A car dealer has been jailed after selling 'deathtrap' vehicles to unwitting customers.
Mohammed Sajad defrauded 11 people misrepresenting so-called 'stunning' motors on eBay, Gumtree, Auto Trader, and Facebook which he provided with forged documents. One victim of his scheme was a man who bought a Ford Ka which was advertised as 'an excellent example', 'exemplary', and 'truly well-loved'.
However, when he drove the newly-purchased car back home to Lancashire, the man could smell petrol and noticed a wet stain underneath it. After inspecting it, he discovered the petrol tank was rusty and corroded, Birmingham Live reports.
