Terrible experience buying from The Supercar Rooms Hartlebury

lol at the saying he would rather send the money to charity.

I don't understand how someone with such a customer facing and vulnerable business can have attitude like that, all it would take is for someone upset of that nature to key the lot of the stock in the middle of the night, bet it would be expensive enough to put right, but not expensive enough to be worth claiming on the insurance.
 
*Update*

Received a call from BMW finance (the ultimate people who provided the finance on the car). Long story short they are waiting on a team meeting / meeting with managers to authorize a payout as the amount is more than the pre-authorized level they have.

Happy days it would seem.

I'm confused. Are you claiming for the paint or something else?

A lot else :)

I picked apart the entire sale, line by line and pulled everything up that was amiss or questionable.

Needless to say, when you copy paste an advert without checking if the car matches, it gives you a great misrepresentation claim ;) Unfortunately for them, after treating me like **** I went full nuclear.

That's good to know. I always thought you paid full cash. Financing a car seems to be the better option these days.

Self employed (not Ltd), the cars I have at least on some finance to protect myself should the worst ever happen and a customer comes after me personally.

Also the APR was amazing, so why not :)

Who is actually paying though? The finance company or the dealer?

Didn't the dealer get paid in full already.

In that thread above

Despite Mr Smiths continual bullying tactics of us during this situation we are doing our upmost to try and get to the bottom of it, we have enlisted the help of Tony Willis (The custodian of the Ferrari archives) in the hope that he can confirm this as an error back in 1988 at the point of manufacture. Unfortunately rather than work with us/Tony Willis to have this error rectified, Mr Smith has proceeded to issue county court proceedings against us, this leaves us with no other choice than to liquidate the company to safeguard the livelihood and interests of the 10 employees of the company,

Surely you can't just liquidate a company to avoid liabilities. Otherwise everyone would do it before a big claim comes in.

They used to do it all the time, but the law has evolved and you can now pursue former Directors of liquidated companies if you wish to using an insolvency practitioner or lawyer.

The finance company, they are equally and jointly liable for the entire purchase, even over and above the sum they loaned. From the sounds of things they are going to sort me out, and then go after the company/directors via their legal department.
 
This all seems a bit OTT to me, your second hand car had a bumper respray at some point and the paint isn't a complete match, so now you are getting a finance company involved to the tune of 7k+?

Life is too short.

Bit different when its a car of this value. You might overlook a paint issue on a 2001 Corsa but not something like this.
 
But if its affecting his enjoyment of the ownership and he likes the car, surely just get it resprayed and send them a bill for 500 quid..

When you liquidate a company you have to advertise the fact, its publicly listed, creditors then have a window of opportunity to submit claims.

The problem is though that the car was sold under false pretenses. I'm (largely assuming here) that Kindai was told it was pristine, had never had damage etc. etc. Then what he finds is it's obviously had a bump and they've performed a crap repair job. That's just not on. On top of that they've then acted like utter penises of the highest order.
It's one of those things where if they'd acted reasonably - owned up, apologised, fixed it properly then it wouldn't be happening. Sometimes however people need to learn a lesson.

I tried to keep it friendly and amicable. They are the ones who basically turned around, told me to **** off and treated me like a mug.

And that is something I don't stand for.
