Where is fabcar? Is that the dealership on Albany Hwy?

Yeah went to see the GTR at the Perth motorshow on Tuesday thinking I could have a seat in it, but no go there :)

The barrier also sucked meaning you couldnt really get up close.

went yesterday and wasmost dissapointed with Nissan.

spoke to one of their sales /stand staff and they said this one was an aus spec gtr so i asked why is there still only a 180 k dash in it :)

they refused to speak to me any more :cheers:

He probably thought you were crazy because none of them have 180km/h dashes. It's a Jap spec one and the speedo goes to 340km/h.

He was lying but that's life, the Nissan guys who are touring with this car are getting pissed off at everyone asking the same question but to everyone's defense they needs to stop lying and come out with some genuine details.

The silver is a nice colour at night but I like the other colours more. The silver also costs $3k more as an option. Probably $5k by the time we get it here.

I checked it out yesterday at the show. The car looked absolutely hot, so much better in real life than in pictures. But to be honest I was disappointed with the way they marketed it - I mean WA is the heart of the mining boom, with a lot of guys and girls young and old with oodles and oodles of spare cash. The GTR hasn't been on sale in Australia for years, so surely you'd think they'd be making a song and dance about in an attempt to net some new fans.

The marketing could be better. I feel that Nissan Australia marketing aren't geared up for something more than a Tiida type car and are struggling with this. It's nothing to do with WA it's Aus wide there is next to no marketing push.

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
