Default BPP / Burton Prestige and Performance - Anyone used them?

As title, company named "BPP" which is Burton Prestige and Perfmance car sales in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire. Mainly have Subarus, Evo's and other performance Jap cars.

Seen a potential car on their Piston Heads stock list and just wondered if anyone has ever had any dealings with them at all?

Any comments and help welcome

Bought my hawk STi from them a couple of years ago, they seemed nice enough lads, I did go to view a blue hawk sti that was there and it was in a bad state paint wise, I was ready to walk away when I spotted a black hawk sti in the back which looked mint, anyway ended up buying the black one and im a really fussy person when it comes to my cars.

justin price there in a industrial unit near the Citroen garage and ATS is, just off the Wellington Road!!

I bought my old JDM Blobeye from BPP and to be fair I cant really fault them.

Nice bunch and they always seem to have a decent selection of motors :-)

I'm currently looking at their Hawkeye White STI... there's only this thread and one on the lancer register that mentions them... on google... I'm sceptical of dealers at the best of times, even more so of ones I've never heard of before.... Not knocking them atall here... I've only read good things on these two threads (3 cars bought) but still....

Go view the car, trouble is with white hawks there quite a rare car, so you will have to travel anyway when they come up for sale(unless your lucky, and its on your doorstep) like most dealers they buy the cars in, so you already know they bought it £2k cheaper privately, so there hoping like you that they have bought a good/decent car, but like anything buying private you can still buy a nail.

Like I already posted on this thread, I went to look at a blue hawk and it was a nail(very bad paint) but come back with a mint black hawk which I owned for over a year with no problems at all.

I have no issues with travelling for the right car, but I like to make sure it's the right car before leaving - I'm in newcastle and previously travelled to Portsmouth for my last sti classic (what a day that was!!!)

Anyway - I've sacked BPP off anyway, took two days to get back to my email/voicemails, didn't answer any of my questions, said he was interested in a PX against my CLS500 and asked for more info on it so spent time organising paperwork etc for pictures, sent them all off and heard NOTHING back atall - first chap said he was holidaying in Dubai and his brother was dealin with the business, no excuse. (Still no pics or original/genuine questions about the car answered)

Seems they can't be bothered to sell their cars at the SINGLE worst time of the year to actually sell cars... Insane.
Was going to copy the emails into this post as proof - but I'm done.
