You only sell to We buy cars, you NEVER buy from them
Can someone at We buy cars be so kind as to make me a offer on the piece of **** that I bought from you in November 2025. I am a single mother that had to buy a bakkie for my son, I asked the salesman so nicely that I do not know anything about cars. I was aware of all the faults on the bakkie as per the Dekra report and signed for, I was willing to buy it with these faults as I had some extra money to repair these faults. But never did the salesman tell me that it was a built up, code 3 vehicle, please do share with me where I would have seen this information on the dekra report or pre-delivery inspection report ? And even if it is on there somewhere as i looked for it now, thanks for telling me what it means and that such a vehicle is almost impossible to insure and that such a vehicle is almost impossible to sell again. I only realized that it is a built up code 3 vehecle when trying to ensure it, my broker then explained to me what I have bought. When I tried to get hold of the salesman so that he can help me with the insurance, my calls where ignored and my voicenotes was blue ticked. Very strange as before the sale the phone did not even ting once before picked up. I hoped you enjoyed your commission Mr Salesman who disappears after sale is done and do not even answer for help with insurance on your code 3, built up sale which was not disclosed to me. Now that my son is trying to phone him to get a selling price he is also ignored. I have paid for and fixed the following on the vechile since November : New windscreen, R & R front propshaft, replace 2 x CV Joint, replace 8 x rear shackle rubbers, 2 x front brake discs, diff seal, hold down kit, 2 x nuts, must go to electrician for wiring. Replace steering rack, replace power steering pump an oil, Wheel alignment, replace outer CV boot, replace 2 x tie rod ends, replace 4 x ball joints, replace 2 x front wheel bearings, new fan belt, replace 2 x lower control arm, replace 2 x d bushes, replace v-belt tensioner. straighten alternator, replace battery, replace starter, replace starter, replace alternator. This is everything that I have replaced and done with invoice proof in 5 months, since buying the vehicle. My son hardly had a bakkie and out life was very stressful as the bakkie was in for repairs most of the times and it has cost me a lot more. And now the diff has broken, I am done fixing this bakkie and now I want to sell it and get something decent. But guess what, no one wants to buy a code 3 built up vehicle. Mr Salesman, I really hoped that you enjoyed your commission after I asked you so nicely for your honest opinion and help to a single mother who just wanted to buy her son a bakkie and was willing to accept and pay for disclosed faults. We do not have a bakkie now as I can not afford to fix the diff, we can not get someone to buy the piece of **** and I am still paying it off. Everyone I tell this story to has their story to tell and says that "did you not know that you only sell to we buy cars, you NEVER buy from them" So seeing that you buy built up, code 3 vehicles, what will your offer be after I fixed all above with the broken diff ?
