Seen a van advertised which looked the part, so I hastily called to secure it. I was asked for a £400 deposit. Few days later I noticed the van was a Cat s write off (My fault for not seeing it), although only stated on motors.com HPI check. His eBay and website adverts didn’t say otherwise. He explained to me the details of the crash and how the damage was “very minimal” and not to worry. So I took a friend of mine whose job is specifically to decide if cars are write offs or not and deciding if repaired write offs are safe to go back onto the road. .I won’t go into to much detail as to what he found but needless to say the van was in terrible condition and by no means in the small accident I was told. I’d paid him the £400 two weeks prior to seeing the van, yet When we got there the headlights were held onto the car with snapped but glued on brackets and the glue was still wet. Multiple parts under the bonnet were loose or hanging off. There was just under 3thousand miles more on the clock then when I made the reservation. When questioned, the attitude started. “Well what do you expect from a write off”. The price of this van was 14grand by the way, and Trust me, the list of things we found goes on and on. Including panel gaps I could fit my whole hand in. After of course declining the purchase. He refused to give me back my £400. Saying I had no grounds for having it back and he advertised the van very honestly and clearly. I feel like I’ve been completely conned out of my money but luckily enough it was only £400 and not 14grand, Although after my friends analysis of his van, he reposted it the next day for £12999. Probably factoring in the £400 he’s stolen from me. On the off chance you are reading this wondering about buying a van from him. The Reg plate for the transit is VU16 VCE; don’t go near it.

"DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE "

Car seemed great on first viewing, within two weeks from viewing to delivery the car had an extra 3000 miles on the clock, two punctures, was in need of two new tyres and a service. The locking nut key had also somehow gone missing. None of the promised paperwork materialised. He was great at the talking but disappeared and has been rude ever since. DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS CONMAN.

Bought a car from PD Cars for a really good price. Drove 300 miles (Newcastle-Manchester return) the next day. No problems with the car at all.

Bought a car from PD Cars recently. It started off well, as they went out of their way to let me see the car. Actually drove it to my house and took me on a test drive. The car had obvious alert lights showing on the dashboard, in particular the ABS breaks and the steering. I was assured by the dealer that this would all be sorted out before I got the car, and he would prep it for sale. The day came for me to purchase and the alert lights were still showing. The car was also scruffy and hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. There was even a piece of slimy banana stuck to the plastic on the passenger side and god knows what wedged in the window, I was assured by the guy that he would sort the issues the following week. He said he had done a few things to sort the car and just had to take it to a garage to get the computer updated. On top of this, the car was advertised as having 84000 miles on the clock, when I bought it, it was nearly 88500. Obviously he’d been using the car himself quite substantially in the meantime. The next week came and I didn’t hear a peep, I had to chase him 3 times and he advised I would have to wait till the following week. Again no contact, so I called again and became more insistent he book it it. Low and behold he finally got back to me and said it was confirmed for the following Monday. I’ve had to go out of my way to get this car sorted, something that should have been sorted before I purchased it. On top of this, when the guy took the car in, instead of returning it straight to me, he had the audacity to tell me he’d been driving it around all day and that there were no more issues!! He said it was better he drove it than for me to have to go back. For some reason he failed to understand why I wasn’t happy about this, and that I shouldn’t be unhappy about ‘a little bit of fuel’. The fact he should have contacted me straight away to tell me my car was ready seemed irrelevant to him. He’s lied about lots of things he originally told me, he backtracks on things and tries to make out he’s doing you a favour, I recorded everything he said so he couldn’t back down, I don’t believe for a second that he only needed to get the computer sorted, the fact he refused to show me the paperwork of the car repair proves this. The guy is shifty, and now I realise I can’t believe a word that comes out of his mouth. Don’t be taken in by the false niceness like I was, I’m too trusting for my own good!, Make sure he’s sorted everything before you hand over any money.

I would never ever buy from this company again, car broke down one day after driving it home, and to this day, it still doesn't work. So I would never recommend, but feel free to make your own mind up but do your research first.
