Refund granted to Gauteng man over tampered mileage and undisclosed accident history.
A Gauteng man who became embroiled in a bitter dispute with a used-car dealership after discovering that a vehicle he had purchased allegedly had tampered mileage and an undisclosed accident history has finally received a refund after returning the car.
The refund comes after IOL reported that Jan Joubert Jooste was in a dispute with GP Combrink Car Sales CC after purchasing a 2019 Toyota Corolla towards the end of 2025 through finance provided by Absa.
The vehicle was purchased for approximately R230,000, with monthly repayments of more than R5,200 before the account was eventually settled.
Jooste said he paid the bank at least R300,000.
