Qatar in Doha B787 Business Zurich / Vol # 3 / The Way We Saw It
Racketeering used cars resident takes for a ride in Qatar.
Investing in a used car is the first choice for many residents, especially if the second car and there is no shortage of used cars, given the revolving door expatdom Since authorized dealers charge a premium, many look to the direct sale with the owner of these sales are usually facilitated by online forums.
However, the experience of a resident, exposed what appears to be a racket used car that hit more than a few buyers.
B P spoke to JustHere about her traumatic experience, and a resolution that involved great determination and planning.
There are two weeks B P looking for a car for his wife, fell on a post-announcement of a first line owner, Lady-led Nissan X-Trail 2009 It seemed a fairly reasonable agreement QR45,000.
BP immediately set up a meeting with the seller, who called himself Mohammed on the inspection of the car, there were a few bumps and scratches, but that wasn ta big concern I test drove down the block, and it seemed that I asked to get the computer test done, but the guy told me that another potential customer has already done the day before, and showed me the results they get a score was 97 find no faults, I agree about the case.
The seller has turned off his phone when the car was sold had 10 numbers, all off except when a car was announced.
But within days of taking possession of the car, he realized that the deal was not quite right.
The car broke down twice on checking with the mechanic, he learned that the car had been tampered with to show 42,000 kms, but had certainly made from 120 000 to 150 000 km The gearbox was damaged too C ' was clearly an old car, it would have cost me QR10,000-12,000 to bring the car in perfect working condition.
B P knew it was defrauded, and was now desperate to get their hands on the scamster, especially his money.
What followed was days of online search He looked to social media to try to get hold of him, but the seller was found Muhammad himself had introduced as an employee of Qatar Airways, so I called airlines and asked them they said they are investigating and as he had suspected, there was no such employee within the organization.
Then it online fumbled based on the mobile phone number used by the vendor, which revealed similar posts made on Qatar Living by this number there was a pattern to it every few days, the seller has set a new online car All offers that seem too good to resist.
A hard lesson no doubt, but we learned well, BP advises customers who intend to buy used cars online to do their due diligence.
Beware of the first owner sales positions, lady cars, as these positions are sometimes part of a scam.
Get the car personally checked by a mechanic Don t rely on computer tests that some owners use special oil supplements to make the high-powered car for a short time just to pass the test.
Check the quality of the tires, including the spare.
Note the last six digits of the engine number, and call the dealer service center to learn about the history of the car service you can get full ownership and accident history of the traffic department.
In the car test drives, don t just drive at slow speeds, take the car on the highway and see how it works at higher speeds, just over 100 km h agitation and power are often poor signs of engine problems.
However, the seller has turned off his phone when the car was sold had 10 numbers, all off unless a car was announced when the next car is on sale from this number BP has asked two of its friends to bid for one of the cars for sale a meeting was set up to inspect the car at a parking lot near the Radisson Blu Junction.
Once his friends began to inspect the car, B P joined them soon saw that Mohammed B P he tried to make a quick escape in vain.
While the seller didn t outright confess the racket, he admitted he was terrified of being reported to the police, and therefore tried to flee, he also admitted that he had sold only 6 cars up now he didn t argue when we accused of ruining people's lives and violating their religious beliefs, it also works in a garage in the industrial area, and not Qatar Airways as he told me.
There followed hours of haggling We sat in a restaurant and gave him the opportunity to buy the vehicle or sort them out with the authorities A family member had joined him, and they have agreed to buy the vehicle they QR30,000 paid immediately and pay the rest the next day when I transferred ownership It was more in less than 18 hours.
A message on Qatar Living warns people of scams carried out by the vendor mentioned in Article One of the most popular sites analysis of online providers reveals several similar operations that person Note the repeated use of leading lady and first owner .
I just bought a GMC Yukon 60k Qatar Living The man who sold me me to say that his wife was the only person who drove four days after the purchase, he broke down and major repairs needed the man who sold to us told us that he had eight months and that his wife had sold him told us that the dealer the odometer has been tampered with the man who sold ours is Qatari, so I think we lost our money I m ready to leave the country, as can absorb 90 000 t Qr debt.
