Driven a car out of the dealers only for it to blow up or break down minutes down the road!

No. Why! I usually road test and check the car out before handing any money over.

I drove one for about 1km to the gas station, because it was absolutely empty, and I wasn't sure it would make it even that far.Then it would not start as the battery had died.(Bought from Oval imports / Camstain1)But to be fair, the guy did come and jumpstart the car.

so the only fault was a weak battery then. Can easily happen if a car's been sitting in a yard, but I expect this thread is more about naming the seller, right!

I don't know why the OP started the thread - you could be right.And yes, a weak battery was no drama for me, and the salesman helped me out, so I was happy.

Yeah, I had bought it and was picking it up.It was a great buy at the time and was an excellent vehicle (diesel van for work purposes).I bought two cars from Oval / Camstain, and had no problems at all.But I LOVED reading the q&a on their auctions, and the feedback.Priceless!
