advised against buying
What we found
- Engine in limp mode: poor acceleration, hard starting, a dashboard full of warning lights, squeaks on start-up
- Oil dirty and below the mark — urgent change needed; leaks on the right side, a smell of burning oil; belts due
- Chassis: no alignment, pulls and wanders on the road, uneven tyre wear, front control arms need replacing, steering-wheel shake
- Body: doors have been off, no gap at the front left, right headlight and rear right light replaced, paint in poor condition
- Interior: A/C barely cools (left side only), cracked screen, no panoramic blind, one key only
Inspector's conclusion
We advised against buying. The car is in very poor mechanical condition: an engine in limp mode on top of an evidently bad earlier repair, plus chassis and body issues. This is not one to negotiate on — it is one to walk away from.
