High Court rules Sandton Repo Cars must refund R459 900 for defective VW Golf sale
The Mercury
|November 19, 2025
THE High Court in Gauteng has delivered a significant ruling in favour of consumer rights, dismissing an appeal by Sandton Repo Cars concerning a contentious vehicle sale.
In a case that has garnered attention for its implications on consumer protection practices in South Africa, the court upheld a prior decision mandating the dealership to refund R459 900 to a consumer who purchased a 2018 Volkswagen Golf, which, unbeknownst to the buyer, had sustained damage in a previous accident.
The dealership turned to the court after the National Consumer Tribunal ruled in June 2024 that it had violated the Consumer Protection Act by refusing to collect the faulty vehicle and issue a full refund.
