I travelled up from the Eastern Cape to purchase a used BMW X5. The finance had already been approved. After viewing the car for a second I thought I was on candid camera. The condition of the car was appalling. It had been in a front smash and some back yard bush mechanic had tried to straiten and fix the bumper with a heat gun and succeeded only in melting it... Thereafter they painted it by hand before they reattached it with some rusty washers and some drywall screws. The air box was fibre glassed together and the car was filthy.
I promptly said I was not interested and expressed my dissatisfaction. I was expecting that a vehicle being sold by BMW would be in a reasonable condition and I was also expecting the dealership to have some sort of integrity. I was sadly mistaken. A call to the used car manager Willie Van Deventer was interrupted, when I tried to call back he rejected my call.
I phoned the dealer principle to complain and was given the corporate run around.
In my opinion their scruples are thin enough to read a newspaper through, they displayed NO integrity, they sell scrap and they are a underhanded bunch of cockroaches.
An utter waste of my time
