EAE motors . Be careful

Be very careful when buying cars from them. I first went to see the car advertised in vereeniging. They had to bring the car from krugersdorp. After viewing the car, I noticed a few faults, engine light was on, clutch was abnormally hard. So the salesman said I need to speak to the owner. I expressed my concerns, he told me it's an old car, what do I expect, he then said he'll give me a month gaurantee on the engine, gearbox and cvs. He said he'll give me a 5k discount. I said I'll need to think about it. He got angry and said I made him bring the car from krugersdorp. I apologized and left. I really liked the colour of the car so bought the car a few weeks later. I did a transfer, no finance and was assured that the car had just been serviced. They took the car for a dekra inspection and delivered the car the Monday. I was surprised at the cape Town number plates. The car didn't feel right, with clucking noises and the inside full of super glue, where the gear booth was repaired poorly and loose and coming out as you drive. The Thursday I got stuck with the car. Had did it towed to my mechanic. He told me that the alternator had siezed, the clutch needs to be replaced, the car had not been serviced, the CVS are gone, the car has rust that has been concealed. I called them to explain and asked if it could get a refund even if it was not in full. I was told that I bought the car at a discount I should take the discount money and repair the car. Bearing in mind the retail on the car is 40k and paid 85k, thinking its a good realiable car. I don't know dekra passed the car. I was told that I signed a contract that now exempts me from the CPA. I repaired the mechanical issues 15k later. The rust needed to be repaired as well. I asked them if they would buy the car back at a loss to me of course, or if I could buy another car from them and trade this one in. I'm still waiting. I sold the car disclosing all faults at a huge loss to me.

Don't think that because dekra has approved the cars, it's even road Worthy, that's why they do it. If you do it, the car will fail. Don't take their word or surerity. The contract you sign, cedes protection from CPA. Think three times before buying from them.
