An Invercargill man has been fined $7500 for selling cars as an unlicensed dealer. Between January 2017 and January this year, McLeod sold 15 vehicles. MBIE registrar of motor vehicle traders and manager of trading standards Stephen O'Brien said McLeod's conviction was one of 18 such convictions in the 2017-18 year. "The number of unregistered and prosecuted traders is increasing, largely due to the growing online motor vehicle market,'' Mr O'Brien said. McLeod was fined $7500 and ordered to pay $130 court costs and a solicitor's fee of $500.
