Renault Trafic, CRAP!
-
Hi everyone,
Rationale why i'm penning into this thread is to send out a warning notice to all abt purchasing used vehicles from ABWIN pte ltd.
Purchased a 2003 model renault trafic from the above-mentioned sometime in Feb. barely one mth into the acquisition, the van broke down 2 times on road. had it sent back to the seller's sub-con garage for "repair", only to find out that the "belt" was damaged and had to be replaced.
2weeks after getting the van back, it broke down again. this time emitting white smoke and the veh couldn't even go bey 20km/h.
had it towed back to the same garage only to hear from the salesman that the "turbo" was spoilt, and had to be replaced. Van was sent to Exclusiv Auto at my demand for a full diagnostics test.
Just only this morning, was inform by the sales man that the turbo had been replaced w a new one. However, they suspected that the engine might be damaged too, and MIGHT require a overhaul!
I fainted. Can anyone pls advise me on what legal action or what stands I can make to enforce my right?
Shd the seller be allowed to go scot-free for selling me this pc of junk?!?
And no warranties???
What got me boiling was the fact that the salesman (very prominent in sg carmart) started shirking responsibility of the vehicle condition and blaming the garage for not doin a good repair job. Subsequently, he even tried to earn my sympathy by telling me that the repair costs are burning a hole in his pocket, and that I will need to understand that i bgt the van at my risk! Ridiculous!
*sob* Thank you for reading. -
tell him tat u will bring the matter to CASE.

Sometimes not even CASE can help..cuz you must understand that CASE is an association..and I heard that to seek help from CASE, you need to pay membership fees to be their member so that they'll help you..another ridiculous thing..but no choice..since they are an association, they are not aided by the government, and they need income too..Originally posted by eviljustice:tell him tat u will bring the matter to CASE. -

toyota hiace d-4d.. nice van to drive..
worked as a part time delivery man b4.. really nice and comfortable to drive..
the thing is, very difficult to go car park la.. too high.. but i rate the van 9/10
vans ive driven:
toyota liteace
toyota hiace
nissan urvan
kia pregio
mitsubishi L300
amongst these.. toyota is still very good.. 2nd is nissan.. the rest, don need to comment.. -
Thks for the comment guys. appreciated.
However, i would really like to pursue this case further to understand how my damages can be absorbed by the reseller agent?
What stands can i adopt to protect my consumer rights?
Otherwise, its just a conclusion that 2nd hand vehicles are an absolute "No=no" for all discerning car buyers!

Price go up before 7% G.S.T..!!!Originally posted by play_n_play:hmmm...the HL milk up from 2.5 to 2.75 per liter quietly, did CASE ask why??? -
i think hard to take to CASE, bottom line, u bought a lemon....buyer beware clause. if u didn't check condition of car properly, sometimes it just arse luck.
