Jamesc Hypersonic January 11, 2020 Share January 11, 2020 (edited) In the US people will highlight all the things wrong with the car when they sell it. Like brakes need changing and tyre botak etc. I am not sure if this is to prevent getting sued or people do not want someone else to have an accident and get injured or die and they feel responsible for it. Anyway if anyone selling a car with lousy brakes and botak tyres and bad steering maybe a botch repair job on a total loss vehicle I know someone who is very interested to get for his relative and he will even give you a very good price. So sometimes honesty pays. I cannot tell you who is the person looking for this kind of car.

You can go source for botak tires on your own before gifting it to your MIL. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the ad up and clearly spelling out 'factually' the issues, it could potentially have some impact on the perception of the car/model to prospective buyers, especially with it being a very new car. I guess rather than risk that, BM would rather act on this person's issues more proactively in exchange for having him remove the ad. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator January 14, 2020 Share January 14, 2020 Lodge a complaint with our toothless tiger (CASE) also need to pay $50 + 7% GST (to become member) and result NOT guaranteed so might as well pay $58 to sgcarmart for better publicity and wider outreach. Who knows, it might even make it to international news, just like that Subaru F.U.C.K.S 8 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much much more effective to pay the money to sgcarmart than give it to the toothless tiger and support it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronkovic 5th Gear January 14, 2020 Share January 14, 2020 Yes, sometimes it's not about the money, but about the principle. For a new car under warranty, you are entitled to seek a solution for these issues and have the agent rectify them accordingly and proactively. I can emphatise with his frustration because I encountered a similar issue with my G9 Corolla's steering column and it kept going tok-tok-tok and I was told it was 'normal', or would 'go away'; Persistence and negotiation is still needed in order to find yourself a solution, coupled with a lot of frustration in between. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
