After having been living in Fuerteventura for quite some time, the time had finally arrived to buy myself a car. I had my heart set on a 4×4! However, as we all know, car dealers have a reputation of being, shall we say, less than trustworthy – promising you the world and often failing miserably to deliver. Also, as a woman, I am well aware that we are sometimes viewed as “soft targets” and “easily fooled” ( not always true by the way…).
Anyway, to cut a long story short, my Spanish teacher gave me a phone number and recommended that I get in touch with a guy on the island who he had previously used and successfully done business with, ensuring me that he was very honest and 100% trustworthy.
His name is Wieberen, a Dutchman with his own company Aboutcars, he has lived on Fuerteventura for many years and knows his way around.
His business ethic is very, very simple- Aboutcars deals only in quality vehicles, no wrecks!!!! Thanks to Wieberen, I got my car – not a single scratch, brand new tires, new brakes, guaranteed until 2013, aircon, clean (no lingering aroma of tobacco!), radio/CD player, spotless upholstery etc. Fantastic!
My car looks as though it´s come straight from the showroom! All I can say is, if you are thinking of purchasing a car, you won´t find anyone more reliable or trustworthy than Aboutcars!
However, as we all know, car dealers have a reputation of being, shall we say, less than trustworthy – promising you the world and often failing miserably to deliver. But Wieberen from Aboutcars is different. His business ethic is very, very simple- Aboutcars deals only in quality vehicles, no wrecks!!!!
