102 on the clock and you payed 17.5? i got mine for 20 and got 55 on the clock, i mean cant garuntee it but thats alot of kms. Id be kicking their ass if mine was like that

[Nozila]

dont be fooled by km's just cause its low milege doesnt necessary mean it runs better or isnt thrashed then an equivilent model that has triple its km's.

hey boosted22 did you get an answer from the car yard?

if they dont want to play ball i suggest give Consumer Affairs a call, i had some hassles with my insurance paying me out for damage to my wheel when i had my accident, tried tellin me the damage was there before, i said sort it out or im callin Consumer Affairs, got a cheque in the mail the following week. in other words if you let them shaft you they will, dont let them play you for a fool. you pay good money for a car so you want to get what you paid for!

[boosted22]

yer its crazy, very p#$$%@ about it, went to the car yard this morning, had a big arguement, first thing he offered me was 1000 bucks to just leave it like that, no ones gonna know he said as long as u can live with it, i said your an idiot its not legal, then hes like yer we can fix the problem all we need to do is change the front rotors to vented ones, i said what about the blody calipers, there on 2 piston not 4, oh yer i guess we can fix that will just need to do the front because the back doesnt need to be vented disc, but i tried to explain about studd patteren, was just getting no were, then i asked him about the wheels i brought, oh nah we cant give your money back for that wasnt our falt u brought them, i said what wheels are you gonna put on it whens its 5 studd, he said nah i would have to do that as well, i just said f@#$ u and walked off, came back to me nannas house and rang consumer affairs, but they were no help, i should of ask them when i brought the car if it was all genuine or not, what a load of shit, hows gonna think a 96 skyline straight from the imports would not be a genuine one, she said theres nothing i can do, i should of check first, all there liable is to fix the brakes, she said the wheels are me problem because they werent to know. its crap.

[Silver bullet]

What a pain in the ass.

Good luck sorting it out.

I knew that this might have been the case I hope things turn for the better.....sooner rather than later

There's usually a cooling off period for purchases. How long since you bought it? I'd assume something as expensive as a car would be at least 2 weeks. Also, you shouldn't have had to ask "is it genuine", because they were selling it as a GTS-T, not a GTS-with-turbo-bolted-on. If they said it was a GTR and it was RWD only, it would be the same thing. Call consumer affairs and ask them what the cool-off period is.

You should be entitled to a full refund, as they 100% ripped you off. If you really can't get a refund, take it to regency and tell them it's a factory non-turbo with a turbo attached to it. Then they will defect the living shit out of it, and then you can force them to fix it, as they sold you an unroadworthy vehicle. Call the vehicle modifcations section of transport SA and (DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR NAME lol) ask them about the 5-stud, diff, etc. Then, write everything down, or even better, get them to fax you a fact sheet, and go down to the car yard and tell them, if you don't give me a refund now, I will go to regency. Show them the fact sheet and what is allowed and not allowed. If they offer to remove the turbo, ask for a refund again, or a swap for an actual GTS-T. Do not yell at them, or raise your voice at all, just give them the facts. Try to get a small tape recorder and record the conversation, and also tell them that you are recording them. This should scare three colours of shit out of them and allow you a bit more leverage.

If it gets to the regency stage, then make sure to tell them what you think is wrong with it, and the differences between GTS and GTS-T, diff, gearbox, engine, etc. If they just say, take the turbo off and it will be legal, then you can go back to the car yard and say, you sold me a car that's supposed to be turbo, which legally can't be. Either modify it to be legally turbo or give me a refund, and then call Consumer Affairs again. Or, a Current Affair. If you give them enough shit they will cave in, I guarantee it.

Do not accept a partial refund, tell them that next time they will learn to be more careful with what they're selling. And also, for a laugh, tell them that, when they have the car back, "they can live with it and not know the difference".

The wheels.. well you may get a store credit, and most business are understanding about stuff like that. Unfortunately,though, you will probably wear that one. At least in future you'll know

Haha, sorry to rant so much, but nothing pisses me off more than car based businesses that think they can just rip people off because no one knows the difference. They would definitely have known about it, and when you got defected for driving a turbo'd non-turbo car, they would be laughing all the way to the bank.

thanks mate, yer nothing makes sense to me, when i rang regency, the bloke said everything is ok to them, and the car yard showed me a report from them with everything being ok, i even rang the rego place asked them if the car is regersted as a turbo and she said it doesnt matter to them its not gonna show up on there computers ? , they didnt even pick up on the brakes, but they said if it does have the origianal brakes from the non turbo then it isnt legal, and all the lady from consumers said is, there only to fix the problem of not being road worthy, yer the missus said something about the cooling of period but shes not 100% on what goes on there, im pissed about the whole deal, they have ripped me and got away with it really, but theres no profe of them advertising it as a gts-t, they could simple make up a new advert like they had in the window when selling it, just would like to get a word out to guys not to buy from them, there a$$ holes,

if i didnt like the car so much i would go nuts about the whole deal but i dont think i will get any were, had the car two weeks exactly friday.

[doommachine]

Yes, the cooling off period is your friend.. find out tomorrow what it is, make sure you do it, and then call the place and tell them, I am bringing the car back, within the cooling off period, and I want a refund. I hope you didnt toss the wheels that were on it. The lady at consumer affairs is kind of wrong, because they mis-represented the car. Oh.. if they've advertised the car at all, find the ad and see what it says.. if it says "Skyline GTS-T", then they are kind of buggered, as it certainly ISN'T a GTS-T. But, make sure to hurry if it's within the cooling off period, as they will DEFINITELY know about it and DEFINITELY try to stall you as long as possible to avoid giving you a refund.

You are ENTITLED TO IT.

Dude, I work in retail, and we have taken returns on stuff because the people didn't LIKE IT, let alone we misrepresented it. If we misrepresent something the shit REALLY hits the fan.

You are a customer also, so if you complain to consumer affairs, you can say, I asked if it's a genuine GTS-T and they said it was. Lie as much as you want, they can't prove otherwise. They did sell it as a GTS-T, they even went to the trouble of changing the badge. Normally I don't like the idea of people lieing to get what they want in the beauraucratic world - however when people blatantly rip you off like that, then they need to be put straight by any means necessary. Bugger them.

And, if they start to offer partial refunds, make sure you get such a refund as if you bought a non- turbo + $400 for the turbo. Then maybe trade it in somewhere else for a proper GTS-T.
