Just picked had an Arnage T that I bought out of state at auction delivered. The car won't start, alarm keeps going off and key fob not responsive. I changed batteries and key fob batteries without success. The key fob does not lock or unlock the car.

Did you change both batteries in the boot? (There's the "main" battery and the starting battery.)

Mine has done this before, but it was always when the main battery was low (and even then it would start).

No, i checked the voltage on the passenger side (LHD car) and it was good. That was the smaller, starter battery. The other battery was roasted so I replaced it.

I get a throttle response error on the dash also. It seems like the car is not firing in any way

Voltage doesn't necessarily mean it's good -- it could indicate just a surface charge. Turn the headlights on and see if it goes down within a minute or so....
