Must admit, I wasn't impressed with them at first but the more I play with it, the more it's grown on me...
Yeah, they're definitely an up and coming band.

Sounds like the name of a band you'd hear John Peel introducing.
'And now on Radio 1, Tedious Penis with their new single, "Private Capark Invader" '
I've moved onto the strokes!'and I played this record last week, but I'm playing it again because I've since discovered it was meant to be played at 33rpm'
Was expecting this reply, but not as soon as the very first post, well done. As it happens I can't actually see the car park from our flat.Stop being a curtain twitcher and get on with your own business?
How private is it? Signposted? If it's signposted as private road/car-park with parking rules stipulated (i.e. explicitly states: "this car park is for use of residents and visitors only" for example") then unless they're coming to visit a resident then they shouldn't be there. It'd be for the land-owner to take action against though so ultimately the end result is boxing stance.
Outside of it looking like another dodgy-repair trader, dealers listing cars that have been sold is a common tactic to get somebody on the phone to them "but sir we do have THIS one in at a great price".
It presumably matters to him because he's the one paying perhaps several grand in service charges a year to keep things like the carpark maintained and he probably isn't that impressed with people freeloading. So, it's not fair to say it doesn't matter.
It's a bit like somebody using your drive for photos of their car - does it matter? Of course it does. It's the same concept, in a block of flats with a service charge etc the carpark is your private drive.
Have you lodged a complaint with the lease owner and/or building management?
In all seriousness I can see three issues here.
I don't think you can do anything about issue number 1, selling damaged cars on ebay is perfectly legal. Relisting of sold items is indeed odd, but not illegal. I can imagine they will often sell a car only to find the seller backs out when they realise how much it will cost to transport or repair.
- Your concern that they are no trading legally
- Their use of you're private car park
- Them driving unroadworthy vehicles on the highway
Issue no2, the use of the car park is probably a civil matter. In an ideal world you'd contact whoever manages the building. They'd send a cease and desist letter and the problem would stop. But in reality getting the buildings company to send the letter (even if you can find a physical address for them) will be hard work. And it will probably be ignored.
Issue no3 is probably your best angle of attack. Presumably they're having to drive these vehicles on the road. If you're persistent in reporting you may find the police will come out and might catch them in the act.
These will be the sort of scum that will make the OP's life an absolute misery if he approaches them.Sad but true.Have you tried....speaking...to...them?
Well you're very trusting of the Motors forum to share their eBay IDs
