Finally!! I\'ve got one!!

Take the car aqs a temporary measure, tell them to get your car back and only then pay then the remainder amount. You need some sort of guarantee that you will get your car back.

Alternatively, get your money back off them for the full car.

To say I\'m pi55ed off with the whole situation right now is an understatement!

They have promised a full refund at any time I choose.

load a car destined for uk onto a nz dest ship is farcical ..demand full refund plus interest and either source thru reputable importer or there are plenty of cars allready here...ur money has been earning interest all this time

Lol, in fact, I am taking delivery of one more today. 1995 Bathurst on an N plate, rebuilt, black with Mazdaspeed alloys, sideskirts and very clean.

Aah man, this sucks for you Rob!
Seeing as they have offered the refund I would definately go for it along with some sort of extra compensation to cover the lost interest and to stop you from telling everyone on the forum they are a pile of s**t, (we\'ll pretend you never said a word!)

There does seem to be a fair few nice examples already on our fair isle, and that way you get to see it before you buy so you know for sure if its a good\'un.

Get the money back and get as far away from that company as possible mate!

I\'ll wait and see what this one in Manchester looks like before I make a final descision.

Freddy.. you have PM.

I guess I aught to finish this saga off.
A day or so after I made the last post about the car in Manchester I found another FD locally for sale with a fresh rebuild.
I called Group20 (the company I had been dealing with) and requested a full refund which they said would be returned to me within a few days. After a couple of weeks had passed with no sign of the money Patrick (director of Group20) called me to inform me that the company had gone bust. As you can imagine my heart sank.
He did tell me though that to keep from tarnishing their personal names they would be arranging a personal loan in order to refund me, but I would have to wait another 3 weeks..... I wasn\'t too hopefull of ever seeing the money again by this point.
Anyhoo.. this had screwed me right up with purchasing the local car I\'d found and even after scraping together every penny I could find I could just about cover the cost of the car and nothing else (ins/tax/etc..) which forced me to get an unwanted bank loan.
To cut a long and very unhopeful 3 weeks short I got a surprise call last Tuesday from Patrick asking for confirmation of my bank details... and would you believe it a full refund has now gone into my account!!! This added to the money from the sale of my old MX3 has now repaid the bank loan!!
I will say after all of the doubting and disbelief of what I was told by the 2 guys from Group20 it would appear that the business was struggling and they were genuinely try to work things out for me, and I was very impressed that they kept their word and refunded me in full.

I am happy to say (for once!!) it\'s all turned out ok!

Thanks to all of you that offered me support in this ordeal!

Rob.

Sorry to drag this old thread up again but I thought it might serve as a warning to some...

It appears that Mr Cox & MR White are trading again under a new name \'Japow\'...
The old website is up and running and appears to be identical to the old \'Group20\' website except throughout the word Group20 has been replaced with Japow.... http://www.import-japanese-cars.com/index.asp

You\'ve been warned!
