I took a second hand Ford Figo for a test drive and noticed that the powersteering was squeaking, aircon wasn't cooling, battery light wouldn't go off at all and the right headlight was not working.
I was promised that all these issues would be fixed if I took the car. I signed on the 8th and picked the car up on the 9th. They told me that everything was fixed, but I had to bring the car in on the next Wednesday to fix the battery.
They said that that was the only thing they needed to fix still.
Nothing was fixed! The aircon still wasn't working etc etc etc... I took the car back on that Wednesday after having the car for only 3 days. I left the car there for 2 weeks. I received the car again but noticed the battery light cluster on the dashboard didn't go on at all. They cut the lights off to cover the fact that they never fixed the alternator!
It took another 2 days to fix the issue. I got the car back yesterday (29th January) and the speedometer isn't working.
Out of the month that I "owned" the car I had it for a total of 4 days.
I have cancelled this deal and will never recommend anyone buy or take their car for a service at basil green in Edenvale.
