The Wasteland - ACT Style

How long did they say it would take in the beginning?

Get some flamin mongrel about you Dan

Ring JLM, tell you you want an answer by the end of the day or you aren't paying the full amount, then when you get an answer tell them that if it takes longer than that you won't pay at all.

This^^

And even then i would not be paying the full amount. The time frame you have been waiting for this will be longer than it takes to build my house!

Can have a workshop swap it to a manual for less of the price of the import AND could have it back next week.

I come across as a little kid on the phone.

Just emailed JLM asking wtf is going on and also sent Kristian (ironchef) a PM on here asking what the hell is happening

One of you can call for me if you like

[zebra]

Don't email. Call them its too easy to ignore or be blaze' with emails

[Anfanee]

Honestly i'd be saying if i have not got my car by next week i'll be taking legal action.

Even though DOTAR are the people holding it up (apparently), it's up to both Christian and JLM to get your car to you (after all that's who you are paying). They should be fighting the battle on your behalf, and i don't care what excuse they use the time frame has been WAY out if they have been "trying". For people with a good word on SAU they have f**ked you over royally.

Seriously. Call JLM and say you want a 100% answer this week. And you wan't your car next week. And if you don't have it next week say you want a discount for EVERY day it takes longer than that. If they say they can't give you that. Demand all your moneys back and buy Richards 34 and convert it. Seriously it'l take less time!

Also ill give you an example:

When my car took some damage to the front passenger side it took me 4 months of getting passed around by the government getting nowhere. I cracked the shits hard. Called my Auntie (who is a lawyer).

Got a response in 15 minutes apologizing, and asking me to go get quotes to fix the damage. Sometimes these places need a good kick up the ass.

Note to self: Importing takes longer than building a fking house.

Just be firm and confident on the phone. Know what you want before you call, dates, why this, why that, extremely late deadlines and promises, no one accepting fault. Get some answers, show your presents!

Also- see if you can speak with a manager or supervisor before you say anything.

Also Dan,

Doesn't matter what you sound like. You are a paying customer and you have rights. Put your foot down and call them. If you don't want to get a parent/Close relative to do it. It's amazing how much impact it can have when you bring someone else into the mix.

[Manuel Kasko]

I'll see what chef's response is first and if it's another "DOTARS delays nothing we can do"
Then I will call JLM and find out what the f**k is happening

[Anfanee]

There is ALWAYS something that can be done.

Like buying a certain silver 34 that is in immaculate condition

[Got a Pulsar]

Crazy. I'd be Spittin' Chips if I were you Daniel.

but I'm also a Grumpy old man now days.

[Shell]

That sucks Dan - I had a seamless experience when importing my old R33, in fact the importer would ring me all the time with updates and wonder why I wasn't harassing him more! lol

It will all be worth it

[Got a Pulsar]

Just like childbirth... Painful but rewarding. LOL!

any minute now...

[Shell]

GIVE ME ALL THE DRUGS!!!!!! <--- me.... soon....

[Manuel Kasko]

Just got off a lengthy call to Iron Chef and it's currently all bad news with no time frames.

It seems DOTARS has decided to audit the shop and select my car personally for an audit.

[Manuel Kasko]

GIVE ME ALL THE DRUGS!!!!!! <--- me.... soon....

Can you hurry up please so we can see photos of this gorgeous baby.

[Tats]

Understand frustration around extended timeframes in compliance but i'd take a moment before rushing into demanding phone calls. Pretty sure they won't give you the car until the bill is paid, and a rational conversation will get you a lot further than a Jordan Belfort effort.

GIVE ME ALL THE DRUGS!!!!!! <--- me.... soon....

LOL! Just hope it's not too late... My Son came on strong and his Mum missed out on the epidural (Spelling?) so it was all natural and real.

Speaking of which... Managed to get in contact, Just confirmed and booked flights, My Boy is coming up from Melbourne for Easter!

It's gonna be great.
