“At the beginning of September, I bought a used 2006 display” Ssangyong Rexton “in Vilnius. I paid 2,900 euros for it. This amount is also included in the sales contract. The seller convinced me for an hour that the car was in good condition He highlighted that the technical inspection had been completed 10 days ago, ”said the man who contacted the Delfi editors, adding that the seller had also written in the contract that the car was free of defects.
The man admitted that he trusted the seller and did not check the purchased car in any car workshop in Vilnius, he only went there after returning to Klaipeda.
“We just realized that the car was in very bad condition. There are many defects that make the car even unsafe to operate. And to repair, you would have to pay an additional 2,500-3,000 euros ”, said the interlocutor.
According to the interlocutor, he was told by an auto repair shop that engine oil was leaking, the front PTO was faulty, both front bearings were broken, many different tires on the suspension were broken, the muffler was broken, the rear brakes were broken and many other defects were found.
“The car is from 2006, so it is illogical to invest such an amount in it. And the defects appeared before I bought the car: I drove only 340 km to the car service with it,” emphasized the Delfi reader.
The seller did not go to languages.
Realizing that he did not want such a car, the man immediately contacted the seller and demanded that he return the car and return the money paid. However, this, said the Delfi reader, did not allow speeches.
“When I spoke with a lawyer, an independent car expert, I began to offer myself my conditions: bring the car back to Vilnius, refuel with a full tank of fuel and it would only return 2,500 euros,” the seller marveled, adding that is to return the amount paid and collect the car in Klaipeda.
He made no secret of the fact that he also treated such behavior as fraud, so he turned to police officers.
When to suspect
Ramūnas Mackevičius, director of the company Autopretenzija.lt, Delfi has said that there are indications that even an uneducated buyer who does not get much in the field of cars may doubt that he is being told the truth.

For example, if the car engine is cleaned, there is a good chance that grease will drip from this unit or the surrounding units.
Attention should also be paid to the interior. If the interior of the car is completely erased and the odometer boasts less than 200 thousand. mileage, most likely false. The fact that the mileage may be much higher than the seller says may also be suggested, for example, by car pedals and floor mats.
“If the mats are broken or not broken, it is a sign that the actual mileage may actually differ from what the odometer shows,” emphasized R. Mackevičius.
The specialists were also able to know only from the inspection if the car was involved in a traffic accident. It is emitted by the spaces between different parts of the body, thresholds, doors and the like. And with the help of the paint thickness gauge, it is possible to find out if the vehicle had to be repainted and the bodywork repaired.
