So.. I'm Getting A R34 Gtr, Need Few Help Pls.

[Edifier]

The car doesn't exist, he uses this as a marketing tool to lure people in to check out his shop.

That add has been on his website for at least a year.

Basically - buyer calls saying they are interested in this car, EL says, we just sold it, but i have others in the same condition and in stock now, come past the dealership and i'll show you...

exactly

[Edifier]

Maybe he could gives us all 50 bucks!

May be a drink in a bar~

Is bait and switch advertising legal?

Bait and switch advertising involves advertising a small number of goods at low prices to entice customers to your business. When the advertised goods quickly run out, customers are switched to higher-priced goods.

It is an offence to advertise goods for sale knowing that you will be unable to supply those goods for a reasonable period. You are responsible for ensuring that there are enough supplies available to cover a sale. You still may not be able to meet the demand during a sale but you should have at least planned for it and have reasonable stock or offers available. This is not just common sense, it’s the law.

What is reasonable will depend on the type of product, the context of any advertisement and your previous trading experience. The period of offer should also be made clear in the advertisement.

If an offer is available for a limited period then put this in the advertisement. If stocks are genuinely limited, such as a clearance sale, say so in the advertisement.

When you can’t meet the demand, you may offer to supply the advertised item to customers at a later date eg. a ‘raincheck’. This generally avoids customer dissatisfaction as well as indicating that the advertising was genuine. Alternatively, you can supply equivalent goods immediately and at the advertised price if the customer accepts.

I really hope this works out and that Edifier ends up with a clean car and his deposit back.

Would be an awesome outcome

And if Phil told me (as I'm looking for a car at EL) that Skylines Aust rubbishes him (as stated on his vids), I'd be intrigued all the more to see what SAU had to say; wouldn't you?

[Hadouken]

You know that we could boycott him. That is if no one had anything better to do on Saturday.

Just rally out the front on a weekend haha. He'd be pissed

[GTR-N1]

You mean "picket" standing on council footpath perhaps?

These people will continue to mislead until they are closed for good.

Just watched video, don't know why he changed rims, and the stereo in it is mine.. it's a sony one.. I bought it in JBHIFI..

[Ben C34]

What? Your stereo?!?!?

[Edifier]

What? Your stereo?!?!?

Yes.. it came from japan with no stereo in it.. I mean.. the Multimedia center thing.. under the air-con.

Today's update.

Another user in the forum offered me a car.

It's a MP3 VS1 from JDM Performance.

Here are some pics of it:

and here is the link if you are after more pictures:

It had done genuine 9X,XXX Km.

To be honest I am flattered by the passion from all you guys.

I am very glad that I've met you guys here and only regret I haven't met you earlier so I wouldn't end up with dodgy dealer like EL.

Hope it's never too late to join the party.

[GTR-N1]

Rare HKS2530s on her too!
Plus nice number plates on it!

Plus the owner even has 2 sets of RAYS Duralumin nuts (red n black) with exactly the same lock nut code. Fancy that for being picky!

[ezy_09s]

You are lucky to have been offered a couple of fine examples of R34's there...and hope all works out well in regards to the shyster EL.

Yes, I told him to either buy it from me or take it off, he said he will take them off and give it to me.

[Gts-t]

Jump caused the timing belt to jump teeth, yeah right....

All rays duraluminum wheel nuts have the same lock nut socket.

Those 34s you have been offered are very nice, what are they selling for?

Hope you get your deposit back, sorry those nobs from mcm took you for a ride. I have asked Japodocheck to do a check on my s15 just for interest sake.

.

When JLM inspected the engine it was the consensus amongst their mechanics that timing belt had jumped teeth due to an attempt to tow start it in 1st gear.
