I went there to have a look before I got my 33. Gotta say I was not impressed.

They tried all the old tricks of "a special deal just for today". Trying to convince me to spend an extra 20 grand to get a GTR instead of a GTS-T etc etc. After I told them I wanted to talk to a few people they tried to convince me it would be cool to buy a car that day and not tell anyone, then surprise them when I rock up with a new car. Oh yeh after I told them that the car they had was not the right colour they said they had one that was the right colour in their workshop. I could go with them to have a look but I had to pay a deposit first.

If they treated everybody like this I'm not surprised they went under.

geez, why run your own business if ya cant make money. i dont know if they do any dodgy work and its different if they do but they can charge what they like and its up to you if you buy or not, i wouldnt like to pay their rent or morgage for a high profile spot on one of the busiest roads in adelaide.

Heh i remember when I looked for a car, one dood in a caryard who shall remain nameless started up an R32. We immediately jumped in, and then he proceeded to wring the daylights outta the poor engine right outta the driveway, and the thing had only been on for about 15 seconds before WOT. Good stuff for engine wear... That was enough to convince me to stay away from that car!

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
