We purchased a second hand 2012 Toyota 200 series land cruiser 139k on the clock from a dealer, The dealer is 1500km away from us. We had the car sent on a truck - it arrived today! Before purchasing the vehicle, we had spoken with the salesman and had a mechanical report sent through.
Obvious question asked, is the car in good condition? Has the car been in an accident? Is there noticeable damage to any part of the vehicle? The salesman assured us it was not damaged, had not been in an accident! The mechanical report then sent to us second their statements.
We applied for a car finance. Finance in the house was of course approved, vehicle put on a truck and arrived today! When we go the car of the truck the air does not work, we called the dealer they agreed to repair! We purchase a 5 year extended warranty. Upon getting the car to our house and inspecting it, the whole under body of the vehicle is rusty! This car has been submerged in salt water, an independent machine viewed car and believes the vehicle could possibly need to be written off because of damages caused!
We have sent emails to the dealers and await the reply tomorrow! Just curious I have looked at the consumer affairs and fair trading act - I am hoping it doesn't progress that far but does anyone have any opinions?
