Used cars

First time buying a financed car and I decided to do it through Auto King in Milnerton. Worst decision I ever taken. They rushed me through the deal, not even offering a test drive. I discovered a litany of faults with the used vehicle I bought, from shody body work that was done (which I was not informed about) to faulty tyres, broken lights and missing parts. The only explanation I got from the manager, Craig, is that the car has passed roadworthy with everything that I've pointed out. Worst was when he offered to replace the faulty tyres, only to fit in tyres older than the ones that were originally there when I bought the car. What I'm saying is, do not be fooled. Don't ever let a dealer tell you to look on their website for a car and choose what you want and let them go trough with the financing without you having had a proper look at the actual car and take it for a test drive. Do not be as naive as I was trusting that all should be good because they're "reputable" coz that word is overrated when it comes to the used vehicle industry, you will be hurt so bad!
