I think the garage should pay for new tyres as the ones supplied would not have been roadworthy.

Is the car actually "as advertised?"

If not there could be a very strong case for the car to be presented as it was represented in any advert...

Yes and no , its not really, it had more " paint " damage then they said, and it was not as good condition, some parts of the car looks mint and some dont like rear bumper that has clear coat flaking, and same with the front fenders which are a differnt color, but interior and stuff is brand new looking.

I should ask for new tires as they are not up to today standar, but I just hope they pay for the paint then I will let it slide , but I should really ask for new tires really =/ but will see.

Remember when my black car was repaired the paint did not match and went back twice to be sorted.

So I got a mate of mine to test drive the car since I cant, and he found some interesting things,

This is the main one
as you can see there is a issue with the paint on the rear booth, I know for a fact this is not rust but somthing else, I am sure and HOPE this can be a warranty thing I think its wierd a 2007 model car has this, but oh well, I guess thats what I ge for getting a good price car, everything else was perfect mint condition especially the interior, cant wait to drive tomorrow to get it, and show you guys pictures ! =D

take care all

Hi

That thing is well known on VW and Audi's, especially on the tailgates.

We used to call it "zincbubbles". It is rust under the paint, so you must get it fixed, but as you've the used car warranty, the dealer should pay for it. It's not rust from the inside.

Send the pic to the dealer, where he can see the number plate as well, and if he agrees to pay for it, ask if you can let a local dealer do the repaint of the tailgate. That could save you a lot of driving.
We sometimes did that if we had sold a car to someone in the other end of the country, and we are talking about little Denmark where 500 km would get you across the country.

Just to let you all know, I recently found 3 of those on my 2008 i30 tailgate, so not even Hyundai is without this issue.

Hi Glac, you have some good contacts, that helps. You'll soon get it sorted.
