Autoforce, good/bad experiences

[owned]

Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone here has had any bad/good experiences with Autoforce?? I know their kinda expensive but my friends all bought cars there and no problems since. Just feel free to give the honest truth cos im most likley going to get a car from there.

[knore]

Hmm there ok

I kinda know the owner kevin lee, been there a few times for specialised things

i dont know about buying a car there tho

they had some descent priced series 2 r33s there when i last went

i probably wouldnt buy anything other than that tho

definately dont buy ne 180 or silvia there

[owned]

yeh thanks knore, the series 2 was an auto by the way .

[qikr33]

my mate bought a very tidy 180 sx there but that was before it changed hands.There used to be a guy called chai that worked there and he was a cool dude but now not sure.I called them up to see if they had any 2nd hand r33 stoko rims for sale and i got told that they do and wont sell them in pairs but instead a whole set.I told her that a sale was a sale and she got the shits .So i dont know i dont think a particular yard has nothing but all shit i think you will recognise a good car if u see one but a general statement about all imports never judge a car by its km"s

So is mine... what are you saying

[owned]

so true qikr33, but the impression im getting from what some people are telling me is fairly negative. Like heaps of car yards are out there to rip u off. So confusing buying cars... :'(

*points @ self* Noob

nothing against autos...personal preferance is with manuals. so i wouldn't go and buy the one at autoforce. . Sorry if i offended

All car yards will rip you off if they can.

It's a known fact.

"Hit em once, hit em hard" is pretty common from what I hear

CYA34 got his car there no problems . They were more then helpfull.Even so still get an independant inspection done on it.

[Zoix]

from what i heard they changed the endless brakes to some stockos before he picked up his car.

And get a RACQ check before you get your car. Autoshop dont allow it for the obvisious reason of selling ****ed cars.

He knew they were going to do that they told him.

kev did mention about a few car yards (not mentioning which particular ones.) dont like getting their cars inspected by RACQ. He doesn't really mind it cos he knows he's selling legit cars, albeit a tad more expensive. Anyways thanks for the insight pplz. The time to buy grows closer . yayayayayayayayyayayaya

[Spook's_Skyline]

i wouldnt buy a car from any car yard that didnt allow inspections before buying

"Charge them like a wounded bull" is another.

A particular yard will not always have all "good" cars, or all "crap" cars. Every car is different, you can find absolute gems at dodgy crappy looking yards, and peices of poop at high end well presented yards. Mechanic inspection + a car feeling "right" on the test drive + warranty is the best you can do.

[CYA34]

I bought the 34 and I also purchased a Toyota Surf off Kevin and he was always professional and the whole experience was good. I still get everything checked out before I buy though.

He still had some dogs there that I wouldn't even look at.

You'd have to be crazy to buy without checking the car out throughly first .

It pays to shop around.

CYA34 >> I just spoke to Kevin and I might be buying a car from him. From the way he sounded on the phone ... she sounded quite legitimate. Can you tell me what your experience with him was like with buying the R34? (pm me if you dont want to say publically)

cheers mate

*edit* sorry for bringing up an old thread

Sold any EA falcoons for $8k at late?

I got my car (well actually my girlfriend originally did)

Its still one of the best I have seen mechanically and body and interior wise, it almost like new...but then again she did look around for 8 months nearly 2 years ago before imports really took off...

There are only a couple of places i would not go to, one is along the going past the Gabba and the other is in bowen hills, you know the places I am not here to name names...

actually no I dont *LOL* (I live in Sydney) :wassup:

pm me the names if you like. but I was more concerned about Autoforce, only because I might be buying a car from them soon, so I wanted to clarify their level of ... dodgy-ness
