Pennings Auto's

On 22-2-2020 I was at Pennings Cars in Aalten for a test drive in a Hyundai i30 CW with license plate XG-261-X. Because I had to drive 200 km to take a test drive, I requested a lot of information about the condition of the car and the history. Because it was an import car, there was not too much paperwork available. There was a scratch on the bumper, but otherwise it was a neat car according to the dealer. There were new front tires and a new MOT. A point of attention at the MOT was a lack of the braking system, according to the trader a bit of rust on the brake discs, but that was quickly remedied. In good spirits I undertook the journey and upon arrival the car was already on the bridge, just to be sure the air conditioning was also serviced. On the bridge it appeared that the brake discs front and rear were already worn out and that there was a hole in the exhaust. The hubcaps were also considerably damaged and there was a point of interest in the paint on almost every part of the car. There was also a bite (?!?) From the mirror on the driver's side. Still made a test drive not to have traveled that far for nothing and it turned out: - the car accelerated very badly; - the door seals were worn with a hole in it; - the side cheek of the driver's seat was completely flat; - the steering wheel was worn; - there was a thick layer of sludge in the engine oil; - there was water in the spare wheel compartment; - there was mold on the spare tire, on the boot lining and the floor covering; - on the upper post of the rear doors (wisely just not visible on the photos in the advertisement) there was tape on both doors, with a lot of rust underneath; - there was a large stain in the upholstery on the rear seat; - there was moisture in the third brake light and in the windscreen; - the rails on which the driver's seat slides forward and backward were rusted; To my great surprise it turned out to have been a smoker's car, the roof sky and the ashtray were gross and the car didn't smell so fresh anymore either. Upon my return, I expressed my disappointment and showed the points for attention. When asked why he had not let me know before that it was a smoker's car, I got the following answer: "If I had said that in advance, you would not have come for a test drive" My mouth fell open, I didn't waste any more words and drove the 200 km home disappointed. Since the car is still for sale at the same price, I hope that other interested parties will look at this car with a fairer picture. Judge for yourself, but don't let the low mileage blind you to everything that is wrong with this car and the trading company. This is certainly not a neat car and not a neat and honest / genuine car company. Traders already have a questionable reputation, but this confirmed it for me again.

I visit this garage once a year. Rest of the year I drive smoothly. Absolutely great!

Good service and price
