    In future, when you buy a car never, never, ever buy a car with a "simple fault" that "only costs a few pounds to put right"

    Say you have a car with a fault that costs £30 and 5 minutes to fix, that puts people off buying it. You'd fix it wouldn't you?
    Especially if you were a trader paying "the boy" to tat up/valet the cars?

    Conclusion- they know what the fault is, and it isn't a 5 minute fix.


    Agreed, if you have very minor faults that are cheap to fix then you would fix them before selling the car. For bigger issues, you can still sell the car and make it clear what the problems are, but for cheap "easy to fix" things I completely agree.
