Power Road Car Sales (car Dealers)


Recommended Posts

Has anyone recently or ever purchased a car from Power Road Car Sales in Dandenong? I'm looking to purchase a Nissan Skyline R34 GT semi-auto -.-(non turbo) from them and they're selling it for $14,990 "Drive Away No More to Pay"

Would appreciate it if any previous purchasers with these guys discussed their experience with them please! :cool:

That's the car there - I know its auto and non turbo which is panzy and weak but it'll be for my P-Plates so please no criticism on it I know myself :ninja:

Any suggestions of how to bargain them to $13 - $13.5k ?

Pay by cash, the fact that its non turbo, anything else guys? Help appreciated!

Just be honest, say you love the car, have the cash ready, but you can't afford anymore than $13k. They'll either drop the price and sell it, or they won't be able to drop the price and you walk away.

They are a business after all, it's not some private sale where the owner is desperate to sell, these guys need to turn a profit.

Hey mate, I recently got a car from Power Road Car Sales. They're pretty legit, didn't hassle me over the sale and were pretty laid back.

Because that car has the "full Nismo Aero Body with side skirts front Lip spoiler" they'll be reluctant to reduce the price (I had the same deal with mine I got from there) and it has rims which they'll also not be willing to reduce the price on very much. And I also hope you know that photo is photoshopped (same thing with mine).

But overall these guys were really good to deal with, much better than any other dealers I've gone to. I've only had my R34 for 3 weeks now but so far so problems what so ever. There are some other threads on here talking about these guys (all seem pretty positive).

To be honest, I don't seem them going down to 13-13.5k very easily if at all (that ad has only been up a couple weeks) you might have to wait for a bit before they're willing to go down that low.

But thats a very nice 34 so definitely check it out, it'll be one of the nicest auto n/a 34's out there. I ended up spending a little more than I wanted to on my skyline, but you gotta think to yourself, do you rather buy an average skyline and/or a skyline you don't like as much thats in your price range or spend a little more and get what you really want?

Goodluck!

Got my 33 from them about 4 months ago. Done about 13,000 kms in it now and no problems. They were good with the buying/inspection process, ie. they let me spend as much time going over the car as i wanted, drove it 3 times (same day), sat down and negotiated $500 off the price, and when I serviced it the first time, all the driveline oils, fluids, plugs, fuel filter, coolant etc. had either been recently changed or were brand new as he said they serviced it for me before I took it, so was happy paying a bit more for it for what I got. Would recommend. :)

Bought my baby from them 1yr 3mths ago. Did try to bargain them down but only took about $500 off the asking price. Then they gave me a sony head unit (installed), rego, & belts were just replaced as well. Suffice it to say, I was happy with my purchase. :)

I got my 34 off them about a year ago, done about 25k kms since then and its been perfect, i dealt with Jeff and he was a champ. All of their cars were so clean inside and out. I suck at bargaining so i just bought it :)

Jeff is the man do talk to there!

Bought my R34 GT (White one, exactly the same as that, just no body kit and diferent rims) when i was still on my L's about 1year ago! Never missed a beat! And they dropped the price down a bit too...

But there is only one thing I have to say, if you cant afford the insurance nor maintenance, you cant afford the car... Remember for a P plater if youre doing it legit in your name, it will cost you 1/2g full comp easy!

Oh and if you want insurance to cover theft, you gotta spend another bit of cash gettin A/S imobilizers in at least.

And also check tyres and stuff (obvious defectable items), cos p plates and skylines will get cops on to you straight away at the start when they dont know you (Personal expirience) and they will try and defect you for anything even when you cruisin home mid trafic on your own minding your own business...

Not trying to put you off, just putting it out there so it gives you more motivation to bargin people! =P

I bargained them down $2000 on a $18k Supra and got new rims put on. They're pretty reasonable...

How on earth did you manage to get $2000 off?! Any tips dude? I really wanna' try get this as cheap as possible

I know another guy who bought an R33 off them a few years back and he got $2k off the price as well so yeeah

BTW Lovely input guys really appreciate it thanks!

More suggestions & ideas are absolutely welcome

I think it would depend on how long the car has been sitting there for (a car just sitting the in car lot is loosing its value = loosing them money). They're most likely not going to budge on the price of the car much if it's only been in for a week opposed to it being there for a few months. Also noting defects with the car e.g. dints, scratches w/e would help and maybe saying you don't want some of the options may help reduce the price also.

I delt with Jeff and he was great and mine also had new belts and fuilds etcetc

Go check it out, if its a little too pricey have a look around. They have some other nice R34s for 12kish

lol, he prolly got 2k off the price because the supra was overpriced in the first place.

if its 14.9k "drive away" and you cant get 1.5-2.k off then they will be laughing at you, its a buyers market for imports they have it at that price but wont be expecting to get it play hard 13k thats it take it or leave it and make sure you walk away they'll come back to you, they always do..

i'm gonna be offering 10k less on a car im looking at right now

1. do not buy a non turbo skyline. I understand, but this dude is on his p's, and it might be at least a year or two before he gets off his p's.

2. do not buy an auto skyline. Why?

3. do not pay remotely close to 13k for one. Agreed

4. look on carsales, its cheaper. I think this is from carsales.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
