Not coming down on either side, i guess you could say i am on the fence, on the fence because i bought second hand, however the Max had not been 'as we describe' fettled, simply because the previous owner 'to my knowledge' had not pointed out the problems to the dealer or Factory, plus the car had only covered 1900mls.
I excused these issues with it been an Aeromax (a 1 off hand built car), i can also excuse any new design such as the 3W, because its a relatively new design, but as far as i am concerned the +4 & 4/4 that have been in production for many years should be nothing less than perfect.
PDI on these cars should be no more than checking levels, tyre pressures and lighting up objects that light up and switch off as and when required. end of.
Even as a hand built Machine ' with good quality control' these models from one to the next should come rolling out nothing short of perfect, lets face it these models are not 'one off' maybe in there specific colour or leather trim, with the odd accessory extra, but bottom line there are all one and the same.
As for an earlier posting ( i aint scrolling back, to many postings) regarding the seat belt hole being drilled twice or thrice times...discracefull, if someone was using that semi skill attitude, he would be back emptying bins for a living.
But why would i stay on the fence, here's why
Last week i received 3 x Paint mixing machines from my supplier in China, we have received the same model on 2 shipments previuosly with no problems.
on opening the caskets to inspect and test each machine for working all three machines are faulty ( cost of each machine £1800.00), they are tripping when the heater cuts in.
When contacting the Manufacturer in China, we were transfered to their european tech support, below is the answer i received by email after describing the problem. . . . . . . . " Thats the first time that has happened" . . . . . . . . Its not only Morgans and its not only cars.
