Eventually, he painted the vehicle with phrases such as 'Fraud', 'Fraud' and let the bull drag it.
Since then, they have protested by parking in front of a used car platform agency.
"All vehicles are inspected prior to being registered on the platform," a company representative said. "Customers purchased vehicles through services designed for professional dealers."," he said.
The buyer was responsible for assessing the condition of the vehicle and taking the relevant risks because it was part of a dealer-focused promotion", he explained.
According to a professional inspection report, the car's driving distance was recorded at more than 280,000 km and had a history of serious damage.
The vehicle was rated D, which meant it had to be purchased with care.

However, the used car company refunded the customer for moral responsibility.
Netizens have successfully caught the attention of the cow", "It's a pity that we need to find out and buy used cars."
