DELAYED Finance deal cancelation under 6 month warranty

My concern *** Sen on 20-Feb-2024. It seems consumers get the after sale service we are entitled once.we complain/review on HelloPeter....I am hoping this will be escalated to someone besides the person who is not responding to my emails, Meghan Springher.

I took possession of 2013 BMW 1 series F20 eith 143 000km on the odometer on 19 Sep 2023. On 31 Jan-2024, after I did 1756km, the vehicle went into limp.mode and oil was leaking same place I finance for it to be fixed by one of your approved workshops.

Timeline of getting Webuycars to attend to a financed vehicle still under 6 month warranty broken down as follows: *31/01/2024-Reported breakdown of vehicle to salesperson who told me the next day to contact the sales manager *31/01/2024-No response from WBV, I took the vehicle to an RMI approved workshop who informed me I cannot drive the vehicle and he will.contact WBC and send quote to do diagnostics, investigate drive train error and find oil leak. *07/02/2024- Received proof of payment just before close of business for workshop to investigate vehicle issues *09/02/2024-I got my vehicle back from the workshop informing me if I drive it, it will very serious damage and it should be parked. *14/02024- WBC received the report in mechanical issues for the BMW from the workshop. The sales manager phoned and told me they will cancel the finance deal but I have to buy another car from them. I thought I was entitled to either repair, replacement or refund....not you must buy another vehicle?? I felt bul**** into buying other vehicle and started looking and found a Nissan Juke, which I cancelled after being approved due to loaded costs on vehicle-from Purchase price of R106900 to R150200 to be financed!!! Cancelled that deal *20/02/2024-Tow truck driver was informed to collect BMW.from me *21/02/2024- Vehicle was collected at 07:30am from me in Kleinbaai and arrived at Brackenfell branch approx 11am same day *28/02/2024-Finance company informed me WBC requested settlement quote and was emailed to them. WBC have until 09/03/2024 to settle.

Question to WBC..how long will it take for you to settle the finance, it has been 4 weeks just to get to this point which I find ridiculous...never in my life have i felt like a beggar, I am entitled to your after sale customer service...in the meantime I had to pay another installment to the finance company on 26/02/2024 when you were already in possession of the under warranty broken down vehicle.for almost a week....I would appreciate a refund please, cause it's seems like each task took a week, did you delay this on purpose todrop the settlement? Whatever the season for you taking 4 weeks to cancel a finance deal for a broken down vehicle under warranty, I find it very unfair and very unprofessional.

What happens to the5 x installments i paid Oct-2023 to Feb-2024....the insurance payments on the vehicle? I am unable to get another vehicle financed until this BMW had been settled and off my name, I am a woman living on my own stranded 6km from the nearest shop, no family and no means of transport, but shuttling which costs me after I have paid for a car which you have in your possession after you fetched it? Please can you attend to this as a matter.if urgency as my emails and phone calls to Head Office and Branch level are.falling on deaf ears.

Thanks for your reply, but I am not interested in Apologies...I would like some action please. When will WeBuycars be settling the finance of the broken down vehicle please? Your company recieved it on Wednesday morning (28 Feb) , I sent an email as well to Meghan Springher....no feedback. Almost 5 weeks without transport...I think I have been i patient enough with WeBuyCars, I am beyond frustrated with your lack of customer service and you avoiding your responsibilities to provide that. No need investigate, I bought a car, it broke down under the 6 month warranty,....repair, replace or refund....keep to your promises please.
