Countrywide cars (Bham)
http://www.countrywidecarsuk.com.razsor.autotrader.co.uk/
B8 2LB
My naive 19 year old son is thinking of buying a car from them, their website gives a mobile number and no address. Porsonally I wouldnt touch 'em with a bargepole, but need a bit of "proof"/support to stop him losing his hard earned.
Help !

Google their postcode and look at maps. If they are the shower on Alun Rock Road, think it's at the junction with Gowan Road. It's a petrol station. Tell him to walk away.0

It's random semi on a rather unpleasant residential street. Doesn't inspire confidence.0 -
Does not display a full address which is naughty for a business although the post code looks to be this road...

With just a mobile number and no proper address how would your son deal with any problems with the car?0 -

This looks like one of their cars - https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=B8+2LB&hl=en&ll=52.492726,-1.825846&spn=0.001737,0.002634&sll=52.49406,-1.826893&sspn=0.001746,0.002634&t=h&hnear=Birmingham+B8+2LB,+United+Kingdom&z=19&layer=c&cbll=52.492726,-1.825846&panoid=SRS65caGwemOb7d9XhWg6Q&cbp=12,0.17,,0,14.85
It's certainly where they've taken photos of some on their website, and that one has for sale notices in the window.0 -
Thanks folks I'll show him this, I had googled, and the address appears to have six or seven cars parked up when the camera went past.0

Personally i wouldnt touch them, no proper address and no landline contact0
-
Why doesn't he just pay cash when he looks at the car?0
