Atlantic Moto - Dishonest disclosure

After about a year of looking for a car, I have had unfortunate private dealings with owners trying to sell a car that had been in an accident. This is the reason why I turned to dealerships hoping that this would guarantee transparency and honesty. I contacted Atlantic Moto in Belleville to look at a VW Polo 1.4 Trendline going for R130, 000. Charl met me at my mechanic and spoke nervously and over-confidently about the car. According to him, the car had reversed gently into something so had had a "small knock" but mechanically it was 100% sound and vowed he "would have no doubts about selling this car to anyone". My mechanic immediately saw that this car had been in a major accident and should not be allowed to be sold by a dealership, unless they declared it having had a major accident. I hope people always think to take any cars they wish to buy to a mechanic they know and trust! For not even dealerships can be trusted.
