Dodgy Bristol Bongo seller - several aliases?

Talk about non-Bongo stuff. BUT KEEP IT CLEAN....there are children watching. Smut, filth, and anything offensive will not be tolerated and removed immediately.

As said ...... Another week, another alias, another bongo, another mug, another profit? :shock: another dream ruined :oops: stop funding his dodgy practice! Sounds like the little lad is running it now

Hi,

Couple of interesting stories there. One day he is going to do it to the wrong person and the Fire Brigade will have some work to do. Has anybody got a name for the garage that did the dodgy MOT?

Mmmm dodgy garage name ......I haven't got it and I don't know if my friend will still remember it although I feel he should under the circumstances. I will ask him and pm you if I find out. Caz

Well they are still trading Bongos. Sold mine to them!

I checked my bank statement and the deposit was from.... Qureshi - the wife :-)

They paid a fair price for the condition and mileage and sold it on for another £1k. I found out as the new owner rang me to ask about the cambelt.

She made up a story about a Bongo Purchase falling through due to a bereavement, and then bought mine.

I can tell you that in this instance, they bought a good van, and sold a good van. Though they lied to me about being private buyers.

I think that's the thing. They trade in dreams, not after sales warranty. Unless you stay on full alert, you could as easily buy a pup as a good un. But there's some who've done fine buying from this source. Yours is a case of the latter although the implication is they paid £1k over the odds for it (personally though, I'd rather have paid over the odds for a good one than buy trouble at a bargain price ;-) )!

Does anyone know their eBay id? I am watching some from a Bristol garage and the listings I'm watching keep changing with different pictures and all the details are sketchy...

Ahhhhhh, found it, and yes, it's him. Shame. He looked like he had some good stock but I think I'll go elsewhere!

Still on there tonight too.... He's now using a few different locations in and around Bristol - presumably trying to disguise/hide his reputation!
