LIFE MEMBER
Well, I may hold the record for briefest ownership of a motorhome.
Anomaly in paperwork was spotted by the lady in the Prefecture when I went to register it. That rang bells, so I had all the paperwork looked at, as well as the vehicle. Nothing was right--the vehicle was probably not the one it purported to be, the paperwork was a right mess, etc. etc etc. The Gendarmes became involved, and the next step was to be the Department of Fraud.
I emailed the company last night , said I was returning the vehicle today, wanted a refund. no-one expected me to get it, I have to say, and today i was there 10 minutes with French speaking friend and was told straight away a cheque was being written. The salesman looked sh** scared, the owner did get a bit verbally abusive with my friend because I wanted to check the cheque (now in bank) but we left.
Not sure what their scam is and how it works (I suspect an older vehicle has taken on the identity of a newer one) but please be careful buying out there. there are sharks around everywhere.
I am now retiring from being a motorhome wannabe--too stressful!
