Morning CoGs. Last time I’ve said:

At the same time the new-old-car needs MOT (or Hauptuntersuchung) and I’m unsure what problems will raise their ugly head.

Well, that went as well as was expected. Short summary: my father in law (who bought the littler bugger) has been screwed over big time. Approximated repair costs: 1400€ + 200€ for the MOT itself. Longer list (for those interested in such things)

• Frame on the right side back needs welding
• Exhaust needs parts
• Lambda probe needs replacing
• Left headlight needs replacing
• Front breaks need new break discs and pads

Additionally the car was sold with “next MOT 03/2026” (which is an obvious lie) and with 165.300km on the odometer. Garage did a readout of the compute-module. it’s at 181.000km.

Sadly my FIL has bought it “as seen” and with no contract whatsoever. So trying to get the money back from the seller would be a very difficult thing if even possible.

Needles to say my mood is at rock bottom currently. I just hate every car seller currently. Especially those who take advantage of easy believing people.

Sorry for the off topic rant but that needed to leave my system. Now coffee.
