Bought a van from Tadley Trade Cars which broke down 7 weeks later. Absolutely no help what so ever. They just said "don't bother trying to take us to court, people have tried but our paperwork is water tight" Great business slogan for posters and fliers eh?

If you buy a van from a dealer make sure they offer some sort of warranty. These guys are not necessarily the cheapest around either so shop around and get a better deal. They get away with it by selling business to business as this way you are not a consumer and therefore have no recourse to Trading Standards. They advertise their vans for customer rectification so unless you want a whole lot of aggravation buy elsewhere. Not nice people to deal with.

Bought a van from Tadley Trade Centre, in good faith. Advert said "beautiful, won't find better. Within 2 weeks the head gasket blew, and the the injectors are seized so the local garage said its a write off. The guys doesn't want to know, am taking him to court.

Yes "sold as seen" but broke down within an hour on the motorway and mechanic found a concealed oil by-pass that put us in serious danger. The staff knew we had a long drive home. when we called them, we were told that they would take the van back in part exchange, that day, at a lower price. It was total deception. Do not use these sharks whatever you do. We are taking them to court.

No. Whilst they are clear that there are no warranties on the vehicles, we bought a car and one might have thought that when we broke down, in less than a month, they would have tried to help and been slightly flexible. Instead of this they told us that their business model was "bought as seen" and that was that. No help. I do not recommend Tadley Trade Centre.
