Sold a lemon by Wheelsonline

I bought 06 zx14 with "30000km', was assused bike was perfect over the phone as I live in cape town, structed the deal with stephan and paid over my cash. Bike arrived and had alot alot more visual imperfections than a bike with 30000km, On arrival bike arrived with a cracked,chipped rear light was told.this can happen in transit bike was PDI before leaving., was told to go to the strand branch to have it fixed. This.was sorted. A week after getting her, I take her out to wellington. The bike over heats, stuck.in.wellton and getting no.offer to assit with pick up I get myself and the bike back home, I get told by wheelsonline it's due to riding.style although i own other bikes , and it's only water although fluids that was leaking was green so it's coolant not water, also noted the gearbox was seleting gears properly. After wheelzonline refilling and checking all fluid and liquids, 2 week later I went to welliton again and again I got stuck with over heating. Again had to get towed back to table view(no combepensation offered by wheelzonline as this is R600 each time.i must be collected. After getting the bike to the stand branch, and much baxk and forth between stephan and I a new thermostat was ordered. In the same time I had show Stephan how bad the current fairing was condition wise, cracked/ not fitting properly, he said he would go half but that was another R5000 I had to come up with remembering I bought the bike 2 months prior.. The process to have thermo Stat and fairing fitted was almost 2 months, remembering this is due my cpa time. After having the fairing fitted and the new thermostat which took.2 months. I have now developed a bearing knock.on the engine, I have done less than 4000k in.8 months due to these issues. The only help stephan offered if to use a.mechanic in JHb I would need.to pay transport there, and back, pay the mechanic, my question to that was if there's a issue then.it must get back there. I now am.sitting.with a 56k to.fix the bearing knock, thank you Stephan for selling me lemon of a bike, i cannot afford to fix it, as I had trusted you..sold.a solid clean bike. Life lesson learnt, I won't do business with you again.
