    Shopping for that new car can be stressful. You want to make sure you get the best deal possible, of course, because you ain’t no fool. It is worth keeping in mind then that sometimes a deal is too good to be true, and this hijacking ring is all the proof you need.

    Fun fact before you read any further, you can rest easy with THIS DEAL from MINI on their new 5-Door for just R4 499 per month…no deposit!

    It seems it is the VW guys who are in the crosshairs, with more than a 100 cases under investigation since the beginning of last year. Exactly how are they pulling this all off? TimesLive quotes Police spokesman Warrant Officer Basil Seekoei (what a name):

    These men are part of a larger group who pose as VW employees in Gauteng. They advertise on Facebook and WhatsApp that they are able to get cars for a great price directly off the factory line at VW and also have access to demo models with low kilometres…

    Once the potential buyer contacts the advertisers and places an order, the men state that they will put in the order with VW. In fact the order is placed with hijackers, who go out and trail the VW employees before either hijacking them or stealing their vehicle.

    Ballsy my friends, but it seems they may have to find something else to fill their time. Police claim to have cracked the syndicate after an arrest in Port Elizabeth led to three men being tried in court yesterday.

    Let this be a lesson in caution prospective buyers. Whatsapp is not a marketplace, it is a means to avoid actual conversation with friends through the medium of text.
