SVi - Special Vehicle imports anyone used them

[Zagan]

Has anyone gone through SVi up in brisbane, to get a car?

were they good etc?

[Parag0n]

I was going to buy a R32 GTR off them, but they stopped responding to my emails after a week or so which was weird... So I went with Geoff from Prestige Motorsport instead, couldn't of been happier, great bloke.

do u mean ivs? import vehicle solutions??

[Parag0n]

No, he means SVi, http://www.svi.com.au/

Yeah IVS and SVI are two different companies. One has a pretty poor reputation and the other i havent heard any bad stories about....

[Gts-t]

i imported my 32 back at the end of 99 and was appauled with the compliance job. cheap and tacky crackheads could have done a better job.... car was fine though...

on a brighter note, geoff from presige is a top bloke/businessman and importantly a genuine enthusist. when my 32 was written off i loooked at importing an r34, geoff put me on the mailling list for 34's for free for a week so i could see what was actually available to me. he was very reasonable and honest on price. and the good news is with hiim you get what you pay for... no margin needs to be made selling some fool a dodge car for more than its worth...

oh well i dont offer much but thats my 0.02 cents work.

cheers all.. happy importing

Got my R33 4 door from SVI (full stock)...pretty happy with service, though they use stuff like mineral oil and undersized cats for compliance - but most of yous would have gone over it soon after buying it anyway (new oil, new exhaust, etc)...so I'd rather save a couple of grand on things I'm going to redo.

Got my car through SVI - found them quite good.

After I took delivery of the car, I found both guards rubbed on rough roads (which probably never showed up on Jap roads). Mick Martin (proprietor) had the guards professionally rolled for me - didn't have to do that as he is only an importer for the car I decide on.

I found them friendly and efficient.
