Mr.Simelane WeBuyCars is NOT in the business of fixing cars, I'm always preaching that on YouTube. It's sad that the poor customer is learning the hard way but it is what it is. That place is not for the faint hearted and don't just rely on dekra reports. DO YOUR OWN INSPECTION.

A friend of mine bought a C200 2014 model ko WeBuyCars, The Dome. Just when they got home, the car battery was dead. Checked the coolant and it was milky, he logged a complaint and they did run arounds saying he should go to a mechanic for diagnostics. Only to send him this🤣🤣

It now makes sense why we see a WeBuyCars billboard, social media post, radio and print ads everywhere we go.

WeBuyCars has an advertising campaign and is spending over R150m per year on these.

WeBuyCars The Derka report showed that the car had zero issues, yet inside the logbook there’s documentation that shows that a diagnostic was done a month before I collected the car and a mechanical issue was picked up. Meaning, WeBuyCars knew about it but still continued with the sale.
