Giving up

What exactly did I teach? Without a car my children can not visit the school for long. By now only one can since one bike is left. If children do not visit the school I get sued and end up in prison. I do not have a car out of luxury but because we need one.

Tenault megane scénic 2005 it is. The pain in the neck. A car good to be parked in a garage and wrapped in foil.

At least you are finding a little humor in this unfortunate situation.

What is life without humor? It won't help to sit and cry. Thanks for responding. A great day to you.

The car is under warranty because where I bought it. I wrote the seller, no response. Today I will visit it. Costs can (the only way) about 40 euros!

Interesting expression isn't is? A lemon of a car.

All the best. I hope you can give the seller a piece of your mind, pull him by the ear and kick him :P But that is an expensive trip.

Haha yes. Whats with the poor lemon.

It is clear he lied. The car service called what is wrong. All trouble he could have known, must have bumped into and if not him the former owner which means this owner had car trouble!

The seller seems to be a good one. Very positive reviews on the internet. Drove to Germany as people became car trouble, took the broken car and gave his own. I would call that service too.

The seller bought and tested it in March. All cars have the annual test APK with it. It's a licensed company, belongs to BOVAG and I am a good customer. Not dumb, pay cash, and not bargaining about prices/costs. I expect therefore honesty and service. Not too much asked or?

I do my best. Today I will visit my car at a different service. It will cost me at least 40 euros to go there by cab.

That is a question which most likely will never be answered. No answer received except the car is fine.

That's what I said to the guy who picked up mine. I should have bought a BMW or Mercedes.

I hope too. At the end of the day I know more but it will gonna cost me 50 euro an hour for just looking and most likely they look for the next 8 hours.

good

It is their way of making an income. With being honest and by treating people well they won't make that much.

But ithink they shouldn't do it it might cause some trust issues with the people

If they won't solve this in a proper way they will because I will leave a review too and that will not be such a nice one.

A vehicle already loses it's value if you buy it new and did not drive in it. No one will pay you the same amount back if you try to sell it at once. Acar with problems is no one's favour.

Writing on a platform is not quite the same as losing high amounts of money. Money I do not have and I refuse to take a loan, most likely I will not even get one. It's good to hear you start succeeding here. I have a look at your account.

The seller already knows that but doesn't respond except by saying the car is fine. Too many know now it is not.

I checked out a lot before I bought the car. I made a longer test drive. Looked at the motor, underneath the car, the car came with a new annual test as well and I did not buy it from someone private but a car service that joins an certified organization that should give guarantee. The thing is you can not check everything. I looked at the internet for car trouble only found a positive review over years. Once the car is broken and you search for a specific problem you find the bad news. The car seller has positive reviews too. So far I haven't heard from him. Yesterday I wrote an email the car is taken to a car service an hour driving away. I'll see what happens today. I am sorry about you being scammed. I understand it makes angry you are fooled and lost what you saved for. ☹

You are right. No one will fight for my rights. If I do nothing all the expenses and risks are mine. It would be different if the seller had said: this car is.... And I accepted taking the risk.

I will just a pity no respond. Let's blame the coronavirus for it and the hard times, blah blah

Still no response? The seller might be avoiding you now. Yeah, this coronavirus is such a pain in the ass

The car seller never closed down because of the pandemic. There are just many car sellers and services to make a living. That's the problem. No, still no answer.

I wish I could throw the electronics out. Most likely the board computer is the main trouble. It decides when to start or not.

If something is seriously going to cost you more money then it benefits you. If one repair can make you buy a different car you have to ask yourself if it is wise to continue. I learned once a trouble car will remain a trouble car. One repair after the next will follow. A car needs to start and drive take me from A to B. Not give up on me when it's needed.

You can fight till you drop dead, spend thousands of euros on a car for each new repair or get rid of it and buy something else and save yourself the stress and money you don't have. It depends on what is the wisest thing to do and what you can afford.

