They seem to have a decent range there and was wondering if anyone here has bought a car off them?

Are there any dealers that you recommend, especially any on the East side of Melb?

Im looking for either a black or white 'line, sunroof would be good :D, standard or not. $15k to spend on the car... there is 1 or 2 at Power Road Car Sales that fit the bill...

Thanks

-Steve

PS I did a search and there wasnt anything recent.

man just go private sellers. the only thing i've heard from people who have bought from both is that they saved $$$ when they went private instead and the quality of the cars were the same.

i rang power rd a couple of months ago and i dunno they didn't sound "enthusiastic". i asked em if they had any 4 door R32s in stock and the guy was like "nah we don't".....thats it. and in the auto supermarket magazine their page was full of 4door R32s lol.

yep same here:

"hi saw the silver 32 advertised in blah.. is it manual or auto?"... "uhmmm.. I dunno.. I'll have to check"..

"ok well can you tell me anything about it?"... "uhmm its silver.. "

"ok well I'm looking for a blah in a manual with a blah blah blah, do you have anything I might be interested in?".. "uhm I dunno you'll have to come and have a look"..

Yes I'm going to trek all the way down to Dandenong to find they have nothing anywhere near what I want.

i got my car from power road, they dont seem intrested on the phone but in person go speak to them and the cars are really good, and they know everything about skylines.

On the phone they talk very un intrested , but they have heaps of good deals, go down there, get the car u like checked out, and take it for a spin, they were really good when i went down

wow, this is completely different to when i went down there, the guy was just an arogant pric to me n ma mates... but 4 young guys (only 1 that actually had a licence) asking for test drives is kinda suspicious lol, but yeh, he is genuinely looking for a skyline, we werent just doin a dog act on the owner

if your into series 2 autos... otherwise i think they had 1 or 2 manual ones for $21k...

seen some nice 33 series 2s for $16k... dunno what was up bacause the same ph no. is on 2, a black and white one...

Mine was 16,800 + ORC (3 year warranty was free) - but not power road carsales.

I heard some stories about them, but i suppose we hear something about everyone - thats why its important to check the car thoroughly.

i got a pretty good deal off them 10.5k including rego and stamp duty for my 33 gts25 so the car itself was only like 9.5k

went with my dad and he let us try out a lot of cars

that's the best thing about this guy just gives u the keys and u can go for a drive no fuss unlike some other dealers i went to.

well im only 21, and when i went alone he test drove it with me as a passenger, he didnt let me drive, but when my dad came with me t o test it, he let us go alone for the test drive.

but they let u call racv to check out the car as well, which is good and they included a few goodies in mine, so if u ask them they will :P

Yeah, be careful with them. They were fine during the sale stage, but when i found that the tmimng belt was incredibly loose and the tension arm worn about 2 weeks later, (my mechanic was asking how far i'd driven without it snapping) they tried to camouflague it as 'something we forgot to tighten'. Otherwise, the prices are fair - They even drove 20mins to pick me up from a train station!

SSV on princes HWY... not quite sure of the exact address, I pass it on the way to Caulfield monash... say inbetween Warrigal Rd and Burke Rd...

No experience except that I dropped in just to check out the cars (Big range of imports)

I went in my skyline, the guy knew I wasn't there to buy anything but he was happy to have a chat.

Probably Mark, a good guy - always happy to have a chat about the skylines. They have a lot of supras there too - looks like they are doing well :ermm:

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
