Well if you're buying it without a RWC, you have to factor in the costs of obtaining a RWC as well....

has race pace checked it out yet?

Sorry forgot to mention that it comes with RWC and full compliance (rear light pending depending which spoiler i choose)

Racepace is booked for tomorrow.

Also, if you are buying it from a dealer remember you do have the compulsory 3 month warranty.

He might not have mentioned it but you get 3 months warranty with car purchases if the price is over $3k or something. Correct me if I'm wrong though, it was a while since i looked into it.

Its weird, he is technically not a dealer, just a compliancer. I think a dealer needs a license and hence that 3month warranty and 3 day cooling period would apply.

Found out that you can just de-tach the spoiler and leave the brackets on the boot so if its too rice/cop trouble i can just pop it off.

I havent confirmed any purchase with the seller yet, so i will be contacting him later tonight. There is still the whole issue about the degassed aircon working and who pays the rego.

When i was talking previously to the seller he said that if racepace finds any problems he will give back my deposit in cash straight away unlike the other dealer who has yet to send the check....

just a word of advice, what people say they'll do, and what they actually do in the event it comes to that, are 2 completely different things....dont take his word for anything...get it in writing, that you both sign, with a witness etc.

as for the spoiler, this is what it looks like when removed leaving the brackets in place on al's car....

it'd be even more discreet on a black car, so that part works in your favor.

aircon is part of compliance as far as i knew... not some "special" extra thing just for you - it's just standard, and if done properly, you have to regas... actually it should have a regas certificate before it even enters the country, if i remember correctly.

my 33 compliance didnt...and i havent heard/read of it being included in anyone elses...

I turned on the air-con to find it did not work..Lucky it was in the 3 month period that i noticed and had the dealer send out some one for me.

They will try anything to save money.

Same thing happend with the battery....dead as after 3 days..they were jump starting, for over 4 weeks.

$80 battery and their still trying to save some money. Anyway called RACV they charged $129 and then i gave the receipt to the dealer and got my money.

They take short cuts and hope you wont come back .

You must have all these things looked at.A air-con tech. will have a sticker close to the rad. letting you know who did the regassing and when. Make sure it is there.Get the battery tested...its for free at most centres.

DO NOT hand anything over until racepace have looked it over..

DO NOT agree to anything, from what you've said you already put a deposit down, so just wait until someone's gone over it..

Sounds like a good deal, however you should be able to do a bit better (but everyone always says that I guess)..

Good luck with it tomorrow, don't rush into anything.. From the sounds of it you'll be going through with it though.. get him to get it registered and than drive away!!..

As for "compliancers" selling cars.. I had the same thing.. if you sell more than 9 cars/year in NSW than technically your a dealer.. and need to have a license..

Reasons for not being licensed - they don't have to give 3 months warranty.. that's a huge one.. they just get someone to buy them.. they compliance.. than sell on behalf of the person who originally brought it in..

That applies to you because you got your car from a dealer...

I imported my car for me....It was de-gassed in japan, in accordance with the rules....

Compliance doesn't include re-gassing of the aircon, and its not up to them to replace my dead battery either...I did that when I got the car home :)

Had a chat to him just then, tried to get him to throw in rego/stamps for same price but was not happy with letting it slip for $13k. Asked him to do rego if i paid full for it and said he wont because I need to go personally to vicroads.

No deposit has been put down yet so nothing has been confirmed. He wants a deposit when the car is taken for preinspection at racepace and will refund if unsatisfactory.

hmmm... well my compliance included regassing...

anyways... i thought he could get it registered, you just have to get it changed to your name or something... like if you buy a car from a private seller, it's rego'd but in their name, so you switch it. I guess it's kinda the same as you going down to rego it but i think technically he can go get it rego'd... i think :)

So far it will cost me $13700 with 12mnth rego,stamps,rwc,compliance.

Assuming you paid $660 stamps, a total of $17160, we talking about $3500 difference and thats excluding insurance and alarm (seller actually said it has alam but has no idea about it, was a small rectangle with about 16 led's on it and had to disconnect it weird.. lol)

and it comes down to preference, you might as well tell me to buy a honda jazz as its new, but we dont really buy these cars to make a profit :)
