Jun. 2018
Pros:
I got the car I ordered after threatening to go to the ACCC. I did then follow through as it is illegal to use a bait and switch model which CarTrawler employs: advertise a top model car at a heavily discounted price and when then IMMEDIATELY supply another cheaper vehicle. Fraudulent. I hope you are fined or banned from the Australian market for being a part of this deceptive behaviour.Cons:
I liked the car but it took several hours of phone calls to the fraudulent companies involved, three of them, to force their hand.4.0 Mediocre
