"HONEST" car dealer ! ! N

I am not trying to flame but just a simple advise to caution brothers here who are trying to sell off their ride or buying new rides.

Just got my car on Wednesday 3 days ago....

I tested my ride and told the dealer that there is some ticking sound coming from the engine bay and when braking there is scretching sound from the brakes.

Even went to STA check and got all Bs.

Am in the work shop now and found out that I need to change
1) belt tensional
2) water pump
3) skim rotor
4) change brake fluid
5) engine oil ( don know what rubbish engine oil they using)

This is not the thing that I am not happy about, just that when I am bargaining the price with them , they are very stiff on that, told them that a lot of things need to change. And their attitude sucks after I sign with them.

It's not entirely their fault but just telling brothers here who are very particular about this type of thing.

I thought there's no such thing as a 100% honest second hand car dealer?

tts de thing abt 2nd hand car. best is to go wif ur mechanic or frenz who can advise on de technical parts of de car.as for de price,it boils down to ur bargaining power. you may have given him de signal tt u wanted de car very much. then again,de car is still a popular choice. he won't lower it.

we al learn from our experience. I too learn when I bought my ride 1st hand from PI.

tis r de few reasons y ppl shun away from PI.

since u can get it resolved,enjoy de ride n get poisoned. Wa ha ha...

join de kopi sessions n mod slowly

Welcome to de club. ;-)

you should have walked away if the dealer isn't keen on negotiating, there are plenty of dealers out there, if any 1 doesn't want to treat you right, there's always another

don't forget the saying, if we don't treat our customers right, others will

Yah I leArn from my lesson. My es5 bought from them a lot of problem then 1 year later change to euro R also buy from them. They treat mr with lousy attitude for a 2nd time buyer. That's why I choose to post my unhappiness . I am not a very narrow minded person but this is too much for a 2nd time buyer within a year....

When is the gathering for CL7 R ?
