Car park dealers anger trade and the public

SOME public car parks are being used to store and sell vehicles on a commercial scale, it has been alleged.

There have been complaints that spaces are being taken up by cars with ‘for sale’ signs in their windows in places such as Southside and Vazon.

One garage owner, who did not want to be named, said people were buying up MoT failures cheaply at UK auctions and selling them from the side of the road to Guernsey motorists without any proper checks being conducted on them.

Guernsey Motor Trades Association chairman Iain Carse said he was aware that there was an issue with some individuals trading from the side of the road and warned against buying their cars. (from GEP)
