Freddy Kruger Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 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 , 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. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/121557-power-road-car-sales/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IH8VEE8S Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 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.

" "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"..

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.

BL01 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Few of my customers went to Power Road before they approached me. Not trying to give any negative comments but unless you have money with you, Shane won't really have much interest in talking to you.

baron25 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 (edited) 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!

Probably Mark, a good guy - always happy to have a chat about the skylines.
