False advertising and swindling people out of their money and very poor business ethics IF it is a ligit business.

Hi I have bought 2 vehicles from CMH East Rand, As they gave me a bit more time to get the relavend funds (from a pension fund) that was taking longer that 21days, they never told me that I would be paying any storage fees.

The amount that was advertised for my 2022 Hilux 2.8 GD-6 was R90 000, and they said that is the full price that you pay. I also bought a Cherry Tiggo Pro 4 for the advertised price of R40 000, which they gave me discount of R5 000 because I am taking 2 vehicles.

Then I get an invoice for Tax and customes for R38 999.99, which was suddenly due and had to be paid immediately. And of course the payment was made and then they would have delivered the vehicles to me in Potchefstroom in that weekend of the 15th of march. Then suddenly the truck which should deliver my vehicles, had a broken spring they said.

The next thing when I asked when is my delivery coming, they suddenly had an issue because according to them (Mr Mohammed) the Hilux bakkie selling price was wrongly advertised by R30 000 less, and they demanded that I pay that amount before the can deliver the vehicles. I told them that was a mistake on their side and has nothing to do with me as they need to pay in that short fall, as nobody mentioned any thing about the wrong price through out our dealings, from the person that helped me from the first, using cell nr 078 670 5404, and one of the owners Mr Mohammed using cell nr 073 772 0349.

When I refused to pay the amount of R30 000 they suddenly charged me with R8 500 for storage as well. At the end one of the other managers, I think it's Mr Radebe, said they will pay the R30 000 shortfall and that I had to pay the R8 500 storage fees, before the will give me my vehicles. I made the payment of R8 500 and Mr Mohammed made the payment of R30 000, according to the deposit slip I received from them, but suddenly there was a 72 hours hold on his account before that amount would show to the bankers.

I also send a message to Mr Mohammed and said they will be liable for any storage because of his 72hour hold payment and he agreed to that, because that is none of my fault.

Now today 24 March 2025, I have send a message to them, Mr Mohammed and the first responder to assist me, that the 72 hours are passed so when do I receive my vehicles, and still no response. When I phone they either don't answer or pickup and put the phone down without answering.

I requested that they refund me and they said the cancellation fee is 15% of the amount that I have paid to them already, which roughly is about R30 000. They say I can cancel but that I have to pay the cancelation fee BEFORE I will be refunded. ( I don't think so)

So these guys are quick to take your money and then they don't produce when they should.

I said they have a few options : 1. Deliver my vehicles as requested (which I still hope I will get) 2. Deliver the Cherry Tiggo Pro 4 that was paid in full, and refund me for the Hilux (which they say they can't as the buy of the 2 vehicles are bound in one purchase, 3. Refund me ALL of my funds without your cancelation fee, as you are just dragging their feet.
