When I picked up the car, the gentleman was very nice. It was raining and it was before 11:00 PM. He said I had half a tank of gas, but the LPG tank was empty, and I needed to fill up. I was in a hurry because I had to be at the hotel by midnight. I didn't thoroughly inspect the car, believing it would be fine and that the nice guy wouldn't cheat me. As soon as I started driving, the check engine light and SRS error code came on. I ignored the problem because I was in a hurry to get to the hotel. The car is running, so that's the most important thing. The car was pulling very hard to the right. When I saw the car in the morning, I was in shock. The check engine light and SRS error code were flashing, the tires were bald and 11 years old, the windshield wouldn't go down, and everything was smashed. But I think the Albanian gentleman is nice, so I'll stick with it for a few days. I drove very slowly, up to 70 km/h, even on the highway, because the tires were bald and the car brakes poorly. When I returned the car, another gentleman looked at it carefully, as if it were new, even though it was a 25-year-old Mercedes. But after a few minutes, he said everything was fine. He didn't want anything from us. The next day, the owner wrote that I had cheated him because I hadn't filled up the gas tank when it was empty. He went to a mechanic and put the car on a lift, saying I had damaged the end of his control arm. This is ridiculous. Maybe I'll even pay him to replace the shock absorber and repair the SRS. He's a fraud and a conman, demanding extra fees for normal wear and tear parts. I didn't wash the car. I wanted to pay when I returned it, but the man said it was fine and that I didn't want anything. If the owner wants to pay for the car wash, he should send me his account number in a message on rentfromlocals, and I'll send him €10. If you want an old, beat-up car with 11-year-old bald tires, rent from him.
