Misrepresentation by car sellers


The headlines of The New Paper shown above, caught my attention. It reported that customers of a parallel importer felt short-changed after learning that their cars were manufactured in 2005 instead of 2006 which was stated on the registration papers.
Such matter would take time and require the intervention of the authority to resolve.
That begs the frequently asked question: Is it worth the savings buying a car from parallel importer?
In case you think that official agent can do no wrong, here’s an interesting case study.

A close friend wrote to me 2 weeks ago. He was looking for email addresses of the head honcho in a reputed automotive company….. (see self-explanatory mail list herein).
Fortunately, the management of the automotive company looked into his problem and accepted full responsibilities for the mistakes. Shortly, my friend told me that the matter has been settled to his reasonable satisfaction. That’s a happy ending :)
