    Recently I changed my car and was aghast to see it advertised 3 weeks later on the net with 115,000 less on the clock and offering a full service record. How wrong.What can I do to help the next unsuspecting owner

    Tell the consumer body - Director of Consumer Affairs. www.nca.ie and do it a.s.a.p. - make sure they call you to confirm they've got the complaint.
    Tell the SIMI.
    Tell the garage who you're telling and give them This link while you're at it.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I dont want to put a bigger downer on things but the car you bought to replace your old one-if it wasn't new from the same dealer i would be getting that checked over pronto also. If they've done it to one car they've done it to a few more along the way...

    "The company was fined €400 with €1,100 costs and witness expenses." Thats a pitiful low punishment for an offense like that, the article goes on to say "Suburban Autos was lucky it only had to pay out €1,500 as the maximum fine for the offence has since been increased to €3,000, Ms Fitzgerald said."
    I bet the owner of the garage was laughing to himself when he heard the fine. Granted his business will suffer locally now as a result of the bad press but there will still be unsuspecting customers down the road...
