I dont agree with this... any car that is repaired properly by qualified garages etc will be as good as new, do any of us no what out current vehicals have been threw?? i used to work for kia and Merc (and merc trucks) and some of the brand new unregisterd vehicals that arrive with major damage get repaired and sold as BRAND NEW and the owners have never known about it and never returned with problems, sooo the last few posts have been decent people not knowing what they are talking about,
I AGREE Jay should get his money back as he didnt want to buy a damaged vehical, but its NOT a complete rite off... The thread has been side tracked.
i agree.had a relative of mine who did an accident with his vw golf,they cut the front of the chassis rails the two sides,welded new bars with bolts and re inforcements and cross members and his car returned good as new and even stronger than before,the same with me old man in his mercury tracer that was hit on the side front fender and the whole front side of the car was twisted,got that repaired and straightened again,and nothing was affected in the handling or driving,he bought the car brand new from the showroom for 2 months and ended up hiting it?scraping it for that hit i wouldn't agree.
jay ur car is repairable,we r talking of a range rover,how the chassis will be weak,come on guys u know how much tough is the range rover,no way that axle or chassis was twisted from an accident,i am sure it won't be that of a serious twist,the chassis of the range rover is among the strongest chassis in the world,maybe a car previously hit the rear tire and ended up moving or bending the chassis rail,it is only 5mm as it has been said.
jay just wait few more days,take and accept ur car continue loving it and throw some money at it.when it comes to airbags they seem that they never had been changed and they r due,mine was with the 15 years old never replaced airbags,one more thing to add,consider that u saw that the airbags were bad and u loved the car,u wouldn't have bought it coz of bad airbags,and oil leaks??we r talking of a used car,and any used car will be a money pit at the begining of ownership.i say if the engine,tranny,t/box,vc coupling,diffs,paint work inhterior is good keep the damn thing.
