    Just wondering does anybody know what route the customer went, when taking this case against the garage (dept of consumer/SIMI/Solicitor). I know we can probably only speculate but just in case it was mentioned during the court procedure.

    If you haven't yet discussed this with your solicitor then do so asap.

    I was just looking on the SIMI website and it says that if you have a soliciter involved you cannot file a complaint through them (very strange I thought)

    To be honest I would avoid the SIMI. I wouldn't bother trying to get a trade representative body to independently investigate itself!
    This is a legal matter as you were fraudently sold a car. Resolving issues like this is what solicitors are for!

    Aren't SIMI made up of member dealers? If so I just cannot see how they can offer any impartial advice or action to a consumer against one of their own members.

    This van http://www.carzone.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuseaction=car&carID=740002

    traded in to a VW dealer and sold on 'in the trade'. From last weeks trade in mileage of 114K to this weeks advertised mileage of just 40K
