Used car madness
published: Monday | May 1, 2006

THE EDITOR, Sir:

I AM having grave concerns about the motor vehicles being imported to Jamaica from Japan by our used car dealers. Many of these units are not for the Jamaican market. Currently, there are persons who have purchased cars that do not have ease of access to parts. Mechanical problems encountered with some of these vehicles cannot be rectified in Jamaica, as the required expertise is not available.

I would like to know who is monitoring these importations and what recourse if any can be had? Many of these motor vehicles only start developing complications after the three months warranty period has expired. It is frustrating for consumers to spend hard-earned cash on these vehicles, for us to park these vehicles only after six months.

I am etc.,
