Financial Misconduct and Deceptive Practices

The conduct of the company represents clear financial misconduct. They mislead customers by hiding significant and costly vehicle defects. The vehicle we purchased was found to have major technical issues that we believe were known before the sale but not disclosed. After identifying these defects, the company refused to take responsibility or compensate us for our losses, instead offering avoidance and excuses. This situation is particularly troubling given our long-term business relationship: we have bought 155 vehicles from them. However, in the past two years, both customer support quality and the accuracy of vehicle condition descriptions have declined significantly. Such actions are not just unfair but completely unacceptable. We do not recommend engaging with this company — you risk losing both time and money. Vehicle Information
Make, model: Volvo XC70 2.4 D4 Momentum AWD Inventory No.: LJ61886 VIN: YV1BZ8756E1180965 Purchase date: 20 October 2025 Delivery date: 17 November 2025 Claim Subject
Upon receiving the vehicle, several serious defects were found that were not mentioned in the auction listing. Additionally, the photos in the auction seem to belong to another vehicle, which is misleading and deceptive. Detected Defects
The engine coolant reservoir was nearly empty upon delivery. A warning for "low coolant level" appeared on the dashboard. A test drive indicated excessive pressure in the cooling system, signaling a serious engine issue. The coolant level photo in the auction does not match the vehicle received, suggesting deliberate concealment. Non-Conformity
The auction description failed to mention any coolant warning. The listing featured photos from a different vehicle. Concealed serious defects greatly diminish the vehicle’s value and usability. These factors represent a fundamental breach of contract. Attachments
Video evidence of the defect; Copy of the auction listing showing mismatched photos. Request
Due to serious hidden defects and the vehicle’s non-conformity with the auction description, I hereby request: Cancellation of the purchase due to fundamental breach of contract; Return of the vehicle; Full refund of 5848 EUR (vehicle price + transport costs). The company ignored my request both on their platform and during our phone conversation, responding in a dismissive, arrogant, and unprofessional manner. Such behavior is unacceptable and Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this company and caution potential buyers about hidden defects and poor customer service.
