Vetplant Posted April 11 Share At what point is "name & shame" acceptable on BH? Correct answer: As soon as the Seller's/Buyer's/WoodCollector's name rhymes with Buan Tewsher Rowl, BaGearA, ChrisF and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not read the complaints on hellopeter, but what i've picked up is that people are unhappy that they are buying cars with problems. WBC business model is "Here is an independent report (Dekra) telling you what they picked up, you buy this car accepting this report and the fact that it may not have picked up all the faults." i.e. Voetstoots. They dont hide this fact, but people just see the "cheap" price and go gaga and then when the honeymoon period is over they are sorry.

Either all 2nd hand traders comply with CPA, or it may as well be scrapped. Decra is a feeble excuse .... Sorry, their ethics dont sit well ...

The flip side of this is that people are all to happy to have WBC buy their heap of rubbish from them when dealers wont offer proper trade-ins because the condition of the car. Edit. B.T.W. I dont like WBC, they have screwed up the car market in SA and others have jumped onto the bandwagon. Edited April 11 by The Ouzo Rowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nox1111 Posted April 11 Share Dekra's reports for WBC is not independent, WBC pays the Dekra staff - and they do the tests inhouse... Dekra does not recognize said tests when you query them. but that's a whole different discussion. A new thread just for that is worthwhile.

I dont like WBC, they have screwed up the car market in SA and others have jumped onto the bandwagon. Why ? MANY people are not technically inclined and not able to "check out" a car. Thus the CPA, to ensure dealers do their due diligence .... to protect clients. Fancy word play by WBC makes a mockery op CPA. Just a matter of time before they are taken to task on this ....

I'm aware they have inhouse Dekra inspectors, but was not aware they were not affiliated to Dekra at all. Surely Dekra would have an issue with this ? Having in house people affiliated to an external company is not unusual, but operating under an external company name and not being affiliated IS unusual.
