Disgruntled customer - Webuycars A **** - Take a mechanic with you.

I went to the Webuycars at Midstream to buy a vehicle, I saw a vehicle I liked, it needed a replacement of wheels as per the Dekra report. I took it for a test drive, there was a light on, however the sales person said its nothing major and could be from the fact that I needed to replace the wheels. It was a category A vehicle. I then wanted to secure the vehicle and he said we need to invoice. I then proceeded with the invoice and took a picture of the light to go investigate further myself Upon investigation, I discovered that it was an electrical fault, I then made a decision to cancel the purchase. This fault was not noted on the Dekra report to begin with. I am now asking for my refund and I am being told I will not get it. Should that fault not been an electrical fault, I was going to go ahead with the vehicle however that was misrepresentation.

Webuycars misrepresent many vehicles. I went to The Dome to see a Dekra Platinum vehicle, and upon test driving, an engine light appeared. I am worried if Dekra reports are a true depiction of what is wrong with all your vehicles. I am only requesting my R5000 deposit because had that fault not been an electrical one, I was going to go ahead with the purchase.

To everyone clueless about cars, just go to a dealership, you might end up with a lot of trouble and in financial distress because this is a misrepresentation. My only mistake was wanting to reserve the vehicle.

Does this mean had I paid a R50 000 deposit I was going to forfeit it? I have also been requesting the T&Cs of invicing.
