Hi guys,
Well today I purchased a VS Sedan from a Dealership. Complete with RWC and 3 year mechanical warranty.
Now without going into alot of detail, I have a feeling that the car isn't roadworthy at all, there are some squeaking noises here and there, the steering wheel is off centre a bit, the engine light comes on when driving the car and the car doesn't feel like it's running the best either. Also tonight when I was putting new rims on the car I couldn't see any shock absorbers at all.
I had my suspicions when I went to pick up the car at around 11am today and the Dealer handed me the WRONG RWC. The RWC he gave me was for a VS Ute. I told him that this wasn't the RWC for the car I am purchasing and he tried to call the auto shop that did the RWC, but they didn't answer.
he then said that the mechanic, who from the sounds of it is a good mate of his, probably wouldn't be in till about 12:30 and that I should go kill some time and he'll give us a call when he talks to the mechanic, and get him to fax the correct RWC to the Dealership. I say OK, and go have some lunch.
12:30 on the dot the Dealer calls me and says he has the RWC for my car and that the mechanic had faxed it to him. I ended up purchasing the car anyway as I need a car for work.
Early next week I plan to take the car to one of my local auto shops and have them look over it, just to confirm whether the car is roadworthy or not.
Now...
If infact my local mechanic comes to the conclusion that the RWC I have for the car is dodgy, and there are issues with the car that need to be addressed asap, how would I go about reporting the Dealership & the auto shop that completed the RWC?
I'm quite annoyed at this, and i'd like to take this as far as I possibly can IF my suspicions are correct.
Thanks.
