So heres a story.

Foolishly I bough this car yesterday. I travelled from Devon to Birmingham via a mixture of hire car and train.

Car seemed fine at first look. The bodywork is actually in very good condition, its not 100% spotless as the seller described, but it is very good for its age.

But things are about to get worse.

Took the car for a test drive, engine seemed fine, pulls ok. More about the engine later in this post.

But I noticed a very pronounced steering wheel wobble at low speeds, reducing as speed increased.

Seller informs me that this is due to the fact that the tracking needs doing. I was not convinced at first and thought that it could be balancing or a deformed tyre. I tried to persuade the seller for us to go to a local tyre shop to get the wheels balanced and tracking done to see if that cured the problem before completing the sale, he seemed very reluctant and then announced that the locking wheel nut remover was in fact snapped, sheared off. Making is difficult to get the wheels off.

So me being the fool that I am and too trusting of people, I decided to do the deal on the car and paid a nice £8,500 for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Payment took two hours to get to the sellers account due to an issue with my bank, so I had to wait around for two hours before making my 200 mile journey back home! Left home at 7am and didnt arrive back home until 1:30am. Not ideal.

The money transferred into his account and I was handed the keys.

But out of curiosity, I stopped at a very good tyre place in Birmingham to see of they could fix the steering wheel wobble as I did not fancy driving all the way back to Devon with it the way it was.

Things soon took a real bad turn for the worse.

Not only were the two front wheels unbalanced, they were also buckled, seriously buckled. And this is due to which ever idiot put these wheels on used spigot rings that were not needed!!! So of course the rear of the wheels surface was not mating up to the hub face correctly.

But further inspection of the wheels shows that the car had either been sat for a long time without moving, or the wheels had been in storage for some time and put on the car ready for sale. Spider nests in two of them.

But it gets worse, much much worse!!!

One of the spokes the drivers side rear wheel has a crack in it, I am not talking about a hairline crack, I am talking about a proper crack where the spoke has actually become detached from the spoke. This crack was discovered by one of the guys at the tyre shop. The crack was covered up with something to disguise it.

The seller sold me this car knowing that there was a serious crack in one of the spokes and I am extremely upset that somebody would actually allow someone to drive 200 miles down the motorway with a potentially dangerous alloy wheel.

I also believe the wheels to be fakes, I cant see genuine Volk wheels having cracks like that in them and to buckle in such a way. Might be wrong but doubt it!

I am currently seeking advice from my solicitors about this to see if there is anything I can do, its not about the money, couldn't give two monkeys about that, in fact if it costs me money to sue the *******, I dont care, what its about is if this idiot does this on a regular basis, its only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or even worse, killed.

But thats not all! The engine seems to have an issue, car will idle fine, but if driving along and the clutch is pressed, the revs will drop and five times out of ten the engine will stall. Also there seems to be some hesitation on part throttle from the engine in low to mid revs, but no hesitation when at WOT. But in general the engine seems fine at the moment, but I am sure that with the luck I have already had with this car, it will only be a matter of time before something more serious happens!

And a lot of the interior items that this idiot said were included with the are actually not, no mid range and tweeters by Focal, and certainly no Focal 6x9's on the rear shelf, the gauges in the gauge pod are not wired in.

I know what your all thinking, yes, I am a complete an utter idiot for buying this car, I am kicking myself about it, but its done now and there is naff all I can do about it apart from get new wheels, and of course sort this engine issue out.

Cars history does check out, did a HPI check before purchase and nothing came up. So at least thats legit.

Of course tried to contact the seller, but surprise surprise, phone not on, probably a throw away SIM card anyway. this person saw me coming and pulled out all the stops to be as convincing as possible. And me being me, believed every last word that came out of his mouth.

Lesson learned, you really cant trust anyone, thats it for me, never again will I buy a car without getting it throughly checked out by someone who knows what to look for.

Basicly sounds like you bought a fecked motor for 8.5k as i got told bottom end might be on its way out .

johned

That was an evil thing to do as the seller must have known you would find out that a lot of what he had said was lies and plus the safety of the car was compromised by the duff wheel so i hope he gets what he deserves and it just goes to show that a picture of a car is no guide at all to its true condition.Good luck.

Filtered pictures of a Jap sporty car sold by what possibly sounded to be Asian. Has all the traits from what you described.

I hope you get something sorted, hopefully you still have a good car under those issues

Thanks for the support.

I made another thread with more details about this here

https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...xperience.html

But heres a picture of the alloy issue.



Thats was covered with something that the chap at the tyre shop in Birmingham described as similar to mud.

such a shame for you mate, gutted for you

have to admit, i was very seriously thinking about buying this, was one of the first to post, but i suppose (somewhat luckily) the birth of my daughter and a raft of home improvements quickly drained the savings!!

i am really starting to believe the too good to be true rule! this is the second well spec'd import i've been interested in.
powerwrx actually bought the first (white v7) and that had been crashed, quite a few similarities in his experience too

If you remove a wheel nut and take a decent picture of the full wheel face I'll tell you if they are copy's...if it makes a difference

iTrader: (16)

That was dangerous. I would defenetly go and have a word with him and sort this out.

There is nothing wrong if the car has faults as long seller isnt trying to HIDE them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
