actually had a running email conversation with who I thought to be Paul Brown, he was very polite and helpful in sharing UK spec details he had in stock as well as just idle chit chat. Then about 6 months ago when things started going bad he just disappeared no word just gone. I wonder who I was talking to ? Probably this guy Ali.

Guest version30 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) Paul brown cars ltd has been struck off and dissolved as of 22nd May 2012. There's no longer any such registered company. Bargain cars direct was also dissolved in 2010 but in 2011 was newly incorporated with the same sole director. Just have a look on bizzy http://bizzy.co.uk/search/BARGAIN%20CARS%20DIRECT%20LIMITED and http://bizzy.co.uk/uk/07407717/paulbrowncars all public info Edited September 30, 2012 by version30 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 They're still listing cars under Paul Brown on Pistonheads, and the website is still active: http://www.paulbrowncars.co.uk/ I noticed Boys Toys had listed a Supra on Pistonheads too recently.

Dnk Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 This made me laugh and taken from the thread on DW. It's cos Paul brown cars are actually run by two dodgy Asian guys! My friend bought a black 34 GTT off them/Paul brown cars, and they were dodgy as hell, trackies and doing deals in side streets, unlike the lovely garage they pretend to advertise from!
