SG customer buys second-hand BMW, but dealer disappears before defects are fixed
A netizen by the name of Dappy Tan took to social media to complain about a secondhand BMW he bought. Although he told the dealer about the vehicle’s numerous defects, there was little action taken even after the loan for the car was approved, and Mr Tan took the BMW home.
