Hey good people. If any one of you is looking to buy a new car, please for your peace of mind don't buy this black Skoda Superb Laurin & Klement. Reg no: LB17 MMA. Advertised by Lookers in West London.

I bought this car back in September, but returned it and reversed the whole transaction. I should have known that car wasn't treated nicely as when I test drove it it was pretty disgusting inside. But the great price fooled me. Anyway on the test drive I noticed that the brakes were shaking, but I was told they will be fine as the car was sitting for so long, I just need to drive it and it will be okay. Which it never did. I picked the car up and the car was pretty grime. Coffee spill in the centre console area and sticky patched everywhere, whoch I did clean out nicely. On the next morning the suspension was very noisy. I found a topic here..

I showed this to Skoda they said if this is the noise I am hearing I shouldn't even drive the car. I booked it in for a check up but I had to wait 4 days so I had the car for the weekend, I drove it on the M3 pushed it to 75mph and the car was shaking at that speed and the pulling to the left. The brakes were still shaking.

On Monday morning when I was driving to the dealership I wanted to switch off the start stop for the engine. I couldn't press the buttons. They were rock solid including the mode button. This made me so angry that I just wanted to get rid of this pile of ****. When I arrived at Lookers I was furious. The funny thing was everything I mentioned their head tech couldn't replicate....so the after sales manager drove the car home. Who did find the shaky brakes, he put it down to rust and offered to replace the rear disks, but I said to him the front ones are the ones which can make the steering move. Then he spoke to the manager and they offered to replace all 4 disks, but not the pads....according to him the front pads come at 12mm new and these are 10mm, they are just fine. But they come at 20.5mm new. They have also found some damage on the nearside front alloy which according to them could have caused the vibration. The sticky switch had to be replaced as they couldn't clean it out.

According to Lookers this car was driven from Chelmsford to Brentford by their sales manager (it had 19404 miles on the clock) when I returned it I was told that a young workshop manager used the car for 3 months in London and he kept his coffee in the centre console cupholder, I was also told after I returned it that they even had to replace the battery as the car was standing for so long. I hated the car and I hate the dealership. it is a bunch of lying cowboys. With terrible customer service. Apart from one of the sales execs Alfonso and their ex sales manager Thanos was a great guy too.

If you guys don't want endless issues please for God sake don't buy this car. Luckily I managed to reverse the transaction and didn't need to live with this car any more.

False news, the car is not being towed by the donkeys, it risks running them over!

 

Great image though which deserved to go viral.
