Selling to direct buyer and buying from dealer

[sHy3r]

 

Would like to share with all of you my friend's experience... 

She recently bought a second hand car from Wah Soon Heng Vehicle Trading

Within 2 days, the car broke down. Smoke was emitting from the car's bonnet and it was seriously overheated to the extent the thermostat hit High. There was also a badly burnt smell. Imagine purchasing a car for just 2 days, not travelling long distances and having to get her car towed and sent for radiator repairs? She had to cancel all her appointments just to wait by the roadside because her dealer was still sleeping ZZZZZ and she had to wait for him to wake up and get to the site. He then told her that he would not compensate her for the repairs as it was due to wear and tear. 2 days = wear & tear? How reasonable is that? Just because she did not buy a brand new vehicle off the assembly line doesn’t mean that she should be stuck driving a bad car right? It is more than reasonable to expect that her car dealer had done his due inspection and that the car would not break down due to transmission or engine issues shortly after? Is this too much to ask for from a dealer? 

 

This boss, Ben, said that she was to go and talk to the man who sold the car, Alan, and claim the expenses from him. Ben was the one who signed on the invoice (thus making him the seller) and now he conveniently pushes it to Alan (whom he must be earning from)? So the pushing game starts and of course, Alan, would not allow himself to be contactable. Reliability of this boss? ZERO! 

 

After talking to some car workshop mechanics, they hinted that this boss is...UNRELIABLE? I have concluded that he has no integrity and takes absolutely no pride in his business, since his mindset is once sold, you settle it yourself, not my problem. Where's his business ethics? 

 

This is the address of the unethical trading company: 50 Serangoon North Avenue 4 #01-01 First Centre S(555856) 

 

If you're ever considering of purchasing a second hand car or looking for a dealer to handle used car matters, unless you're looking out for a 'You Buy AT YOUR OWN LOSS' type of service, give this place a MISS. You will NOT BE MISSING OUT ON ANYTHING AT ALL! 

 

And he placed in his ad 'NO REPAIRS WILL BE NEEDED AT ALL'. - HAHAHAHAHA no repairs? Yes, no repairs cos' he will not give a care at all for whatever happens to your car, even if it happens one minute after you have bought it! That's what he means by NO REPAIRS! 

 

 

U may use Lemon Law against the dealer.

Why is it always a friend or a friend’s Friend?

.

Because no flame suit so let the virtual fren take the hit (and heat).

Just wondering, the coolant temperature would show temperature high and dashboard would have visual red light lighted up. Your friend should have stopped driving immediately and not until mist (smoke) emerged from under the bonnet.

 

I experienced the same thing due to a cracked coolant hose. Slowed down and found a carpark to stop. Wait for engine to cool down, top up water and quickly drove home. Next day, topped up coolant and drove to workshop.
