Believe the 1 star reviews. DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE

A fantastic start when I was promised to be collect from the airport to come and view a car I had found on their website. This was organized on Monday to come and view on Wednesday.

They were an hour late to collect me. However everything seemed in order when I viewed the car, it seemed to run well and was in good condition (the new paint job was a worry), I discussed in length any issues and I was promised many times that from their side there shouldn't be any and they only sell quality vehicles. Needless to say I asked to purchase the vehicle as it seemed a fair price for the car in its condition.

I was supposed to drive the vehicle back from Randburg to Pmb that day which is the reason for the early flight and collection.

I ended up sitting at the dealership until 7 that night with endless dodging from the owner and staff. This only started after the payment was done and I then was told at around 3 that the vehicle hadn't had its COR done yet and it shouldn't take too long (all while I had to sit and just wait). Firstly it's impossible for the vehicle to have passed COR as the seat was ripped even when I eventually got it back, they had to change the windscreen wiper and the lights and tyres. But the worst is when you get it back to your mechanic he says they would never have passed it due to many more issues. I wonder how he gets it through, well I think we all know.

Anyway I now find out the gearbox is completely destroyed and needs to be replaced. Nice to know what kind of cars these people sell. Even the mechanic across the road said he had looked at it in length and it is all good. Seems like the mileage it has on the clock (60000kms) may be false as the vehicle should never have done a gearbox already.

Anyway no apology from the owner who made me book, and pay for my own hotel for the night as they had made me late by being so disorganized. If you do, by some misfortune, find yourself at this establishment make sure you don't let him hide behind this ******* warranty he offers to by pass the guarantee most dealers give to a customer when purchasing a vehicle (3-6months any issues will be repaired by them). Because as you drive out of the store you are on your own even if it's 10 m down the road when the car goes bang (which I'm sure it will).

Horrific experience and I will make sure I never go there again and also try help other would be buyers miss out on a terrible ordeal.
