And as a car dealer himself, we asked the ComPol about the complications that come with the job, and what could push a dealer to take such drastic actions. He had advice for both dealers and those who want to purchase vehicles.
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"I don't think that is something a car dealer thinks about. They have many people who are car dealers. I personally, I ensure that if it is that you are going to enter into business with people, you must give people what they asked for. And if you made a contract or a promise to do something for a person, i.e. bring in a vehicle by a particular time, you must ensure you bring that vehicle in by a particular time."
"But again, persons who are buying vehicle need to be more responsible in terms of knowing who they are buying vehicles from. And likewise, do not give all your money to people. If it is that you want someone to bring a vehicle for you, give them maybe half of the money or a certain portion of the money. When you receive your vehicle upon delivery to you, you pay the balance."
"Do not take all your money and give it to some of these car dealers because the truth is you will be conned out of your money. So again, just do a little bit more due diligence in terms of knowing who you're buying and what you're buying."
