Glac's Crappy Audi (and other stuff)

Glacius · **Reply #90: April 23, 2014, 09:55:25**

Hello fellas!! its been a while now! sorry i have been afK to busy with house

SOrry I havent been much active but I am here now and then,

updating news on my status on my cars etc

So I found out just this week that my car has almost been TOTALED! it had damage worth of 260,000 nok which equals to around 43,000 $ dollars =/ , all the panels on the car EXCEPT the roof and rear fenders have been changed lol , its insane, so this was never said to be when i bought the car and in Norway this is a fault that should have been told to me, cus they would have known this,

Also found out that the " flywheels "is almost worn out , so that needs replacing its around 5000$ to change =/ its also something they told me was OK but again it was not, so I have 2 options now.

1 get my old car back and forget this audi shit =/

2. Make thempay for all the repairs, pain , flyhweel etc , and keep the car

I have not made my mind up yet, but because of this great community i might get my old car back as they still have it =). and I also miss my i30.

If they fix all the stuff I have made a list of to them I will keep the car, but I find it unlikely as i payed A LOT More for the car thati its worth .

I will keep u guys posted ! take care

and happy after easter =D

I seem to remember that you were unsure whether or not to purchase this Audi.......

Glacius · **Reply #92: April 23, 2014, 10:01:18**

I have had it for 4 months now =) its been good but I have discovered some unsettling stuff since then =/ its just my bad luck i guess

Mike SX · **Reply #93: April 23, 2014, 10:06:41**

Luck should have nothing to do with it.
Not a good purchase, very unfortunate

Never mind - onward & upward

Glacius · **Reply #94: April 23, 2014, 10:08:23**

yeah ur right, im just shocked that some dealers would do this, I am glad i have my dad that has been in car industry / as a salesman new cars for almost 20 years =D so he got my back and will fix everything =D

Hi Glac,

Sorry to hear your news, if I remember, one of the reasons for selling your I30 was the road to your house. I remember you saying that the i30 would get damaged if you kept it. Is the road still the same or has it been improved.

We'd love to see you back with an i30, but whatever is best for you of course.

Good luck with your negotiations.

Glacius · **Reply #96: April 23, 2014, 10:28:54**

HI Phil

Yeah the main reason for the Audi was the 4x4 system, and yes the road has been improved but its not 100% yet =/

I cant see my i30 manage the hill in winter time, thats why I got the audi cus i have had no problems except that one time to drive up in snow/ice and so on it has been amazing,

As you can see here how the road is its not that bad now it used to be worse, but when this is icy and snowy, no FF car can get up there xD haha

That's a fairly steep driveway, but beautiful scenery.

Glacius · **Reply #98: April 23, 2014, 11:46:44**

jepp, so in winter time its horrid to drive, its better in summer

Do you have some come back under consumer law?

If so, use it and aldo, claim for compensation for the inconvenience etc

yeah mate basic all " dealers " are obligated to tell the person that buys the car EVERYTHING about it and hte history of the car,
even though they didt not know it has been damaged, it still makes the responsible, so in the end it all falls back to the dealership,
and I am telling them that if they want me to keep the car, they would have to fix the faults INSTANTLY or I will give the car back and try find another car, or get my old back, ,problem there there will be about the old car, is that the idiot left my old car out in the contract so it says no where that I traded my old car in for this one, =/ so that means I cant claim it back without buying it <.<.

Anyway Norway state laws are good and I can complain and i will win cus they have digged their own grave when he ticked under " has not been badly " damamged in my contract .
Cus the car has been damaged SO bad it was almost unusable, and The paint is really bad so I will get them to respray the car cus its such a bad paint job =/ .

If they pay the repairs or swap car back that would be fair.

Hi Glac thanks for the update. Sorry to hear your tale of woe. I think you will know in your heart which option to take. Keep in touch! Or else..

THere is to much to repair =/ the paint is bad and its started losing the clear coat in many places I see my self getting money back and buy a new car maybe new i30 =) will see or even i40

glac

Phil №❶ · **Reply #104: April 23, 2014, 12:45:09**

I was going to suggest that Glac, but the i30's not 4wd.

Any chance of getting a replacement Audi, same type and configuration at no cost to you, after all, that's what you paid for.

Glacius · **Reply #105: April 23, 2014, 12:47:06**

yeah I could get that as well, but they dont have a car in and I dont really want a car from them anymore xD

Phil №❶ · **Reply #106: April 23, 2014, 12:59:40**

You could insist that it be checked by a motoring organization before acceptance. Then you will be finished with the dealer.

Glacius · **Reply #107: April 23, 2014, 13:04:08**

yeah I have had that done they said I need to replace the flywheel and the brake disks , the car shouldt have been sold thats the thing the damage was so high it was almost a unusable car =/, but will see i will keep u guys updated I have been in contact with a laywer now so lets see what the can do =)

Phil №❶ · **Reply #108: April 23, 2014, 13:05:27**

I meant the replacement car Glac.

Glacius · **Reply #109: April 23, 2014, 13:12:46**

ah lol !Hhaha yeah I could do that to Phil

rustynutz · **Reply #110: April 23, 2014, 14:50:59**

Good luck with it all Glac, whatever you decide to do....

glac

From what you are saying i would be requesting a full refund plus compo.

It would appear that no matter what is done to the car it will cause you problems when you sell it later and the resale value will be very low.
Plus you will have to declare its history...

Get rid and buy another, even if it is your i30.

Re not detailing p/x on invoice.
You have proof re transfer document to dealer don't you plus monetary figure?

Hello Glac, sorry to hear about this.
Is it possible to have a lawyer act on your behalf?
Make the dealer responsible and don't "buy" your old car back. they know you traded it.
Good luck.

I have said it before, you live in a most beautiful part of the world.

That's really sad Glac...

Glacius · **Reply #114: April 25, 2014, 07:53:38**

Hi Guys thanks for the grear respond =D

I am in contact with Laywer now and He said i have a strong case, onyl thing is that I accepted the damage on the car last year, I forgot about this, but That was only based on the INFO I had back then now i Know a lot more, and I feel they have misshold info, also my flywheel needs replacing and that wont be my task I dont have 5000$ =/ , sO i will tell them either they fix the main shit on the car or i will bring it to court ! . I am sad this has happend and I hope this will solve quick but again Iwill keep you guys posted =)

thakns for the entusiasm =D it makes me better

regards Glac

Shambles · **Reply #115: April 25, 2014, 08:10:05**

Bloody shame, all that messing about

It was the car you really wanted, and you drove all day to buy it and another day to fetch it back home

All for nothing... I feel so sorry for you, but have fingers crossed for the best outcome

Glacius · **Reply #116: April 25, 2014, 08:14:49**

yeah thats it also spend 500$ on the trip to get the car for gas and so on, and then I used 3500 km on the teller to get it back =/ so pretty pissed you can say that =( but i hope it will all sort it self out fast =)

Asterix · **Reply #117: May 03, 2014, 22:03:28**

Hey Glac, sorry to hear about all your troubles.

You should have a Hyundai Santa Fe 4x4 with that driveway.

Lovely scenery where you live..

Shambles · **Reply #118: January 27, 2015, 10:34:58**

Hey Glac - happy birthday and all that

Did this sad business get sorted out?

Doggie 1 · **Reply #119: January 27, 2015, 10:36:11**

That's a bump and a half!
