Hi Guys,
Long story short:
I recently decided to sell my car to buy a bike (even posted it on Carb!).
Getworth come to inspect the car and tell me there has been way to much body work for them to even make an offer. Like, wtf????
So I email the dealer, who responds with a "you signed for the car in this condition" and attached photos of the front bumper, rear bumper and drivers side door that were cosmetically "touched up".
We agree that I will get an assessment from an Authorized Merc panel beater and take it from there. The report is damning - almost every panel has had work done to it.
They didn't disclose any previous damage during the sale.
Dealer won't respond to me, so I've contacted Mercedes.
Anybody here got some contacts at Merc to help the process along?
If I lose out on 10s of thousands of rands because of their unethical practices, then I'll do my best to make sure this particular dealer loses their Authorized Mercedes Dealership status.
Anybody got some other advice?
