Jared350z Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Just checked. Its Boys Toys Specialist Cars. Not 100% certain on the ezaxt circumstances of the name change etc. So tread carefully. Just incase you might find this funny I just sent them this email on their new website: "Hi, I called earlier about a car I bought from you 4 and 1/2 months ago, when you traded under the name paul brown cars. I called earlier and I recognised the voice on the phone. Also all the pics you have on ebay have the same background as the ones from your previous website. The address also matches up with where I came and viewed the car. I have read and have been told about what Paul brown cars have done and I am emailing you to put right before any action is taken. I am having to pay for a full engine rebuild and as a dealer you are required to provide a warranty. I am not stupid and I know you are the same people. I do not wish to have to drive to your private warehouse to sort this out. I wish to sort this out calmly. I have the bank account number that I paid the deposit into and that can be traced. Please dont find my politeness as weakness. If you wish to deal with this and talk over a face to face meeting I would me more than happy to come see you, even if that means pretending to view one of your supras but I think we can sort this out without that. I look forward to hearing from you." Should be interesting!!!!! HA HA HA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Are all second hand dealerships required to give a warranty? If so how long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I don't think dealers HAVE to give a warranty do they? I know on DCY Europes site they only give a 3 month warranty on cars purchased for over £4.5k so there are additional requirements to it. Like I said, when I asked this Boys Toys what their warranty offer was I got blanked, if the OP hasn't got anything in writing, not sure what he can do to enforce it?

mattross1313 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 AFAIK it's 3 months warranty from a dealer unless you pay for an upgrade. Either way, crap news about your car mate. Hope you get it sorted as painlessly as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared350z Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 I have just bitten the bullet and gone for an engine rebuild with uprated parts, I dropped it off at garage D yesterday and luckily julian is a god friend and said he'll try and get it done for next week fingers crossed. I was lucky as he has all the parts I want due to him already build another VQ35 up. FYI He has a VQ30DET for sale with everything you need from loom to ECU for £1500!!! fits straight into a 350Z, 3ltr single turbo, I was so tempted but I wanna do a RB25 conversion next year which I'll be doing with Julian!! will be one to watch, not as good as Bizz LS3 but hopefully close ha ha. I'm kinda happy my engine has gone as it means I'll have a fresh one to look after shame I cant reset my mileage clock on the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is that risk but it might be worth a look at or even taking some one to check it out with him before cash is handed over :-) and as you just pointed out you have to take the word off a compleat stranger !

I'm off to Google for a nose around..... Its out of a Nissan gloria, Julian said with just a set of injectors you're looking at a 400bhp engine. its just sitting there ready to go in. Give him a call and tell julian I told you about it, thats if your interested. If I had the money I would have snapped it up as it would be one of a kind.
