I recently acquired a vehicle from Value Auto and this is a brief description of my experience. I saw the vehicle, a Mercedes ML 320 CDI 4Matic 2007 on the internet on Gumtree. I liked what I saw and contacted the seller namely Riaan Langeveldt. He informed me that to his knowledge that the vehicle are in good shape for its year model. I paid a holding deposit and a roadworthy fee of R1000 on EFT and flew down to Cape town where I was met by George. I took delivery of the vehicle and drove off to the fuel pump 20m away. After refueling the car would not start, battery dead. George gave me a jumpstart assuring me its because the vehicle was standing for a while not driven. I noticed that the rear right brake light where not working. Again George said probably a defective bulb. Taking to mind , I was given a full roadworthy, brake light , reverse light and indicator lamp not working. When arriving in Stillbaai I had to replace the battery for it was completely dead. While driving the brakes was not good. It was shuddering and shaking the steering wheel , again was this roadworthy ? Both front and rear disc brakes badly worn beyond safety measurements. When I returned home to Pretoria at the end of the week, I discovered the reason the brake light was not working. The globe was removed to hide the fact that it was staying on all the time. A closer inspection I discovered that the rear SAM computer had water damage and the indicator, reverse lamp and brake light was affected. Again , was this roadworthy ? I called George who told me he would talk to his partner Riaan Langeveldt and come back to me. This never happened. Later I WhatsApped him about the navigation DVD for the vehicle, he never even rep****. To list just a few issues, the broken grill was tied with cableties. Sure this is a old vehicle, but with roadworthy issues after I paid R1000 for a full roadworthy. You decide if this is the experience you want if you buy . I would not go there again.

On Tuesday, 2019-02-26 I sent an email via a Gumtree add to the seller (Value Auto 135 Brighton Road, Kraaifontein, Western Cape) with regards to a 2001 Volvo S40 2.0 with 210 000 kms advertised for R44 900.00 , which is way above the retail value of the vehicle as to my knowledge. The reason why I sent them a message is - they keep reposting the same add on Gumtree of the same vehicle for weeks now resulting in receiving Gumtree add alerts for the same overpriced vehicle over and over again. Clearly, they can't get to sell the Volvo at their asking price. I sent them the following message: "It doesn't help to advertise the same Volvo over and over and over on Gumtree. You are so overpriced man. Your dealership's name is losing it's value." To get the following response from Riaan Langeveldt: "Dirk, fokof... Kry vir jou n hobby......." I therefore wouldn't recommend: www.autovalue.co.za 135 Brighton Road, 7570 Kraaifontein Tel: ********** Cel: ********** Email: ********** ********** ********** Vitafuel (PTY) LTD Reg no: 2006/002845/07 What if you have a real issue with an overpriced vehicle that you bought (with your hard earned cash) from them, how would they treat you then?
