teknostorma Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) we all know that they have done dodgy kms. but i didnt want to buy a car with 200,000kms on it...... took it to fair trading and getting a refund. Timing belt was changed at 104,000 and was due again. (NEEDS REPLACING) the person i bought the car off is now trying to unload it again without claiming its km amount. power steering made funny noises, Coil packs are shot. spark plugs need changing, hicas light occasionally came on, engine light comes on. syncro in 4th gear is shot. black paint looks good wet, on futher inspection its not. dodgy battery (wasnt leaving my yellow top in) horn doesnt want to work ever, (hard for rego) put the old starter motor back in (yuk) rust bubble on the roof. plus some other occasion troubles http://cgi.ebay.com.au/2000-Nissan-Stagea-...=item335ed98d8a car can be seen there..... for sale again, massive amounts of problems with the car and i would say that people beware if you are looking at it. Also as a seller. She was not helpful in sorting out these troubles at all, did not want to have a bar of it actually. didnt show up for meetings, takes ages to reply to emails. I would warn anyone that is buying a car off these people (name removed by moderators) to take caution.

3PointJ Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I feel for you man. After all the shit I went through trying to buy an M35, I don't know if I would do it again hey. All the dealers lying to you, mislabelling shit, don't know what's legit and not (except a quality dealer like Northshore) Well I was very unhappy with the whole scenario at the place in question... If you aren't an expert with cars, and are naive, you can get trapped easy. I just had a bad gut feeling when I went there. I get sick thinking about if I bought from them...f**k Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/328429-my-stagea-troubles/#findComment-5344012 Share on other sites More sharing options...

66yostagea Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 When I bought my Stag in 2006, I bought thru an import agent. Cost a grand for that. The car was perfect when I got it. Of course you have to have the cash to buy this way. At that time I think most of us bought that way, and I think most of us were satisfied. The trend seems to have changed, correct me if I am wrong. It seems a lot of people are buying through Dealers and getting ripped off a darn sight more than in the Import Days. I guess its hard to want a Stag but have to wait three months to get it. The dealers realise this, thats why they have hopped on the band-wagon.

I really feel sorry for you dude. After all the dramas I went through visiting heaps of dealers, I was so close just going "f**k it, I'll buy it." Glad I didn't.

Punk72 Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 so are these cars getting dodged up over sea or hear in Australia or a bit of both, After having mine for a couple of years I am finding things to suggest that the km aren't the original km eg cam belt and my instrument cluster is actually out of a auto not a manual one??? Luckily everything is in good working order. And I got mine from a well known importer!!!
