Replying to: hemanthh (Feb 07, 2009 9:00 am) I don't plan to let them get away, but I have been dealing with this car for more than a month now, getting kind of tired. Am waiting for the results from the other dealership looking at the car. So far there are problems with the engine and transmission. They told me they are minor problems, but shouldn't these be fixed at the whatever 140 points inspection? When you purchase yours, did you get the check list? I am sure that mine was done at the spot when I asked because I had to wait for 2 hours watching them running around to get signatures. I have not received any calls nor survey from BMW North America. I plan to write to the CEO of BMW USA and cc the general manger of the dealership, including all the paper work, will see how that goes. Am I allowed to disclose the dealership name and the "used car" salesman, would love to be able to do it here.

Replying to: romboggie (Feb 07, 2009 12:31 pm) We test drove the car before it was "certified," and I was not impressed by it. However, I was assured that it will be good after being certifed, just some tune up and stuff, stupid me. My plan was to use it as a daily commuting car to work, well, it has been in the shop for a month so far. I seriously was thinking that the pre-owns have some kind of a standard, apparently I was wrong. Now the car is in another dealership and they are checking it out, will find out next Monday |

Replying to: roadburner (Feb 07, 2009 7:17 pm) the exterior of the car looks great, except a few ding and dents at the bumper which they promise to fix but did not. it is the mechanics of the car which I am worried about. the car has been in the shop for more than a month now, which is making me very upset. |

Replying to: romboggie (Feb 07, 2009 4:55 pm) I also have a benz which I bought brand new and now gave it to my wife, only 3 years old and drives beautifully, not a single problem so far, now I miss it. I never thought about buying a second hand car but given the economy, I thought I should keep the cash in hand just in case. Now that I think about it, should have just bought a new one and avoid the headache, eh....... I thought about the maintenance plan also, but they are quite expensive. I think you can negotiate down the price? |
