    I dont understand this, It is financial suicide to carry on this way.. Can the Dealer involved come on and lets hear the story, he did come on before??

    Id be upset to say the least if it was my car, im interested in the legal angle if there is one, I just had a pretty close shave (not Davy jones) with purchasing a 355 and got my money back thanks to good old HPI check :)

    Me too.

    I have heard so many horror stories I am amazed they are still in business.

    It would be interesting to see how quickly magazines and the various owners clubs like the FOC would refuse to carry their advertising if advised of these types of incident.

    Theres a few Testarossa's about at the minute, but the Countach is my first choice. It seems so outrageous and both cars I had on my wall as a kid. Really trying to find someone who wants to swap with a just a little bit of cash each way.

    no kevan no contact what so ever and this sort of thing has happened before about RC and everybody slags him off
    if it was the other dealer nearby the thread would be closed and every body asking questions trying to find out if it was true it just proves that fchat has certain rules for some and not others

    There are other similar stories and threads on Fchat though Steve - the mods have decided its not appropriate for us to even post links to these !!

    When and who is going to make the decision to name and shame - so that no other Fcar owners get shafted - allegedly :D

    TBF, the links were removed EXACTLY because the dealer had been in the frame before. It was thought fairer to let the thread run its course without ref to previous comments. It's open to James to name and shame the dealer in question if he feels ready.

    Believe me I wish I'd checked with you guys before I handed my car over to said dealer. And as expected, still no cash... My solicitor starts formal proceedings today and I've also been in touch with the local CID who are now on the case. Watch this space!

    I can assure everyone this is a legit case and I'm not another dealer! As Tony mentioned we've spoken over the phone and I've had calls from a few other disgruntled customers of said dealer. Please PM me if you want further details of my sorry story!!
