miiz_skyline Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 (edited) Ok, finally i get a little bit of time off work.. so im heading down to Sydney again to check out more cars. Ive been to parra rd before a few times looking, but i was wondering if anyone knows sum really good places in the area down there that i should go to- for a skyline of course. The last time i fell in love with one... it wasnt even road worthy- and the guy obviously saw me coming... and thought it would be and easy sale for him cos im a girl, i dunno. If anyone has some places in mind... that would be fantastic Even pm me if you like. cheers, - manda.

d00dz Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Japlink motors? Umm that place along parra road.. err cant remember, there are a few up there.... But I think most of them are quite expensive.. Have a look in the FS threads on SAU, carsales.com.au etc.. Make sure you take a friend to go see the car, one who knows about the car.

Tosh Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Japlink are one of the better ones on Parramatta Rd, Come and see us as well Tosh Powerplay Imports Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/88351-parramatta-rd/#findComment-1594670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennedy Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Japlink are the only people I would trust on Parra road. You can pretty much guarentee that all skylines in Homebush, AutoAlley etc etc have been wound back. Honestly..just get a broker like powerplay and be rest assured in the quality assurance program that they have to bring you in a decent car...or just NRMA inspect every car that gives you a hard on Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/88351-parramatta-rd/#findComment-1594686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
someonestolecc Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Please don't go to auto alley... went to checkout that place when buying my mates skyline... god damn there's some aweful cars there and noone cares about them. You're better off buying a car that's been loved ... Or if you change your mind from a skyline and want a cefiro PM me Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/88351-parramatta-rd/#findComment-1594976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIL.08S Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Or speak to Autostyle prestige and performance cars. The cars that go through there are generally only to the highest standards. I have never seen a car advertised or sold as something it wasnt. For a look at some of their stock try www.autostyle.com.au or PM me for the owners mobile number.

Beer Baron Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 my advice is to look at carpoint.com.au and looks at cars privately. yes it takes longer and can be more of a hassle, but you will have access to a higher standard of car in general and get a better price. also of course look in the for sale section on this forum.

But it was top notich, stock and just game into Australia. After the 1st 2 months I havent had any problems (touch wood) with it. It always pays to look around. Also are you prepared to pay the ORC's and the endless upgrades and petrol money that you will want to pay for? hehe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/88351-parramatta-rd/#findComment-1595413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwells Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 From personal experience I can confirm what others have stated: don't waste your time with the dealers on Parramatta Rd. The general quality of cars they have is poor. They basically don't give a shit until you sign on the dotted line: I even had one dealer say he wouldn't allow me or my father (a very respectable 50-something Professor) test drive a car until we agreed to purchase it. Japlink is definately the best on that strip, but they are also very weary of tyre kickers.

ECR033 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I'd also advise that you're better off looking privately...as others have said, carsales.com.au or tradingpost.com.au are good places to start. If you do want to buy from a dealer, then Northshore Prestige at Balgowlah is worth a try. I had a look at quite a few cars there and they were all of a very good quality. The guys there were also very helpful and knowledgeable about Skylines (and imports in general) and they also have a workshop on the premises as well which is good for any service or warranty work that may need to be done. I almost purchased a car from them, but was lucky enough to find the mint example I now drive in a private ad for a fair bit cheaper than the price the dealer was after for the car I was interested in. Don't waste your time on Parra Rd...unless of course, you want to pay top dollar for a lemon.

Tosh Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Manda, Come see us and we can custom import the exact car you want from Japan for you. We'll sit down and explain the whole process to you and show you some examples of cars in Japan for auction. Best thing about this is you get the car for cost price rather than the retail price we'd have to charge if we bought it in our name.
