engine has been raped

[SUSS8]

Yeah but there are people out there who are not mechanically minded and when they ask as to why it's making a certain noise the dealer can easily reply somewhere along the lines of "oh it's normal for this model car, they all do it" so your going to expect to get jibbed.

One instance when a good mate and I went to look at a car for him a while back. It was a vs statesman and there was a bit of knocking coming from the rear diff, whining noise, tranny held gears too long and would eventually kick into gear. And when asked his reply was "na mate it's normal, it's the way the car has been built because it's a more luxury version and even mine does it I have the same model car". We arent no fools we had an idea of problems that the car would have had but I mean if we didn't know and agreed with him my mate would have bought it I mean the bloke was also offering a roadworthy so what could have gone wrong?

If you are still dealing with this, go back to Holden and pay them for a report which spells out the issues with the car in writing.

This is then the basis for you to demand the car be completely repaired to good condition (sell it then) or get your money back from the dealer you purchased it through.


Number 39 on the list is interesting "What will my $5 get me?"

[DAKSTER]

Haha is this list true?

Yep. Readers Digest survey of their readers. Thousands of responses, they only listed 45 categories to choose from, so the only people less trustworthy than car salesmen, in the general publics view, are politicians and telemarketers.
