Car Dealer - Parramatta Rd Warning

[-FIGJAM-]

Hey Guys

As the title says, i'm going to throw out a warning about <NAME REMOVED>. He is a Japanese importer located on Parramatta Road. All that i have to say that the salesman who delt with me was shonty. He pressured me into buying one of the cars like crazy and wouldnt even let me drive it back to the dealership without me first putting down a "lazy hundred". the dealer made me sign what i thought was a holding deposit slip but turned out to be a contract of saleship. the salesman's name was <REMOVED>. This in turn was pretty sad, but what is worse is that when i tried to collect my holding deposit, he refused to give it to me there and then. But claimed he would send me a check, now two weeks later, no check has arived.

I just want to warn other people about how this lot works. I brought my car from another dealership. during payment i asked him about the period of time before i am locked into a contract. The scary thing is that, after telling him my tale, without naming the dealership or salesman, he guessed the dealership and got the salesman's name in two guesses.

Just a warining to people that this dealership isnt the best to work with, especially if you're just looking around. however i am sure that there would be people out there that have had good experiences with them.

Cheers Guys

advise, contact fair trading and report the person and dealer ship.. false documentation and explaination of a document voids contract anyway.

record conversations in future if you cannot get a written recording.

I wouldn't mind going to check it out, and give the fella a hiding if he decides to do that to me. lol

I've had another dealer try an do this to me on parramatta rd. After a pre-purchase inspection showed the car was no good i asked for my $100 back but they refused. I jus sat there until they eventually gave in and swapped the inspection report for my 100.

It was something i didn't want to do as they could band aid fix all the problems on the report and sell it to the next sucker.

Do u have a copy of what u signed?

Id certainly be going to fair trading.

Although, if you thought you were being pressured into it all, why didnt you walk away?

If you havent got your cheque back, just keep going back every day!

forum rules don't allow you to name the car dealer. please use pm only

[GTR-80Y]

lol here we go again. PM'S ALL ROUND

[Duncan]

yeah we might wear out the pm function of the forums. but thems the rules

[Pezhead]

The guys here are correct. I work in Marketing and under the Fair Trading / Trade Practices Act what he did is illegal. I find that if I tell people like that I know my rights and they had better shape up or I will report. Know the process. You have to give them a chance to correct the situation before you can appeal. But if they mislead you then you have the right to notify the appropriate trade office.

Hope it all worked out for you.

My sentiments exactly,

I'm in no way condoning or defending the salesman's actions, but if you felt that you were being dealt with inappropriately why didn't you just say no and walk away? It must have been a very decent example you were looking at purchasing for you to put up with the salesmans antics because if it happened exactly the way you said it did then that's very dodgey

Hope it works out for you

A salesman on parra road tried to sell me an r34 GT that had been turbocharged, passing it off as a GT-T, you only had to look past the cheap chromies to see the pussy little non turbo brake setup, was even asking the same amount of money as a genuine GT-T aswell!

Yea i understand where everyone is coming from and i agree. i should have told him to go f**k himself and other such words, but i had taken the car for a test drive and he wouldnt get back into the car without me handing over the money. Was a crock of shit. The funny thing is i would have brought the car had he not been so pushy, i did like it but he turned me off it. that and it really didnt go that well.

The other dealership where i brought my car, the salesman there lodged a complaint against him for me. claiming that i was mis lead and that tactict like that were hurting his buisness by giving them all a bad name. Agree 100% with him. Anyway i will just have to see how it all turns out. doubt i will get my money back though from what ive heard from other people who have had similar problems.

We need people power i think. Everyone who has had a problem with them should all get together and lodge a formal complaint. Then perhaps the right people will start to take notice and try and fix the problem.

Why cant i use there name? Im trying to warn people about what seems to be a common problem. dont we have the right to know about such dealers, so that people dont keep getting screwed by them? i think in an instance like this the name is appropriate but i guess rules are rules. If anyone wants to know, pm me and i shall tell

[evil_weevil]

As I said, just keep going back there day after day, just sitting in their yard - they'll get the shits soon enough and say "I'll leave when I get my $$$ back f*kkers"

Or if the cars are unlocked - just keep sitting in them, lock yourself in! haha

nah j/k - dont want you to get into trouble!

you can name names, just not publicly, in case they see this and start suing the forum. Hence the reason they suggested PM.

Ah yeah, I know who he's talking about with 1 guess... very pushy and very full of shit.

I don't expect sales folks to know 'every' thing about their product inside out, but these jokers are like talking to a know it all dipshit teenager and just don't understand "no", they do however understand "f**k-off-ee"

[anfo]

i had it down in one guess also...sigh...there are so many sh*t stories that come out of that place its not funny...im surprised jilted customers havent come back for blood...
