Shocking lack of professionalism - ZERO STARS!!

PLEASE BEWARE of WBC!

I purchased a 2016 Mini Cooper S from their Springfield location on Friday, October 25th. I chose this vehicle based on its “good” Dekra report and the assurance that it was free of issues by the two sales guys, though I was informed a service would be required as there was no recent service history. Immediately after purchasing, I filled up the tank, but shortly afterward, I noticed a strong smell of petrol inside the vehicle. Initially, I assumed it was simply residual from filling up. However, after driving the car for about 100 kms (over the whole weekend), I noticed the fuel gauge had dropped significantly faster than expected. I was still getting a really strong smell of petrol throughout the days i was driving it. Given that I already had the car booked for a service today (30th OCt), I asked the mechanic to investigate this fuel consumption issue. To my dismay, I was informed that the fuel injectors are completely ruined. The mechanic mentioned that this issue would have been apparent during a proper inspection, suggesting that the vehicle was not thoroughly checked. I am now facing an additional R27k for new fuel injectors, which brings the total service and parts invoice to R35k. This is both unacceptable and disappointing, as I would not have proceeded with the purchase had I been aware of these injector issues.

This has been the worst experience of my life!! I am SHOCKED beyond words that they can sell vehicles like to consumers without doing the proper checks on these vehicles, especially when they claim that the car is in 'good working condition'.
