Max-Hoff

We took a car. Naturally not new and naturally with jambs. Nobody wants to tell anything (this is quite normal). If you want to find a joint, find it yourself). Therefore, take an expert with you or someone who clearly understands more than you. Good luck everyone. I will give two stars for cleverness.

The address of any pointers is not very correct. Found something like that. It's a little dark in the hangar. But young people will always tell you if they are interested in a car.

Good day. I'll tell you my story of buying in this salon. The car was chosen on 02.06.20 in the Max Hoff car dealership on the backup of the Siberian tract. Volvo 2007 with mileage 182 thousand. I really wanted this particular car, the model and color just fell in love with myself, I realized that I was buying a pig in a poke and therefore decided to turn to a third-party auto expert in order to somehow reassure myself. The Volvo cars themselves are very reliable cars, I was not embarrassed by the huge mileage. An auto expert Pavel was sent to me, after ten minutes of diagnostics he voiced the same information that I myself found on the Internet for the Wine of this car. I measured the thickness of the paint, connected the computer, opened the hood and with a clever look concluded that this car is more alive than all living things and you can take it without a doubt. I myself am not versed in cars and it is as easy as shelling pears to guide me. I did not participate in the accident, the engine is as good as new, not a bit, not painted, only there are flaws in the body - but this is obvious without an expert. Max Hoff's lawyers naturally foresaw such cases and wrote in the contract the wording “the car is transferred to the buyer in a state“ as is ”and they can only vouch for its legal purity. Well, at their own peril and risk, they believed the invited autoexpert, nevertheless looked under the hood with their eyes, lifted the car (on a local lift for 300 rubles ), looked at the suspension and so on. As a result: the car was bought, of course, with a grain of doubt and fear. A week after the purchase, the "oiler" lamp came on, and a couple of days later the "engine check". I took the car to the officials to give an adequate assessment. After three hours of waiting and partial disassembly, local experts concluded that the sealant on the engine is not original, there is a problem with oil pressure, one tube is leaking, the second one, a radiator for replacement and a whole bunch of other things, a total check for 30 thousand, moreover, if the problem is with the engine is confirmed, then I bring 150 thousand and the capital of the engine. Then they politely told me that they sympathized and advised me to find a good lawyer to try to return the car to Max Hoff. But alas, it was impossible under the terms of the contract, I went to seek help from another Volvo expert with vast experience and connections in the city. At the very first meeting, opening the hood, he noticed that some parts were non-native, and a strange black sealant was sticking out from under the engine cover (later it turned out that pieces of this non-original sealant were floating in the engine), the paint inside under the hood was different in color, and the bumper was re-screwed onto disposable fasteners that do not allow for dual use, from which gaps are visible. All of this indicates some kind of interference. Further, after careful analysis, we found out that the car was in a serious accident with a severe blow to the front part from which the engine, radiator, bumper and other parts were damaged, which were dirty and repaired, most of them were bought at the local auto-analysis, which was confirmed the owner of this parsing, specifically for this Volvo model, passes the dates with accuracy. As a result, diagnostics in the official salon 16 thousand + order new parts for repair + work, and this is not counting the small expenses for refueling an inoperative air conditioner, a torn off trunk handle, after a day of use. The invited expert said that he had been to Max Hoff many times and most often they sell “obvious stuff” there. Summing up, I would like to advise everyone who is on the verge of choosing a new car from the salon and used, how to think about it and if there is no money for a new one, then it is better to buy from a private owner, from which you can ask for documents about the technical inspection and various nuances which only the owner knows about. Do not forget what country we live in, for money you can hide anything you want, an accident, murder, theft, a shape-shifting car, a drowned car, and so on. I am writing this only to think carefully who to give my money for a used car, even if I really want a certain model, do not rush, like me, think very well, choose with a really experienced and better person.

We found an ad on Automotive News, in which it was written that the car did not participate in the accident. We arrived, looked and found that the car was crashed into a circle, the assembly was so bad that the sea urchin would have better assembled it.

I knocked through the car I liked displayed in the salon using a paid database, it turned out that the owner himself was selling it quite recently with a mileage almost doubled and problems with paintwork. I dare to assume that a hundred in the cabin do not shun twisting and other powdering ..
