So the car inspection (360 degree is still not done, there is no answer for the vibrations etc) and the sales agent is the most unprofessional. We wrote a signed letter, asking to withdraw from the contract, he then replied it would cost us 10% purchase fees. Can this be correct, we haven't even tak...

You can't add anything to the contract....the contract was signed after the test drive (before the inspection etc).

OP here with an update: So I found a certified used car (albeit 350 km away) and drove there...the sales guy gave only 30 minutes to test drive! It was a certified preowned, so I asked about the 360 degree (multi-point inspection), and he said it was not yet done! I asked him so how come this car is...

Thanks, I returned the lamp to the store and showed them the picture to let them know it was defective (so they don't sell it to others). I will check about the RCD....

Yeah, that was the point.....to know if it is something to have the landlord involved and raise an alarm (instead of looking like a fool

Tenant

Yes you are correct, I did write Berlin earlier.

Then the answer would seem to be that you either have to reduce/flex your requirements (for example, the Skoda Octavia instead of the more or less identical Golf) or increase your budget I'm afraid. Have you considered EU-reimported new cars as an alternative? I don't mind increasing the budget, bu...

I don't know if this is the right forum or place for a question like this, but the title "volt, ampere and Watt" encouraged me :) I recently bought a new Dimmable LED floor standing lamp. After plugging it in, the brushed steel surface had a tingling/vibratory (weird, hard to describe) fee...

Unfortunately, I am already in this trap

Okay, convinced, I am not going that route. Thank you again for taking time to reply.

Another good site to check is autouncle.de: Thanks, I did check it out, and like you pointed out, it has a couple of helpful features (over mobile.de). Most cars however are from Autohero and so I am back to deciding weather it is safe to buy from an online dealer without test drive (I do realize t...

Autohero is an online shop for buying cars directly. Autohero tends to have good prices but I wouldn't use it because you don't have the possibility of seeing the car before ordering it, never mind having a test drive. No thanks. Thanks for taking time to do the search for me! The above reply about...

Thanks for the reply....my criteria are very restrictive :( Like umfallfrei, not more than 2 previous owners, 150ps, low mileage, 2018-2020 model, automatic, benzin. With these the number is really low (far and wide). Hence I was wondering about online purchase. I see cars on some sites like Autoher...

Hello,
I am looking to buy a used vw golf 7.....most autodealers in the neighborhood only have the new golf 8. It seem if I have to buy a used one, I would have to do an online purchase. Anyone car to share the experience, suggest reliable online source or advice in the process.
Thanks

Hopefully, you have Rechtschutzversicherung in case you need to get a lawyer involved.

I am hoping not to get to the stage where I would need to involve a lawyer (nothing against Lawyers, really).

He/she has insurance but didn't cause the damage. It was a teenage guest whose parents don't have insurance.

True

Being liable but not having a liability insurance -> you're still liable. Simple as that. I understand this, however, if they stop communicating there is no way (short of litigation) to go after someone, and that would be cumbersome and costly, wouldn't it be? Also in real world it would be hard to...

Hello, Would a renter's haftpflichtversicherung cover rental property damaged by their guests (guests are disowning the responsibility as they have no haftplichtversicherung). (Incident: during a kids party, one of the kids threw a ball that damaged the roof and broke a plastic panel, which is a lit...
