That's a massive blow to the individuals losing their jobs, and to the local economy
But anyone who's been through the doors at Carcraft will know their merchanise was overpriced compared to the market average resale values, and their business model relied on pushing people into financial deals a lot of them could barely afford, under the type of duress that made it difficult to leave via the nearest exit without being accosted by a suit |  |

Terrible news for all the staff being out of work, but as far as company's go, they were as dodgy as they come so no huge surprise. |  |
