Proudly contributed to that share price drop.

They bought my wife's old car for R55k. I kept track of it once it listed. Slowly saw the price go from R60k to R50k to R45k. Then they had a fake auction for it which had an "offer" for it for R43k. That ended and the car was re-listed at R43k and then it was sold.
 
The second hand car prices were a bubble for a long time; it was doomed to pop when the Chinese started bringing in brand new cars that were in some cases cheaper than the prices being demanded for secondhand cars. Anyone who bought a secondhand car during that lead up was well aware that the second-hand asking price was usually higher than the book value of the car to start with. I have no sympathy for any company that exploited the market.
