Not Happy...

[Jenkk]

SOOOOOO i went up to Windsor gardens to see my R34 at the compliance shop for the first time ever....

ON the way i was driving my supra - cop pulls me over - defects me for bald rears (not THAT bad)

but he goes "i wont send you to regency, but get them fixed" so i guess that was good....

so having a bad day already...

THEN i rock up to see my car and notice its actually a DIFFERENT r34....they (japs) put the wrong car on the boat....

FRIGIN HELL.... not happy......

so defect + wrong import....awesome....

That was my biggest fear when importing mine over. Something getting mixed up, but then I had the thought maybe they might send me a GTR instead.. But they didn't .

Anyways thats badluck man, hope all is being done to fix the problem!

[Jenkk]

I might know someone who would be interested in that supra of yours, do you have a link to a proper add for it??

[funkymonkey]

wtf... didn't you notice the vin number was different when you signed the paperwork?

[Lock_to_lock]

[mid life crisis]

[ISC-Performance]

Yeah man its on carsales - do a search for supra in SA under 5 gees

the link i post NEVER works... soz man

wtf... didn't you notice the vin number was different when you signed the paperwork?

there was no VIN number on the add for the car... so the import cerftificate does match the car

so whats going to happen now? Has the thrashed out 34 become yours?

not much i can do....its f^&kin shit...

Where's Kristian when you need him!!

Kristian from Iron Chef imports?

hes my importer, been talking to him and there is not much he can do...

[heslo]

Well that sucks ass!

[typevu]

How the hell could the wrong car be put on the boat? Someone f**ked up along the line and should be paying to get things right!

[Iron Chef]

Yes it does suck arse.

What it basically boils down to was that we were stooged by the agent in Japan (this car was the first I'd bought from them), who for obvious reasons, will never get business from me again.

We checked and double checked chassis numbers and were told yes this chassis number matches this car, we asked them to send photos through of the exact car Jenkk was actually buying and were again sent photos of the original car in the ad, not the one we actually ended up receiving.

Of course, once the car's here, there's sweet FA that can be done because it's easier to remove your own spleen than it is to take someone to court in Japan. Sometimes I wish I had friends in low places in Japan - maybe they could start removing the agent's spleen for me...

I'll be sticking to just purchasing cars from the one or two agents I've known and trusted for years from here on in, the rest of them can get stuffed.

That's terrible Kristian, seems the scumbags knew exactly what they were doing too! Is the rust bad? Will it affect compliance at all?

Thankfully fairly minor, but it needs to be done for compliance to be squared away and Regency to be happy. I haven't been down there to see the car in the metal yet, but the workshop seemed to think it wasn't actually a bad car, just needs more of a tidy up than we were expecting, which of course means money and time.

[craig R33]

who pays for that? the customer or you?
