Car Dealer - Parramatta Rd Warning

Recommended Posts

I sort of got presured into a sale, in that instant tho I knew it would be best to put conditions on the sale as when they started it they had to jump start it.. already meant it had been sitting a long time.

Drove like crap too.. you learn I got my cash back after I faxed them a copy of the report, they basically listed the car as crap.

fair trading instructed me I was in the wrong as in the conditions all I said was "pending inspection of vehicle" and they said the conditions had not been clear enough and in future I had to say something like "pending inspection of vehicle where the customer was happy with outcome of inspection, if not contract will be terminated and money refunded" so next time ill take a lawyer :S

PM of the dealer please :)

I've been to many importers on parra rd... mostly am not interested due to cars being in bad condition.... got one place in mind that might be this, but yes... PM please :)

Figjam, in the past businesses that have been named in a negative light have threatened to sue the forum's owner. regardless of whether threads like these are correct, factual etc etc or not we now do not allow the business to be named to make sure christian doesn't spend his life hiring lawyers.

feel free to post positive or negative experiences, just don't openly name the business if it was negative.

These guys are dodgy. They tried to get me to buy an r32 with scratches all over it saying 'but its original paint'. Had few minor dents too. He said he would get a sunroof and everthing i wanted installed if i put a deposit down. He had me there for about 45mins trying to sell me a car. I gave him unrealistic demands he was trying to meet but couldnt. I have to say, if he got me a r32 gtr for $14,000 ,i would have taken it. The place where i actually got my car from (on parra rd too) wasnt much better, but they had the car i wanted so i had to deal with the devil to get it. When they said its the cleanest you will find, they were right in this instance, lol.

Hey

i got my R33 from these guys and they are cool and there cars seem topshelf to me.

maybe abit pricey (they will bargin), but you only get what you pay for.

parra rd is dodgy at the best of times, for anything.

thats my 2 cents

I second what Rio had to say. We get what we paid for sometimes.

I also purchased my car from NSP and paid a little more but I'm still happy about the car.

Damn I do need new headlights....if you know anyone with a pair!

if you want to know the name of the place, PM the thread starter. if you want to try and subvert the rules by all means do it but you will end up with a temp ban again. d'oh.

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>.

Was he holding a gun to your head?

No one can pressure you into anything. It'll be ok, pumpkin. I'm here for you. Hugz?

Really?

I wouldn't.

It'll last a few weeks, maybe a month and u're in for a rebuild.

If you're going to buy a 32 gtr, spend the extra and get a rebuilt one to save yourself the pain/hassles. Otherwise you're just digging a hole and jumping head first into it. (im experienced at this).

    • Hi all,   I have bought a JDM R35 at auction in Japan.  This is my second JDM GTR after owning one back in 2009.  I have made a couple of videos that may interest some forum members.  One is collecting the GTR from the compliance shop (and seeing it for the first time) and another on the process of buying and importing a car from Japan.  I'm new to this and would appreciate your thoughts, as well as a subscribe!    
    • Sorry, AFM.    Will edit original post
    • Oh, yeah, no arguing that the duty cycle is different. And a circuit car will go to those speeds for more distance and longer times. But, I suspect that if a tailshaft has a harmonic problem, that it would cause damage and shit itself maybe even on the first pass. A second or two of running at the resonant/harmonic problem speed is already a couple hundred revolutions.
    • Shaft speed would be the same, however it's how long they hold it there for and repeated conditions. FWIW half way down the main straight at SMSP I'm bouncing off 4th with a 8600RPM limiter. That shaft would be spinning at 8600RPM for a few seconds before I need to smash the brakes, by T2 it's getting close to that speed again. Now a drag car/roll race car would see that shaft speed for a 1 to 2 secs then they would coast, hit the brakes and that's it.
    • With same diff ratio, tyre diameter and road speed, the tailshaft rpm is the same regardless of the gearbag's ratio. Given that very quick drag cars are probably doing similar road speeds to the fastest circuit cars (circa 300 km/h), and there will be many of either category that can't go that fast and so you'd have inummerable matchups between drag and circuit car speeds at smaller numbers, and given that they are probably using rather similar tyre diameters and probably using similar diff ratios, and...where any of those numbers were different they could quite easily be in opposite directions thus cancelling out.... I think you'd find that there'd be more similarity than difference in tailshaft speed between these two use cases, no?
