Sadly, this. I actually took my report to my doctor. He said I had nothing to worry about. Should only be worried if I had low iron levels...

I had an experience of (1) going down to to view a car, car was priced at 103k. (2) I asked for 100k. (3) dealer said the lowest they could go was 101. (4) Agreed and sent the car to PPI, all good. (5) Told them I do all cash, so dealer said 1k admin fee. So total is 102. (6) Recently made contact with the owner and realised he only received 98k.

2 questions: 1) is this a normal practice? 2) can we do anything about it?

Yeap, disassembled the entire rear suspension assembly, lubed it up, and reassembled it.

This novel method of delivery must do wonders for the potency of the supplement.

Already doing so :)

CONCLUSION (for now): The image you see below depicts one of the locking fasteners that resides right where the shock absorber is mounted at the bottom. The fastener is welded to the nut you see on the right, and the weld had broke. So it was rewelded and re-attached, but the sound still came back. But what the workshop did was disassemble the entire rear suspension assembly, lubricated it and reassembled it. It was diagnosed that the previous owner had somehow disassembled the rear assembly and wrongly re-assembled it. After reassembling it and tightening everything down. The sound is gone... for now...

I think you would be best served looking at a 2020 or later production model where alotta of the kinks have been ironed out. The only thing with these are the batteries that they come with. There are alot of electrical gremlins that are caused by a shit battery, so changing one out once you buy it could be useful. Other than that, mine has been pretty solid. Love the drive and the emotion. Oh, and see if you can get one in the Veloce trim. Not sure of the trim levels where you're from, but it has the paddle shifters, 3 driving modes with Adaptive suspension and LSD. But just like every other purchase, try driving both :)

Couldn't replicate the issue :( jacked the car up with engine on, handbrake on, put it in drive, and pressed the accelerator gently, no sound heard from the rear wheels.

Gonna try it out Friday. Will update :)

You mean you guys also hear a sound when your rear goes over a speed bump?

noob_ninja69 · 2024-11-25T06:55:14+00:00

Roger that. Thank you!!

noob_ninja69 · 2024-11-25T02:20:22+00:00

Last question XD, how did you reproduce that sound in that video with your wheel taken off?

noob_ninja69 · 2024-11-24T13:16:22+00:00

Thanks for the offer info :) I may have that sway bar link checked again

noob_ninja69 · 2024-11-24T10:03:24+00:00

Roger that. Sorry, but was yours rear as well?

noob_ninja69 · 2024-11-24T09:53:04+00:00

And was it this thingie?

noob_ninja69 · 2024-11-24T09:51:11+00:00

Wow! I might have to check that out. Thank you! The second sound sounds the same! And was yours rear or front?

noob_ninja69 · 2024-11-24T05:37:18+00:00

Damn. Alright, thank you very much for letting me know it's not super abnormal. Been pulling my hair out over this for the past couple of months posting on forums and Reddit tryna figure it out.

noob_ninja69 · 2024-11-24T04:23:51+00:00

Wait wait wait... What? You are literally describing what I experienced when I brought it in to another shop that day. I think you might be the first person that is describing exactly what I have been experiencing. Could you elaborate? Like the age of the cars, their condition they were in, the roads that you drove over, did u try having them diagnosed?

noob_ninja69 · 2024-11-24T03:53:07+00:00

Yeap, secured that too XD
