Hi folks I've been lurking her for a while coz I wanted a Stagea and been very impressed with the community spirit here.
Now I've put a deposit on this sight unseen (it's in Sydney and I'm in Adelaide)
Done 167,000km but I figured I'd be OK coz it came with a nationwide warranty but I've since discovered that it ain't worth the paper it's written on.
Also found the dealer has told me a lot of porkies and refuses to give my deposit back ("car has been sent offsite for detailing - too hard to refund blah blah) so now I'm shi***ing myself please pardon my French, and am worried about driving it back to SA.
I've thought of forking out more $$$ for a NRMA inspection but then I thought I'd rather pay a Stagea guru.
Happy to pay someone who knows what they're doing - and it looks like there's a lot of you out there.
All advice gratefully received.
The vin is wrong in the ad - it's 6U9000WGC34083929 it checks out OK (4 owners since imported in 2006 no writeoffs - rego till 7/15)
Also if anyone fancies a road trip to Adelaide I'll pay expenses and fly you back.
Thanks in advance everyone !
my poor old dad is rolling in his grave!! - we spent hours looking at used cars when I was a kid and he always said never trust a dealer SORRY DAD
