Car Dealer - Parramatta Rd Warning

[anfo]

temp bans arent so bad. it gave me time to reflect on my actions in the past.

it was so worth it.

LOL

its heaps easy to guess....just think of the dodgiest dealer you can imagine on parra rd...oh yeah and im sure everyones heard from other stories about this place from all their mates i know i have...

[Yidz]

I believe I know the dealer you are talking about as I had a fairly average time at one of the dealers on Parra Rd. They tried to push me way too hard to buy something after a test drive. He wouldnt even let me drive it unless I put $XX so he drove it himself, flogged the living crap out of it and smoked seconds down the back street!!

On the other hand, I bought my car from Tokyo Imports on Parra Rd. Good guys and were more than happy to help

I almost bought my car from there but found one slightly better somewhere else. Tokyo had alot of r32's to choose from but only 1 with sunroof. Salesman was decent too.

Yeah mate. They were top guys. They also had a good selection of 32's in there when I bought mine. Mine was the only blue one

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

Exactly

Did the sales rep grab your hand and force you to sign the paper? At the end of the day there are good sales reps and bad ones, ive met some shockers, but never met one that forced the customer to sign a page.

As the customer, you hold all the power during bargaining.

Interesting thread.

When i went R33 shopping i went to several Parra Rd dealers. Two in Granville, one had a decent and friendly sales rep, let me go for a test drive without fuss, and let me go when i had a thrash without any problems. Across from him another dealer wouldn't even start the car (which was a very sh!tty example of an R33) unless i paid a deposit.

He asked to do business, so we walked to his office and had discussed my finances, employment record, budget and what colour undies i was wearing.

I left without even driving the bomb. A week later i saw the exact same candy R33 (recognisable by the rims) with the owner standing beside it on the road and the hazards on. Sigh.

I remember seeing the exact same candy colour on an S15 at the yard...does the guy buy smashed imports and respray them himself? Anyway...

Went to another dealer in Burwood that i bought one off, he was full of crap too (every single dealer, bar the first one, lied and wanked on like i'm some idiot. One guy even said "the series 1 has more power than series 2 R33". I said, "Well, no, series 2 has more power mate". He went quiet.)

I saw past all his lying and gave the car a comb over, test drive, and went home and thought about it. I came back and signed for it, not regretting it since. But my lesson is not to be intimidated by some of these cons, to walk away (i did about 6 times) and hold your cards close.

Let the car speak for itself, not the lying bullsh!t artist who wants to get rid of his lemons.

Power to the ppl.

I remember the first dealer i went to look for my R34, it was on parra rd as well. He wouldn't let me test drive a car that i had looked at on the car website, unless i was willing to buy. In short he gave me his whole life story, story about the company blah blah blah.

The funny thing was, the car was stated as being a GT-T, but when i looked inside the interior, it did not have the centre guage cluster (i'm sure only turbo had the centre cluster and the non turbo had nothing).

The last thing i said to him was 'No test drive, i won't recommend and i won't come back'

haha oh yeah....

[R34 Sedan]

=D that's where I went too, great fellas.

Yep that's where I bought my R34 GT-T sedan (5 speed manual), which are quite rare in manual.

The car was absalutely immaculate (as most of their cars are), they put no pressure on me, and I got a very good price. I wouldn't say their expensive at all. I saw many other 2 doors on Parramatta Rd for much higher prices.

And what's more I went back about a month later and they gave me a straight swap of the factory wheels for a set of 17" enkei alloys. Can't ask for more than that!!!!

[DRIFTER]

pm me the dealer please.

As far as this signing contracts thing goes... recalling from legal studies in yr11; if they so much as mark the page and tell you to "sign here" - it legally voids the contract, as you are simply complying with a request or something

it may be wrong... if so, sue the nsw gov. for giving false information in schools system

[kevin2good]

Hi mate, I know exactly which dealership u r talking about! same thing happened to me, and i know the guy also! seems to be daddys dealership. I did get my "lazy hundred" back after a few months of calling 1-2 times a week. apparently his receptionish was sick for that period. I could contact him tho which was not soo bad.

[Fujiwara]

Can you PM me the dealer pls?

[scathing]

These guys are dodgy. They tried to get me to buy an r32 with scratches all over it saying 'but its original paint'.

"Well, considerin' the semi-classical nature of the vee-hickal with the slick wheels and the custom paint job....."

"Wait, the paint's faded!"

"Yeah, but its custom."

"Its custom faded?"

"Well its your first car, I wouldn't expect you to understand."

Somehow, I doubt that the R32 you were looking at would turn out to be a giant robot that turns itself into an R35 GT-R when the hot chick you've had a crush on says it looks like a piece of shit......
