SMD car auctioneers are a bunch of ******* They advertise incorrectly then hit you with the fine print about terms and conditions. They have no sympathy whatsoever about the public as long as the money is in their account. I found out out that I am not the only victim. This company needs to be investigated as there is ***** taking place. Karma is a dish that will be served to SMD.
