A man bought a pre-owned Mercedes-Benz GLC300 from used car dealer Carro and ended up spending more than $40,000 on repairs within a year."The engine warning light came on despite multiple repairs,” he recounted.
In response to a Stomp query, a Carro spokesperson said the Stomper already had his case dismissed by the Small Claims Tribunal in April. “We have reached out to him, prior to his threat of contacting the media, to resolve this but to no avail.” The Stomper said:"If I sell this car to a subsequent buyer due to repair fatigue, this car dealer will again 'certify' it as a grade A car, passing the problem onto another unsuspecting buyer while pocketing the profit.”Of the 1,306 complaints received against the motorcar industry, 60 per cent were related to pre-owned cars.
