SMD incorrectly advertise a vehicle. You buy it in aution and receive a totally different vehicle (Advertised 1.4 Turbo on auction. I baught it and received a a 2.4 with no turbo)

Do not buy from them... They advertise a vehicle and then it is a total different vehicle than what they advertised on auction. I wish I could have given SMD a ZERO I sent mails to Jason and Ruan on 15/12/2021. They did not even have the deasonsancy to reply on my mail. See my mail below and decide for yourself if this is unreasonable! Good day Jason,

I purchased the attached vehicle. Paid R7500 to get the vehicle to Pretoria only to find that SMD’s vehicle description has an unreasonable error. I do understand the terms and condition states that you do not take responsibility for an error in description, but this error must be reasonable.

SMD advertised the vehicle as: Jeep Renegade 1.4 Tjet LTD AWD A/T After paying another R650 to take it to a Mechanic I found that it is a 2.4 Trailhawk. It has no turbo. You should have realised that it is not a 1.4 Turbo but a 2.4 normal aspirated.

Can I return the vehicle and be refunded the expenses and purchase price? According to my attorney, (legally) an error must be reasonable, and this is clearly not reasonable. SMD is experienced vehicle sellers, and it is unreasonable for SMD to make this error in a description. (Will you sell a Merc C180 as a C350?)

This is my first vehicle that I bought from SMD to assist me with COVID losses. I now have a vehicle that I cannot repair and sell as I already purchased parts for a 1.4 and these parts are incorrect for the vehicle I purchased. The value and demand between what I received and purchased differ drastically.

Please consider this request favourable. I was planning to buy a lot of vehicles, but this situation leaves me with large debt and in a position that I will not be able to buy any other vehicles in the future. Please do not put me in a position that I loose everything due to a unreasonable error by SMD.
