Car Dealer - Parramatta Rd Warning

[MRDeanos.]

this sounds all to familiar..

i bought my 32 gtst from a dealer in Haberfield on parra rd. The felt great and drove nicely i couldnt spot anything wrong with it. The Car was ment to come with a pod filter as there was one in there when i bought it. but when i came to pick it up they put the stock box back in, now i know its just a pod filter but that took 3 months for them to get one. i asked for one of another car or something its just a pod but no.. it took 3 months of calling goin in there on the way back from work to get them to give me a check for $99, not only to metion that some douche bag put silicone in the brake fuse to hold it in and melted away the plastic bracket and left me with no brakes lights for a week and a half and another thing while im on my rant the back left bush is f**ked and i wasnt infromed about this untill i got 3 ppl in the car and hit it around a corner to hear this disgusting sound..

if i was told about the problems i probly still would of bought it. its just the fact that the c**t was being shifty and i dont like being played.

lesson learnt and priv sales for me.

Buying a used car is a lottery whether you get it from a dealership or privately owned..

At least the dealership has to compete with the guy down the road and that's where you can get a better deal. The most important thing is to remain cold about it because if you like a car that you see for sale "too much", you tend to justify whatever might be wrong with it. Get it tested.. if you know a mechanic, have him/her take a look at it first.. call the NRMA... whatever you do, make sure the car is not going to fall apart the moment you drive off. In any case, any dealership, ANYWHERE has AT LEAST $2.5K mark up on their cars.. so whatever you see on the window... minus 2.5k should ALWAYS be your first offer.. then work from there.

True fact.

Well, I guess I was lucky with mine being an Ex SAU presidents car I bought as a private sale

actually - all my cars have been private sales which I have bought from and no dramas with any mech work or anything. I guess Ive just been lucky?
