Arno Lotter from webuycars you're dishonest!
Never buy a car from a guy called Arno Lotter from webuycars P.E branch he is a dishonest sales representative. Few weeks prior to me buying a Jeep Wrangler from them he said since I'll be using bank financing for the purchase he'll have the car looked into and have all items that need attention fixed, and he pointed out that 2 tyres and a tyre pressure sensor as well as the battery and claimed all these needed replacing.
The tyres do look in good condition whether they were truly changed or have always been on the car and in good condition is another story because I wasn't shown the invoice as proof. The battery which he claimed needed replacing was never changed it's the same one that was always there I know this because I have before pictures of the car advert which I took screenshots of and there was no invoice of the new battery shown or given to me either.
As for the tyre pressure sensor still I don't know if it was indeed changed or not because he told me the check tyre pressure light stays on because the repairs shop couldn't reset it though they had put in a new sensor, which is pure lies because he didn't disclose to me that the car has defective brakes and the break discs are worn out needing replacement hence the light stays illuminated.
I also noticed after I pulled up at a filling station for a pit stop that the handbrake on the car is insufficient because when I had the car parked on an incline spot it rolled back unless the gear was on park mode.
This defective break system posed a safety risk to my life since I drove the car From P.E to Jhb there was a chance I could have experienced brake failure while on the road because the wear on the discs is so severe when I pulled out of my garage I could hear a grinding noise I then visually inspected the discs and ran my finger to feel and it is terribly uneven.
I then called Arno to inform him and he pretended not to know, and suggested I go to tyremart for confirmation since I can't visually inspect and also feel the discs with a finger and conclude they're in bad condition, which I did though I didn't go to tyremart but a different reputable break repair center and it was indeed confirmed the discs and pads are so servely worn out it's dangerous and damaging to the calipers to drive the car.
Which I told Arno and he said he we let his manager know and get back to me , today I sent him a message to find out how far it went with his manager and he ignored me. And his silence is so deafening for someone who was breathing down my neck to have me buy from them. But I'm not surprised since this sums up how dishonest he is hence he **** about the illuminated tyre pressure light and also why he didn't offer me a test drive of the car because he knew I'd pick up the breaking system faults.
