BUYER BEWARE

I purchased a second hand car from JGM Motors at Coalford Farm for my daughter in November 2017, the vehicle came with a 30 day warranty. The car turned out to be defective, not to a standard of mechanical worthiness that would reasonably be expected, the dealer failed to make good any of these problems or to honour his warranty. I gave the dealer every opportunity to repair the vehicle or compensate me for my losses, calling him 7 times, sending 5 emails and 2 letters by registered post before seeking redress through the small claims court. The County Court awarded a judgement against JGM Motors for the full value of my claim, but when the bailiffs went to enforce this judgement at the dealership where I bought my daughters car at Coalford Farm, they were informed that JGM ceased trading in October 2017. The company that is now trading from Coalford Farm is called JGM Car Sales and is not liable for the debts of JGM Motors. The lady that signed our receipt for the payment for my daughter’s car on behalf of JGM Motors is now the Director of JGM Car Sales. JGM Motors have now applied to be struck off at Companies House without filing accounts to March 2017, these are still overdue. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering purchasing a vehicle from this family ran business should have an AA or RAC inspection carried out before handing over any payment.
