  • Wow I wouldn't spend so much time defending a company even if it was mine.

    You just bought a car from them, if people don't trust this company, why do you care so much?

    I have photos of the sale invoice, the V5, anything you need.

    They'll do. Take your pick.

    As I suspected, the stand up comedy acts have started.

    Did you read the post above your first one?

    Sounds dodgy to me, I wouldn't use them based on what I've seen here.
  • Doesn't Heathcoat Garage supply cars? Or just tractors?

  • This company is a SCAM- i have created this profile purely to post about this company as they have taken nearly £8,000 of our money for a car that we haven’t received- they responded to all queries and questions asked until the money was paid and then blocked all messages. The car we bought is back up for ‘sale’ again.
    Unfortunately my other half got duped by them but I don’t want it to happen to anybody else.

    Police, action fraud, the banks...everybody has been informed and sent all messages sent and received by these people.

    The message on the 9th September saying the company is legit happened to be created right after my other half sent them the link to this site asking if they are a scam- their reply was that nobody had actually bought a car from them so were just assuming.

    Well now you have an actual person telling you this is a scam and I have proof although im not posting it on here as we’ve given it to the police and hoping something comes of it!

    I just found this thread because I was searching for privatebestcars4you.com in order to check what new cars they have on stock. I am amazed of the ignorance of the so called experts posting here. I actually have a car bought from this company sitting in my garage. NONE of the people writing here have ever bought a car from this company and all they can do is speculate. I know that my reply will trigger a wave of ironies from the "experts" and even get deleted. I am a real person who have a car from them and this is a fact that I KNOW. I will buy from them again when I will need to change the current car. I also know the amount of bad posts they are receiving after they started selling to private buyers and started to have a presence online, not so long ago. I bought a car from them when they didn't have a website, selling very some cars to private buyers, mostly through word to mouth. Indeed, the selling process for private buyers is out of the ordinary, it was the same when I bought my car and I liked it. Now, the "experts" can start the stand up comedy act.

    Any further comment? Perhaps the site owners should give your IP address to the boys in blue.
  • Been linked to this by a similar thread on HotUKDeals. I am very concerned about the public posting of a passport as given the owner's personal details are very easily Google-searched, it wouldn't take much of an effort for it to be used for fraudulent means.

    In nearly 20 years of posting online, constructively or otherwise, I've never known someone to post their passport as a retort.

    If the person posting as Andrew is actually him, then fair enough and that's his prerogative, though it doesn't necessarily address the issue of the thread.

    Same company, scam
  • Hello gents, I’ve follow this company for the last 6 months and everything looks suspicious about that!
    > Why the company don’t have phone number? Even when they show a picture with such a big team?
    > Why they post on Facebook some fake address for Birmingham area?
    > Why they have another address is some common house?
    > Why when I ask to see the car personally they said that’s not possible at all?
    > Why the car stock remains exactly the same after more than 6 months?
    > Why they change the Facebook page name so many times over the last months?

    So, after all is too good to be truth!
