BLOEMFONTEIN MOTORS ARE SCAMMERS

Dear Sir/Madam

I am Sedumedi Cassius Masigo cell no.: 0769810187. I reside at 950 Tidimalo Location, Delportshoop 8377.

On the 18th December 2021 i went to Bloemfontein and bought a Jeep Compass 2012 model at Bloemfontein Motors. Upon inspection of the car, I realized:

1. All 4 wheel mags were damaged. I raised the matter with them. I paid R2500 to fix them

2. Upon turning the ignition on, the Air Bag light was on, i asked about it, Mr Gerno, the consultant, told me it is because of the battery they changed, so it will disappear. That never happened and raised it with them. I paid R7000 in December 2021 to fix the problem. I asked to be refunded and I was told they won't pay and won't take the car back.

3. I came back on the 20th to them asking for a service record of the car and the car manul book, and it was not given to me. I asked about anything else that is adverse on the car, and i was told the car is worth the R130 700 i paid to them.

4. And i would like Hello Peter to also investigate if the amount i paid then for the Jeep Compass 2.0 2011 was according to the then acceptable retail price.

5. After all this expenses, I asked Bloemfontein Motors for a Dekra report on the car and they told me its not necessary.

6. On the 20th of June i took the car to the service because of the engine light that came on the 14th of June 2022 and oil leakages then. After diagnosis, the mechanic realized that the oil is leaking and tappet cover needs to be replaced AND observed that the engine AND gearbox was opened before, and i was not told at the time of the purchase about any engine overdo or gearbox failure. I had to pay another R6000 for this work.

7. I have a strong belief that thus car has many more hidden mechanical problems and that Bloemfontein Motors knows about them and they sold me a mechanically compromised car with exorbitant amount.... and therefore I would like to be assisted to get my monetary refund or they buy the car back or trade-in with a proper car that has tangible service history.

Yours sincerely SC MASIGO @0769810187