I did inspect the car. I did make a longer test drive. I did ask questions about it's history. I searched for problems about this specific car on the internet. I did buy the car from a seller joining a certified organization and checked out the seller. All positive.

The question is was it worth the repairs? I know a used car comes with troubles sooner or later. If you cannot buy brand new you have to take that risk and if after some repairs the car is good you spread the costs.

The mechanic told me that the some of the car parts are being restored and I'm so disappointed. I know it's my fault, but I couldn't turn back time and just take the risk.

It is at a different car service now. This brand only. I guess they do good business. I haven't heard from that car service yet. I sent an e-mail. I haven't heard from the seller either. During the past years we were a good customer. Always paid at once and cash so the least thing I expect is being lied. If he told me: listen this car sit and drives great but the board computer is... And that airbag not functioning is a result of leaking rainwater blah blah it's up to me to decide if I pass or take the risk. I do not need to have all the luxury but I do need a car that starts if I need it which is 5 times a week at 4:30 am and in the afternoon.

For now I will. The care is taken away and brought to a car service specialist in this brand. I doubt that will be a positive thing. I haven't had contact with them yet.

I know I am but the question is if it is worth the long fight and money. ☹

Ohh...I’ll understand dear ..I also face such issue...I can prayer for you that May Allah solve your all issues and Have a good and successful life ...Don’t give up ever Dear just focus your next goals and work hard ...

I am sorry to hear you have the same issues. Who to trust if it comes to buying and repairs?

I hope it is is worth the stress. I need to figure out if my car arrived and when I know what is wrong with it and the costs.

I bought the car from a car mechanic, a licensed company that should give guarantee. I made a test drive, looked for reviews of the car and the seller. It still turned out to be not enough.

I see. I hope it will be good at the end. Do not give up. Car is yours and you deserve a good car that works well.

Well, if this car stands for what I achieved, produced in my life 😭😭😭

Good thing you already owned a car, atleast you have something already.

Actually I do need the car but better now than during a cold winter. For my children this means two hours extra traveling a day. A total of 5:30 hours for a day school only. ☹

Yes, I am very sorry for them. That they have to spend so many hours traveling to a school that by the way there is no security at all.

If traveling is too much they need to take a break. Today they can travel together. I told them to eat together first before they come back home. Both drag around with two bags of school books and sportclothes which is too much too.

My youngest said for three subjects she already receives passwords for homeschooling and the other one read its school is in the news as the first one with a class and teachers in quarantine. Each day is a surprise.

That news is all a matter of politics. As they suggest that everyone should do the same and start classes even with risks.

The kids will also be looking forward to getting the car fixed soon.

Yes, or better stay home again. They weren't exactly bored. I would prefer one week school, two weeks off and homeschooling. A good way to spread the risk and stay in touch with the class and teacher plus get some rest.

That would be a good study alternative to start with. And it is also good for fixing the car.

In other words, kids don't dislike all that school trip adventure. It seems to me good that they are not frustrated with so much travel.

They feel tired and yesterday my son could walk home because he had a flat tire. The question is how to fix that? No school for him today I guess. He cannot walk 5 hours to a bus stop.

Some situations can be resolved faster than others. I don't know the solution to your question. But I do know that everything has a solution. Any answer or solution to a problem comes sooner or later.

They do indeed even if you directly ask what the problem with the car is.

Once a lawyer told me: there's a huge difference between being right and getting your right. I will see what tomorrow brings.

Indeed I saved, bought a lemon and the money is wasted. It sounds to me all modern cars will have problems. The buyers are the victims, those who fabricated it make easy money and the car services laugh out loud.

I bought a newer one too and it causes me problems. The great thing about older cars is they can be repaired. New cars hardly can. If one thing doesn't function there are at least 8 different reasons which can cause it. It keeps the wallet of the car service filled but rarely the problems are solved. Thanks for stopping by. I am happy to hear you found a better one.
