I looked at the videos just before they went off. Someone made comments about how this car had fake papers, clock wound back and that they have all the photos to prove it. An hour later and the video was gone.

haha maybe he is starting to realise he wont get away with what he is doing so easily anymore!

Hahahaha, that was me writing that on Youtube, I got so mad reading another thread about it.

I really want to spend the next 12 months tearing this EL bloke to the ground, he is one hell of a slime bag.

This was such a good read and the outcome was great, well done Edifier, I'm so happy it worked out for you and you stuck to your guns in the end, it is a great learning experience IMO, sadly many others will learnt he hard way.

Michael, your gesture was truly remarkable, if I lived in NSW and not WA at the moment I would have really liked to do the same thing.

Enjoy your R34 GTR which ever you choose Edifier, good people deserve good things.

This thread is a prime example as to why I think this is the most knowledgeable car forum in Oz and possibly the world, great show of wisdom and kindness

All the best with your endeavours Edifier, look forward to living vicariously through your future GTR experiences - feel free to post up any prospect cars to find outside SAU, everyone is more than happy to lend you a second set of eyes

Damn... i just read this thread - didnt know you had to go through SO MUCH drama...

But have to say - your current GTRVS2... Now that is a beauty!!!

Even I'm surprised by myself how much drama I've been through with GTRs, I had my R33 GTST for 5 years and it had never caused me any problem, guess the better the thing is harder to get.

BTW my GTRVS2 is almost recover and I just picked it up from JLM, only front bumper is left to be fixed. JLM had done a pefect job so far.

FYI I didn't go though insurance so that my car could maintain it's current insured value which is $70,000, if I report the damage and lodged a claim not only I need to pay for excess fee and increased preime fee and also the value of the car may drop.

Holly crap Jun, what a damn hassle for you. Happy to hear it all worked out. I really wish that business got what it deserves, shonky as.

I totally agree with the above comments, this forum also saved me from buying through another, let's say, a less then honourable place. There is a lot of them out there when it comes to grey imports. If able to its always best to go through a broker service, another +1 for Iron Chef Imports. However it seems you have some great examples already offered to you, I reckon you can trust Terry... Just maybe ;)

Actually perhaps that's an ill timed joke, yes you can trust Terry and co :)

I also can not wait to find out what you end up with. Please post pics when you do get your baby/beast.

All the best.

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
