My Dream Car
I saw a few bad reviews about this “dealership” but I just thought that the reviewers were being overly excited and just didn’t do secondhand purchasing right. It could never happen to savvy ol’ me. I made a cash purchase of a Renault Kwid Climber from them in March of 2020 and they didn’t tell me beforehand that the car had been involved in an accident. I paid for the car to be couriered and on that same day they told me that my car was booked and gave me a day that it would arrive in Cape Town by. With that in mind, on the day that the car was expected to arrive at my place in Cape Town I had still received no communication from the “company” and when I enquired of the ETA they told me that the car wasn’t able to be booked which would have been helpful if they had at least communicated this anytime during the 3 days before the expected delivery date. To cut things short, I ended up flying up to Jo’burg to pick up the car and drove it down to Cape Town. I arrived in Cape Town and realized that the car had a consistent oil leak and so I took it to get checked which is when I found out that it been on a serious accident and that the oil sump was broken along with the seals not closing completely. It was a mess and had to pay almost 8 grand to fix it. I then found out that on top of that the brake fluid container was completely detached from where it was meant to sit and couldn’t be reattached and the wiper fluid container was also completely missing from the car. Realizing that this was way more than I had bargained for, I called the “company” because they had promised me a 1 year warranty for the car incase of any problems from their part. After several failed courteous attempts at communication with Mohammed Rehaan Said who was the sales person who had sold me the car and then with the “company” I began digging for other contact details. I found a contact number for a man called Michael who later turned out to be the manager but obviously did not tell me. Eventually when I started discussing terms of resolving the issue he stopped picking up my calls. I filled a legal complaint with Miosa Ombudsman because not only had they sold me a damaged and dangerous car, illegally by not disclosing this, they had refused means to rectify this. Miosa got back to me and told me that the “company” had closed down. Moral of the story kids, it’s not a company. If you see a bald Mohammed Rehaan Said trying to sell you a car from any dealership and a Michael, run away. They are not on your side. Also, pay a mechanic a few hundreds for an hour and take them with to the dealership to check out the car and be there in person. Old sales tactic, “the car is currently being test driven and might not be available for long”

False advertising from MY DREAM CAR and failed assistance from FNB to reverse my money.
On the 7th of November I went to a dealership searching for a car volvo xc60 2016 that I saw advertised online on www.cars.ca.za under a dealership called MY DREAM CARS PTY LTD selling for R175000. A sales lady named Bongi, cell/whatsapp numbers 0738939605 was the one attending to me. They called me with a driver and came to pick me up to come to the dealership to view the car. The car looked OK on the eye and the details and specs they gave me were impressive. However knowing that I'm purchasing a second hand car I repeatedly asked and wanted to be sure if the car was not involved in an accident and I was told not at all. I was told the car was a bank repossessed car and they were selling it at this price because the bank is only looking for the remainder of what was left on the installments of the car. I was interested in the car, so much so that I told them that the following day I was coming to get it cash. They advised that I leave a deposit of 10 000 which is refundable and went on to say even if I changed my mind and don't want the car anymore I would get my money back. I made payment and left. The following day on the 8th I came back and since I had already seen the car we went to the office to finalise payment and we negotiated to R172500 which I paid meanwhile they were busy washing the car. Thereafter we were to go to the traffic department to do change of ownership, and on our way there with their driver I discovered that the car keys had difficulty opening the car because the driver kept pressing and the car wouldn't open which was a red flag to me. Secondly along the way while we were diving I noticed that the steering wheel socket/holder was cracked open on the sides and I asked the driver about that and he said that's nothing to worry about its just loose and he will put back together once the car stops. Long story short, we could not do the change of ownership because I hadn't brought all documents. We came back and when we got to the garage I noticed a scratch on the driver door and that made me really question if it was a good deal because I kept seeing all these negatives, I asked about it and they said it's not a scratch it's wax residue from car polish and they will take care of it. At this point I was sure I don't want the car anymore because of these things and I kept asking if indeed this was not an accident car and said no. I took a more detailed inspection and discovered that on the driver's seat the door had been spray painted and the window sill was not aligned properly, when I opened the bonnet on the driver's side there was some welding done and I asked why they were lying to me about it not being involved in an accident and they still insisted it wasn't. I looked at the car papers and it said it was a built up car. So immediately I told them No I won't be doing change of ownership anymore I want my money back. The manager Mr PRINCE MICHAEL EZE, denied giving me back my money back claiming the car is already mine and I should take it. I asked them how so because I hadn't even driven the car out of their garage nor changed ownership. And I just made payment few hours ago and requested for the transaction to be reversed. He said no. I left the car with them and applied at FNB bank to reverse the transaction and they too said reversal was not possible because the recipient is not giving authorization. Its the 16th today I'm still in tears and hopeless as to who will come to my rescue. All I have with me is a receipt of a car I don't have and my money gone. You are my last hope dear hellopeter. I plead with you to please intervene.

Dream Cars 60 Booysens road Selby
Stay away from these guys on 60 Booysens road Selby. They advertise cars as "accident free" and upon viewing the car did we find that it was re-sprayed. We confronted Ken and he denied, only once we showed him the re-spray marks he confessed that it was in n minor accident. He also does not want to share receipts of the work done to proof that the car was in a minor accident. Later he confessed that he brought the car from the insurance, therefore I believe the car was written off. Please stay away, this place/guy can not be trusted.

false adverti*****t
Bought a car 2017 Corolla Quest which had 52000km on the clock. I bought it because of the low kilo`s. soon after I bought it I discovered that the brake pads were finished while I was away with the car over the weekend, I had no choice but to replace them as I could not drive the car back, I soon after encountered other failures like the radiator cooling fan which ran continuously even with the engine cold, window washer which was leaking and the water pump not working. I brought this issues to the dealer and was ignored. I later found out from Toyota that the cars last service with them was at 163000 kilos which revealed to me that I actually bought a car with high mileage than what is was advertised to me.
