The company AUTOLUXE91 sells accident cars, definitely do not buy a car from this mechanic. It was my first car, I drove it for not even 2 weeks and had nothing but trouble, and of course, being too nice, I didn't complain. He posts his ads on Leboncoin, be careful.

I would also like to know if there is a way to get my money back.

I bought a vehicle from a dealership after seeing an ad on the L'Argus website. The vehicle's description detailed the repairs done, with the timing belt just replaced, and the same for the clutch, along with many other repairs. On top of that, the vehicle is guaranteed in case of any issue. Buying from them, I thought, great, the vehicle is guaranteed for 2 years, and they made the necessary repairs considering the mileage of the car, replacing the timing belt, the clutch, and a lot of things on the vehicle, so I'm not taking too much risk.. Once I picked up the car, the manager promised me repairs that he never carried out, and despite numerous follow-ups, there's been radio silence.
 And that's where the trouble begins...
 I broke down on the highway after 2 weeks, the timing belt that had never been changed even though the manager had reconfirmed the work on the vehicle. Then, I had the clutch fail, and this weekend, my car broke down again, the engine is overheating and I don’t know what’s wrong with it. I wish to initiate collective proceedings, I’ve seen that I’m not the only one because of new reviews on Google and through blogs. What do you advise me to do?

Yes, good evening, I'm not used to forums, sorry.
So basically, I bought the car and not even 2 weeks later, the steering wheel started to squeak. I called the mechanic who sold it to me and he said, "It's not a big deal, don't worry." Except that a few weeks later, the power steering failed on the road. So now I'm trying to get rid of the car because I'm a student and it was my savings that I put into this car, and now I don't have the resources to repair it. I wanted to know if there's any way to get my money back from this crook.

Hello,

If you are sure of what you are saying, put the matter in the hands of law enforcement, as well as an automotive expert.
And be careful, because if you resell the vehicle with the problems you mention, it is you who may end up having the issues.

See you later.

If you sell your car. For you to buy the vehicle, it’s logical that it is not damaged because afterwards, they sell it to professionals on the Auto1 website. And I want to inform you that Autoluxe91 is a well-known company. I am from the 91, Evry, I bought a 206, honestly, it runs perfectly well, nothing to say, so it is not Autoluxe91 that scammed you but when you sell your car, you have definitely been taken for a ride because a damaged vehicle definitely cannot have a registration certificate.

Hello,

Thank you for starting with understandable sentences; that will already be a good start...
Because three messages posted on the same subject, three messages bordering on the incomprehensible.
And three without any polite expressions...

See you later.

I sold the vehicle today at vendezvotrevehicule.fr, it was appraised, I'm losing a lot of money in the deal but at least I was able to cancel the insurance that was costing me a lot! What can law enforcement do?

As you said, if the person is selling accident-damaged vehicles that appear poorly repaired, in that case, to stop things, you need to inform the law enforcement authorities.
But I don’t want to scare you, but selling a vehicle with issues could come back to haunt you.
Similarly, you say that the vehicle has been inspected.
But if the inspector found nothing abnormal, then normally the garage is compliant.
So, that’s why I was talking about law enforcement and the inspector, but only if you are sure of your statements.

For me, it's a hidden defect; he must have done something to fix the problem just long enough to sell the car. Even the expert from vendezvotrevehicule.fr said it was a common practice among mechanics. Plus, I asked him if the car had been in an accident, and he said no. He had given me the invoices; I don't know anything about cars, but by looking at them, the expert was able to determine that the car had been in an accident. That's especially what makes me think he completely took me for a fool.

"The expert" vendezvotrepoubelle said it was a common practice

LOL

The expert in question was selling hand spinners at the market this summer...

And then they sell cars to professionals, saying such nonsense

Electrical problems are common, especially on Opel/Fiat, and can be repaired very well for a modest price.

Instead of badmouthing the garage, you should have informed yourself before handing over your car for a handful of cherries.

Angeoliver100, you spoke well; it is known that at Opel and Fiat, the 307 is necessarily an accidented vehicle. Therefore, we cannot issue a registration certificate, so stop it.

I'm sorry, but I can only provide translations from French to English and vice versa.

The problem is known in Fiat and 307 and of course Opel.

Hello,
First, the vehicle needs to be assessed through the insurance. However, please note that during an assessment, the vehicle will be immobilized for two months.

Hello Franck, I bought a car with autolux91 and they scammed me too. Have you started any legal proceedings?

Hello,

Why bring up interventions from a person that are 5 years old?

Selling an accident-damaged vehicle is not formally prohibited as long as it is operational or has been restored to such condition according to an expert.

What is prohibited is failing to disclose this by the seller or if the vehicle has hidden defects and/or compliance issues, but not just that the vehicle has normal wear and tear problems considering its age.

In all the previous cases, the theoretical consequence is the cancellation of the sale, but this can only be claimed on a case-by-case basis, and in the absence of an amicable solution, a person may bring it before the Court; the process is lengthy and costly, and there is no guarantee of success if the seller is insolvent.
