Who To Buy From Nsw

[tallguy]

Hi Guys,

New to this forum but might become a regular in a couple of weeks as i am trying to find the stagea with my name on it.

I have been looking around at some private and some dealer cars and as i am no tech i will need to fork out the cash to have the car looked after i was wondering the best way to go.

i hear e & m unique motors has there own warranty and service center but has anyone used these guys? or is there a mech elsewhere in Sydney i should look at using etc etc.

I live in the inner west so somewhere close by for servicing would be grand.

Thanks all in advance

TG

PS sorry if there is in another topic i tried to search but could not find anything

If you are looking for an M35, talk to Ben @ Northshore Prestige.

I bought mine from him in April '07 and he and Tony are still more than happy to answer any questions

hey tallguy goodluck car hunting, if your after a s1 or s2 and your planning on modifying ( like most of us) you might be better off buying private as there is quite a few tastfully modded stageas on the market now, to purchase a stock stagea ($12000 -$16000) and then modify it could end up costing you $20000 + and thats just the basics wheels, suspension, exhaust fmic etc , you could possibly find one locally with all those goodies for say around $16000 thats been well looked after and as for warrantys you have to read the fine print there as a lot of them only cover so much and your up for the rest and by the way motovation are on the goldcoast, they have just moved from burleigh heads to ashmore and have changed there name to people movers.

goodluck leigh.

thanks guys,

yeh looking for an S1 or 2 don't like the new shape. Looking into the warranties they don't cover much at all, but why doesn't that surprise me...

I guess i will just keep looking, private and shop i am extremely fussy when it comes to my cars so i won't be rushing into anything. Test drove about 5 now love the way they drive just little things i noticed on each that i just didn't like. I am sure one will come my way that i have to have.

I will let you all know when one is in my driveway....

Hey champ why wouldnt you post up here and help any one els who could possibly be in the same boat? I tought this was a comunity that helped each other out? surely you cant be edited, blocked or warned or what ever if you make a post about a company with dodgy morals and provide supporting evidence, even if it is only word of mouth.

Well SAU can get sued for defamation and all that stuff, I've seen peoples posts be edited because of that before. So wasn't too keen on posting it up. Just needless to say I bought my car from a well known import yard in manly,and wasn't at all happy with how the car was sold to me, problems started on the drive home to canberra, and the first rego inspection,

Needless to say the car is ok at the moment, but I spent 1500$ fixing the car up in the first month of ownership, with an allegedly "roadworthy car" Car was regoed on the day of sale. Pink slipped by the dealers shop lol.

Fair call, sorry mate didn't mean to be rude. but i think its better if you post up stuff like this then say nothing at all.

Cheers for that and im sure U'll get alot more PM's in regards to any one buying an import from a dealership in manly.

"F@#% em" i say coz they'll do it to you any chance they get.

I'm with CeJay as far as posting negative stuff about companies goes. Negative comments (true or not) posted about any business can result in the business taking legal action and besides, I'm pretty sure its against this forum's policies anyway. Several users have been banned for not adhering to warnings given etc...

Safest way is to just send PM's.

i would definitely have a good look at private cars from some of the longer term SAU members.

most of us spend $$'s lovingly modifying things and we NEVER get our money back but knowing it has gone to another enthusiast decreases the pain of selling.

keep in mind, standard turbos have a lifespan, timing belts every 100,000km (and you often don't know precisely how honest the odometer is on your car ex-japan).

so allow a little cash to cover a few expenses in the first 12 months and you are sweet.

our S2 stagea needed a new clutch and new coil packs from the get go (once we started modifying) but my R33 GTS-t ran on the standard clutch and coils for over 7 yrs.

i would be reticent to use a dealer with their required commercial mark up plus the warranties offered are pretty weak.

I got mine imported thru Prestiege in WA. It was complied on the GC by Iamshe, no relation to Iamhe,lol,

Both were EXCELLENT. My 96 S1 has only needed a tierod end. It had 96 on the clock when it arrived.

Next Stag I get will be bought the same way.

I guess its a matter of luck, or clean living, that deals you the best or worst.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all your help (here and the PM's) with looking for my stag. But due to investments not quiet going the way it was intended to i am now not in the position to get a stag... it is amazing what can happen in the space of 2 weeks.... hopefully this situation can right its self soon and i come back here to show of an Autech beast...

I will be keeping any eye on here for all your constant tips and tricks...

THANKS
