The increasing number of valid complaints from consumers engaged in the purchase of vehicles has prompted the Competition and Consumer Affairs Commission (CCAC) to alert consumers to have the vehicles they intend to purchase thoroughly checked by a mechanic of their choice before signing off on the final agreement.
Already for 2023, the CCAC said in a press release yesterday that it has received 27 complaints related to the purchase of vehicles amounting to the value of $61,534,709. This reflects a 108% increase compared to the corresponding period last year.
