I bought a BMW E90 with the deposit of R70, 000, 00 the outstanding balance is now R20, 000, 00 I am paying every month instalment of R1000, 00 I have been using temporal permit now it has expired, the dealer is now refusing to give me the documents of the vehicle number plate and disc, they say I must pay full outstanding balance, I am using the vehicle for work purposes, I have been obtaining traffic fines due to expired permit.

However I think I just bought stolen vehicle because they don't have documents of the car, please find bellow information of the dealer.

If i could give zero stars i would

I dealt with Kennedy as the sales person and Tariq as the manager, after paying cash for a BMW 316i they tried to lie and say the advert says the Dekra report is only done on finance deals, which it doesnt, so i requested my money back, then Tariq called to resolve, the advert says navigation and bluetooth audio, which dint work, when i test drove the car everything was in its place, when i collected it, the head rest was put in the wrong way around and was stuck and the na igatiin and bluetooth audio wouldnt work, so before i signed any documentation, Kennedy assured me it would be sorted out when i came to collect my registration papers, i begged for almost 2 months to get sorted, then when my attorney called them they quickly said i can bring in to sort the navigation and bluetooth and the head rest, now the head rest is sorted and i am begging again to get the bluetooth abd navigation sorted and all Tariq does is ignore me and then lie when i threaten attorneys

Dont buy a car from here

They are liars and theives - friday the 22nd April 2022

Now after dealing with the only person higher than Tariq, a lady by the name of Melvina, she makes as if she wants to help, but then just ignores you the same way, so that respons from them is just to try delay things

- 26th April 2022

- 28th April 2022

Mervina arranged for me and the director to meet and with Tariq, when i got there the director wasnt there for the meeting as Tariq is the branch manager and must sort it out, i was informed that my concerns about him still doing nothing were already sorted by the Director speaking to Tariq. Even though Tariq saw us walk in, he dissappeared and had to wait for him and then ask someone to find him, when he finally came, he saw i wanted to record, then said if im not recording he isnt willing to meet, the only time someone does that is if they want to be dishonest

He is a liar and wants to be able to deny everything later and thats why he doesnt want to record anything

As Much as Mervina tried to help me and went to the extent of calling Tariq in amd confirming that he saw us and then went away, the director honestly doesnt care

I can tell you now, if you buy a car from here, the only way to resolve anything is to go the legal route, Tariq has 100s of complaints against him amd yet he is still there, so shows the type of company they are

So Just save yourself the time and buy from anywhere else, literally anywhere else, rather buy a rebuild car from a backyard company and know what you are buying as they are more honest upfront
