i had a guy on the phone to me this morning saying he had just looked at buying a car in the birmingham area, and he was just checking as it had reciepts from gti-r-us totalling 17k of work in 2004, we wasnt even trading in these cars at that time:shock:
now this is not the first time this has happened with regard to ficticious invoices and its really starting to p1ss me off, and il be speaking to the guy if the bloke that phoned me will pass on his number that is:roll:
all our engine builds carry a numbered stamp on the block (similar to norris) and each one will be matched by our records and appropiate copy of invoice.
so if you go look at a car to purchase then check with us with reg number etc and also try take a photo of the invoice and send us the photo.
this is going on a lot lately, ive seen dodgy invoices from hiteq, dp motorsport, rc and a few other companies also, so just be very carefull or you could end up buying a whole heap of junk just because it has supposedly had thousands spent on it.
ive been caught out once or twice myself, but i just foot the loss and blame myself for being a numbnut that should know better.
if someone says a car has a quaife and forged engine and they have reciepts then this still doesnt mean the car has those parts still fitted even though the bill may be genuine and suggest otherwise.
just remember parts are easily removed and swapped for standard parts and sometimes its very difficult to check untill its too late and you've parted with your cash.
so moral to this is 'paperwork means jackshit' do your checks properly;-)
