You drive a prius.You've got no room to talk shit about anyone's vehicle preferences on this forum sir edge lord.
And what a fantastic shitbox it is. Also there is the other cars in the fleet, but we can skip past them.

Wow, I just wasted my time scanning thru this thread, surely 7 pages in a week has to be a super interesting thread, right? No, not at all.

TL;DR

Some dude bought a boring car at a reasonable price, but, shock and horror, a used car on South African roads has buckled wheels! Must be a lemon, surely, and you sir, are an idiot; apparently.

Anyway, I've learnt this lesson too many times; being the "car guy" in my family/friend group, I go out of my way to assist people to find decent cars, but the minute there is a problem (shock and horror) with a used car, I am somehow involved. It is nice to help people, but as per the thread title, no good deed goes unpunished.

Every piece of car advice I ever give always comes with the added proviso "but you must decide". Lmao.
 
Yeah also had it come back to me. So now I just respond with a "hey these are good options but you decide and search for it by yourself".

So, I finished my uni exams. An update on the BMW. The BMW got sorted. Audi paid the 50k to BMW to replace the headlight, replace x3 tyr rims and 4 new RF tyres. Motorplan with BMW is now intact. We did an interim oil service for the car before the proper hand over to us. Car is good, way much better than before. You can feel the difference. Currently no issues, just minor cosmetics which we will repair in time as it is a 2nd hand vehicle. Want to do a Ceramic coating and paint restore with proper car detail next year when there is cash.
