Dodgy Trader on Watchdog

[Laurel Green]

On BBC1 now, well it will be coming up later in the programme - dodgy Kent motor trader selling on cars that have been written off without declaring such.

How can you miss the kinked panel on that first car!!

[kentmotorcompany]

Have I missed it?

Only the first bit - they have yet to go see the proprietor/challenge them.

Couldn't watch it, I was too busy fending off trading standards!

[Laurel Green]

A tad uneconomical with the truth I'd say. Will be interesting to see how the repairs have been carried out.

Just reaffirms two vital things when buying:

• Always HPI a car
• ALWAYS read what you're going to sign

Just a small knock!!!!
Maybe a new bumper.

[Paul v8]

Yeh that clio, looked liked a minor scratch and lick of paint on bonnet, proper dodgy peeps!!

[Jez64]

Putting these signs on should be fun!

[Jem0911]

Fooking shocking repair.
Blades behind the bumper.

[Negative Creep]

And they say there's no such thing as bad publicity......

[Laurel Green]

Looked like every other car on their lot was a cat C. As said, check, check and, check again before parting with the hard-earned.

A car dealer near me, when found out by the Cook Report, stuck a big banner up saying....

"As seen on TV"

Got to laugh......

Not in any way condoning the quality of the repair but is a pedestrian really going to pass through the bumper to hit the "blades". Typical bbc hamming it up, I expect they would be bounced over or under the car, unless you pinned them against a wall, in which case you're probably trying to kill them anyway..

[Matt UK]

What was the name of the Kent car dealer?

[Jem0911]

Small car company? Something like that.
