Be careful when buying a used car

Earlier this year my husband had the misfortune of buying a 2019 Toyota double-cab from Mortimer Toyota Newcastle for R480000. He soon found that the protection plate and one of the inner linings holding the one mud flap were virtually falling off. The windscreen was chipped, the battery dead and the front and back tyres didn’t match. It would seem they’re not too choosy about the vehicles they take in. But his biggest problem was the paper work. He was told one lie after another every week for six months. Always telling him they’ll get back to him and never did. He eventually took the paperwork and is handling it himself. He’s still awaiting the service records as promised and of course the two Toyota jackets which never materialised. Letter shortened.
