Having lived in Birmingham in the past, the problem and reason why there are so many negative reviews for car purchases in the area, is partially due to the fact that its full of here today gone next week car supermarket type garages (or car supermarket garages that sell you a dodgy car one week and then when you go back, you find they've changed the name and signage slightly and are telling you its now a totally different company even though the staff are the same - I experienced this a few times). Buying private sale in Birmingham probably isn't that much worse than buying elsewhere.

They change the company name so often because they sell dodgy cars. The customers complain but never get their money back so they take them to court and win. The owners don’t wanna pay the debt so they just dissolve the business and open a new one and the same place to avoid paying. They’re usually selling dodgy cars at higher prices because they’re actually just fronts for money laundering

We averaged around 16mpg (UK) across the whole journey, after having given it a tune up. The highlight - fitting 9 people in with comfort. 3 in the front bench, 3 in the middle row, 3 facing out the back as we drove to a food festival in New Orleans.

I suppose it depends who you buy your car off in the first place. I've been to see other cars in Birmingham that were listed online only to find out that the sellers were running chop shops and unrecorded accident repair dealerships. Which is why Car Vertical or alternative check is so vital before making your purchase, unless its unrecorded. Then it's still just a gamble!

This Range Rover suffers from the same issue mine did. My one also came with multiple key fobs. The issue is that RF Security Receiver has a BMW design flaw. If you park it in an area of WiFi or in a car park that uses WiFi based CCTV, it wakes up the security system drains the battery a bit and shuts down. It keeps doing this until the battery is flat. Eventually the car refuses to start the car. Car attack sensor? So you go to the dealership and get it paired back to the car again. The dealership doesn't know what it is and then offers the solution of a NEW key fob! Guess what, it didn't solve the problem! A few key fobs later and a Internet search with other Range Rover owners and they told me that the RF Receiver was known to have this fault and was updated with a newer version. It fixed it! If you go to the forums, you'll see hundreds of people post the same thing

The term don’t buy a car from Birmingham comes from the 70’s as going back then they used to put a lot of salt on the roads so you could guarantee they would be rotten underneath, those days are gone and nowadays cars are treated underneath so really there is no more a risk buying a car from brum than anywhere else in the country.

I went to see a Fiat 500 in Birmingham, dodgy car repair place selling it on an industrial estate, it was just left out on the road full of condensation, I could see damage even inside the engine bay, it had stripes done with a brush, and on a test drive it would 'sometimes' pull strongly to the right as if something was very seriously loose or broken in a dangerous way.

Congrats with the Rangy. I did a photoshoot a few years ago, with that exact Silk Cut Jaguar XJR9 from the museum, driven (and man-handled) by John Nielsen, while telling stories from the good old Le Mans days. It was so extremely loud, that we had to shoot it, in an old RAF airfield, a good two hour drive from Manchester, because of the noise regulations. But man, did it sound good!
