Failed dealer causing trouble on other side of the world

Richard Edwards · 0 comments

wbacA trader who left hundreds out of buyers out of pocket in Queensland in late 2012, is now causing waves in his native United Kingdom.

Richard Burbage Kar Land Pty Ltd, trading as We Buy Any Car, left hundreds of consumers out of pocket and skipped the country in late 2012 – his family walking away from their home in the process.

Burbage has now surfaced as being associated with a UK car dealership that is facing stacks of complaints from customers, that they were sold vehicles with significant defects, before the dealer shut its doors and moved to an alternate location.
