Buying a small van

in Motoring
Over 5 years ago I looked at a small van. It was a dealer pretending to be a private seller. Anyway, I looked at the underside of the vehicle, and noticed the rear wheels were not totally aligned. Apparently, it is called roping, the rear axle/wheel support is damaged, so the seller uses a fine rope to align it - the fact that it is a death risk, does not matter (to the seller), so , please be warned!!
