better off going privately, dealer will charge a fair bit.

[gts25t4door]

Most decent import dealers offer a warranty, turn up with cash and you will find that they will drop the price. Try AJM Motorsport on Main St, Kangaroo Point, they are gave me a good deal.

Cheers

a website for some of the places?

[Spook's_Skyline]

search this forum

this has been covered a gazillion times

[nugget666]

i did a quick search but could only come up with workshgops no dealers

[chaos]

probably best just going in there.

Yeah I bought my Stagea through AJM and they have a good selection of cars there.

But if you are going to come down to look, there are about 4 dealers in Slacks Creek area and about 4 or 5 dealers scattered along Logan Road, on the southside, (these are just guesses).

Whichever dealer you do go through, be prepared to pay more than a private car, but expect a warrantee.

Know what type of car, in what state and your price range and stick to it, and try to push dealers as far as they can go on the price.

Good Luck!

Try to avoid Street Machines. I've just heard too many bad stories for them all to be false.

Rite Price Imports isn't 'too bad' for a Sunny Coast import yard.

Rite Price are actually one of my clients, but I wouldn't buy from Richard... more like the Wrong Price.

I headed down to Springwood to get mine - ended up over at Motorman Imports where Derek did me a pretty good deal and went out of his way to find exactly what I was after. Looking back, I probably could have got mine a little cheaper, but I was young and dumb and rushed into it a bit...

[Spook's_Skyline]

well, i bought my car from street machines and they were awesome

i paid more than other examples i looked at, coz it was a nicer car

got an inspection done, street machines were quite happy to fix all the (minor) problems found with the car

had it over 3 years and it hasnt missed a beat

id have no dramas recommending others to buy a car there

[nugget666]

rite price has turbos and i dont think i could afford insurance on a turbo

[wessa02]

I would have to say stay away from rite price cause they are way to over priced but they do have some nice cars. I went to get mine from there and they didnt get bak to me so I kept goin bak pushin and pushin with the $$$ ready to go and they wouldnt come down 2k with a trade.

Go to Auto import centre in springwood, they were excellent, always kept me in the loop nothin was to much trouble, my only complaint is that mine wasnt complianced at the time and it took a month to actually have the keys in my hand rather then the promised 2 weeks, but it wasnt their fault it was the compliance people. They were very neg on their prices and they fixed paint damages got parts fixed etc at my request. they even gave me a good price for my trade and also gave me two movie tickets (doesnt sound like much but it all adds up).

AJM is also good and have a reasonable range but if ur tradin make sure the car is spotless cause they pick it to pieces and give u nuthin for it, but they have some really nice cars and they do track you down something if they dont have what you want, but be prepared to pay a little extra.

I have a mate that knows a guy based in forest glenn on da coast who imports car and sells them off (apperantly a hobby) anyway my mate got a soarer from him for dirt cheap not mad nick either. PM me if you would like me to look into this guy I personally never saw his cars but I heard he does good prices

AJM fcuked us over hardcore. They lied to us right from word go & I am NOT afraid to say it.

The guys at Street Machines are a little up themselves and they are FAR too overpriced.

Auto Shop at Moorooka is aiit. They are fairly helpful.

In all seriousness though, it's just easier with an importer. I mean, you can't walk in and walk out with a car that same day, but you get WHAT you want for the pice you want to pay. We went through SVi. <------- Check it out, FREE BUSINESS PLUG! SVi

Yeah, Autoshop is pretty good and they would get u a pretty decent car.

Also, im currently buying a car from japan through SVi the guys there r very helpful as well. havent had any dramas so far.

About AJM, bought a car off them b4 as well and did NOT have any problems for the whole year till i sold it. a bit over-priced as usual so i lost some money on it. but at least it had no dramas.
