hi thanks for your response I have nt been physically back to the garage because i was concerned about how a scoundral like this might react to me but I have reported it to Trading Standards and they are very interested in the case and have asked for me to foward all the infomation i have onto them. CAB advised me to send him a letter as you have recorded delivery cant believe this company are still trading.

Hi think I can now say im a member of the been ripped of by Barber Car Sales Group. Ive got a baby due in December and decided to free up some cash and change my mint Subaru Impreza for an older model so I could get the babys room kitted out. Saw an advert on Ebay for a impreza that was older but still looked nice and the advert said part ex and swaps considered it was Barber Car Sales. I went down had a look at the car and did the deal with 'Dave' Mr Virdi for my car and cash he said he didnt have the cash there but gave me a deposit to confirm the deal. All ok so far I got a phone call from 'Dave' a week later saying he had my cash and we needed to do the deal that day which I thought was strange but went with it. Drove to the Barber Cars sales site signed the paperwork collected the cash and drove away in my new car. Now comes the bad bit I recieved a letter in the post from the DVLA less than a week later saying thakyou for your application for the V5C but we are unable to issue it until the car has had its VIC test to prove it is fit to go back on the road after its accident repair and to confirm that the repair has been done to a high standard. I carried out an HPI check on the car which 'Dave' says he does on every car to find out the car is a cat C recorded car in 2011 and has not been inspected to confirm the repair is good enough for the car to even be on the road let alone sold by a garage at full retail. So I contacted 'Dave' and he admited he was not aware of the car being recorded I asked for my money back and now this has been over 3 weeks and I think Barber Car Sales Coventry, Longford Road have fallen of the face of the earth because they dont answer the phone to me or my texts and Im left with a dangerous car that shouldnt be on the road what a mistake I made going to these people wish I had googled there name first cant believe they are still in business can anyone advise me as to what I should do next cheers
