Southern Special Vehicles

[interfooler]

Hi all, has anyone dealth with Southern Special Vehicles? They are importer for Nissan cars but they also do a small volume of other makes. Just want to get some feedback on them as you know some importers are dodgy. I am interested in a V35 they have there.

Appreciate all comments. Cheers

i heard they're good...

Good rep from what i hear.

Spoke to them when i was looking for my 34. Very friendly, non pushy, layed back attitude which is great for a dealer.

Some nice honest cars too

I think if you do a search, you will find some feedbacks of a few importers around Melbourne

There has been a fair few threads about it.

I looked at a Supra there before I got the 32, nice blokes, let me test drive etc, had a knock in th esteering apart from that it was good condition, they also get in 260RS Stags every now and then. I've heard no bad stories about them yet. They bring in a lot of JDM vans and evos

As Charles says, do a search, at least a couple of threads on this. Good wrap.

Thanks for the replies guys...

I found them to be quite trustworthy too. But they only take about 1k off their advertised price though. Did you guys manage to haggle much at all?

I got my car complianced there.

Can vouch for their friendliness and workmanship.

Seem like a great bunch there.

I got about $3K off $40K. They are a small family run business that select quality cars for importing. Based on that the savings they can pass on will be lower than somewhere bringing in cheap cars and marking them up. Depending on purchase price, $1K doesn't sound unreasonable on the surface.

Great to deal with... went there when we were looking for an Elgrand.

At the end of the day they are car salesmen though. They did try and advise my father in law, after we got our Elgrand from JSPec and he wanted one and went to see them, that we would never be able to register the one we got in VIC and especially not as an 8 seater... wrong.

I'm not so sure about a trade in.... They offered me 5k lower than what I actually sold my R33 for lol...

Bought my r33 from there good place overall, the cars they sell tend to be cleaner and better grade ones not lemons.

bought an R34 from there today (by the way hello all, new here)

spoke to Peter Evans who was the one selling us. they moved about 4-5 cars in order to allow us to test drive, reasonable guys and seem to be into customer satisfaction a fair bit. have heard a lot of good stuff about them and the cars they sell are in good nic.

Did you go to them to attempt a trade in with your old car?

I never thought of this option! haha

[SS8_Gohan]

UnCo, didn't your engine need a rebuild though?

a reputable import dealership? well i'll be.....

[UnCo]

What's the rebuild got to do with SSV doing my compliance?

I didn't even import through SSV and I have no issues with Prestige Motorsport either, I had a wonderful experience with both importer and compliance workshops.

The engine went on me while I was on track, nothing to do with them at all imo.

[SS8_Gohan]

ahh... track, i guess that kinda explains it.

didn't even mention geoff??

it's good to hear there's actually a reputable import yard around. the majority play their part in giving the import industry a bad name.

[UnCo]

Sorry, mentioned Geoff because he was my importer, and a very honest friendly one at that
