So And So

all those problems seem very minor. shouldn't cost ya 2 much to fix. im my experiance car yards are not the way to go.

thats not the point mate, he shouldnt have to pay for all that.

how he sold you a lemon in the 1s place is beyond me. did u check the car n ne way?

i also think this "cant name the business" rule is bs. although i know why its a rule its still bs

I agree, its ridiculous that this site tries to protect the (seemingly) corrupt.

If someone has a bad experience they should let others know, just like if they have a good experience.

Any legitimate car dealerships would prefer this as they would get the business they deserve for being legitimate.

yeah well i already cast my view on it... really i think its quite soft. It doesnt seem to be policed much when it comes to non performance shop type businesses either... which is pretty gay but what can you do.

So go to another forum.

It isnt your forum, its ours. We run it how we like, and in such a way that ensures the site stays without any threats of being shutdown.

If you dont like it, tough.

And Ni, what threads do you speak of? Im not aware of any.

if they supplied you with a roadworthy certificate, and if anything doesnt comply with roadworthy standards THEY HAVE TO FIX IT for you and if they dont all you need to do is report it and they will get a HUGE fine, and then random checks on some of there previous road worthied cars, then if they fail, they loose there roadworthy issuing thingy, and lots more fines for them and they have to pay to bring all the cars that failed to road worthy standard

theres always someone on here complaining about something... ie. the thread not long ago which named and pin pointed the location of a particular servo out near my joint that was selling dodgey fuel. There have been threads which i could probably dig up naming bad service and shit food in restaurants... not McDonalds or big chains, but smaller ones which under the definition of this rule could hamper their business.

maybe we could make an addition like "If you comment on your good encounters with a workshop then your not allowed to mention its name"

lol

but like i said... what can ya do. Its the rules and theyre already in place JUST IN CASE. Better to be safe then sorry... live with it.

EDIT::

BTW when you say

It isnt your forum, its ours.

Whos ours? the admins? ze germans? the star wars nerd affiliation?

hey i bought a f**ked r34gtt from #some-place# live in alice the control arm was the wrong 1 the brakes was glazed ther was an oxy burn to the left front rim they installed a front mount and dident bolt it down and the turbo blue within 2 weeks and all the paint is flaking of the front bumper

:: edit'ed by paulr33 ::

we can't allow workshops to be named unfortunately

Hate to say this but did you get a mechanical inspection done before you handed the money over? Did you agree in writing on the condition of the car? If not, you should have.

Most of those things should be covered under the warranty that you get when buying any car from a dealer, so give them a call. But really you should have already known about them before you bought the car:

Didnt you see the oxy burn?

Didn't you feel something wrong with the steering/suspension when you test drove it?

Did the FMIC kit you bought come with supports? Did you check that it had them when you picked the car up?

Its Christians forum as you are well aware

And we Admin people help him keep it in order.. just like zee Germans!

If you see a thread thats slamming someone, there is a button called "report"

Use it

I try to read most threads across most sections, but... sometimes i cant.

lol

Interesting that you registered on here a day or so before you posted.

Did you not think it would be a good idea to register on here and ask questions relative to buying a Skyline prior to putting your money down?

I also think it would not be to much to expect some photographic evidence to substantiate your claims. Both before and after.

I would be willing to bet every member on here would have almost worn the paint off photographing their Skyline the day after they bought it.

Its too easy to defame a business with nothing more than someones unsubstantiated claims however valid they may or may not be.

If valid I certainly hope you get compensated! - Go to VCAT WITH photos.

[VB-]

care to PM me the workshop you bought it from? maybe inark if you know which one it is/which one u think it is

[GTR_STEALTH]

So true.

Imagine if you owned a business selling Skyline parts/cars and you didnt give some knob the 50% discount they want so they crack a teary and come on here detailing how they were treated so "unfairly"

The same effect can be achieved by focusing on who the good, recommended workshops and car yards are.

and if that happened we'd all just laugh and slap him with a wet fish...

cause wet fisheses hurts more... SLAP!

oh the imagery

Car warranties from used dealers are generally not worth the paper they're printed on, esp when it comes to skylines because as soon as you mod the car, your warranty is generally void.

You really ought to read the fine print in detail before letting a warranty sway your opinion or 'seal the deal' etc.

Most of the time they will find a way to get out of fixing your car.

Agreed, and I don't see anyone offering to pay or chip in for the costs/settlement when Christian gets sued for slandering a business.

I would also like it to be a free world where everyone can tell their side of the story and thus avoid making the same mistake but it's ultimately Christians' financial security at risk.

As soon as you let one person have a free for all and hope nothing comes of it, everyone will want to do it... much easier to draw the line and stick to it.

I'll just stick to PM's, phone calls and chatting in person when I want to have a whinge.

Even then the amount thats covered is often very limited.

A car dealer tried to offer warranty when i was looking around for my 32GTR. But when you have a good read of it, the motor is only covered upto $1000 worth. Im no expert, but im willing to bet that a rebuild of my motor would cost alot more than $1000 should something go wrong....
