I don't know anything about cars so I would probably be the sort of people these salesmen look to target. For me, 4 wheels, cheap and fuel efficient would be enough. Thankfully, cars aren't so commonly bought! Otherwise, I'd have been screwed over thousands!
Thanks for the heads up. Will watch out when buying cars in the future.
You represent the majority of car buyers out there.
If you are concerned about a car that you are interested in, ask friends or relatives who own the particular model about possible issues and their experience with the brand and model, or seek out car clubs in facebook or other social media platforms.
Thanks for the advice. Luckily, no plans on buying cars any time soon.
