The car had a fault on the key pad when I bought it, making it impossible to start. numerous people have attempted to repair it, none have so far been successful!.
I cannot make any general comments, as I have been unable to drive the car.
I would think that before buying any car you would ask for it to be started so that you could listen to the engine and check the emisions?
Maybe it is just me that won't hand over money for a car without checking it out?
