thanks ben! (i think, it was a while back!)

i used to drive past our car every day and was totally in love with it

hasnt caused us a lick of trouble and still goes like the clappers (just wish it used less fuel)

street machines fixed all the little niggles with it we had, with out complaining or fuss

didnt mind that we paid a premium price for the car, considering the condition it was in

mate, it was a pleasure dealing with you and theo

i was suprised that others didnt have the same experience

street machines is gone now hey?

You remember... I'm honoured! And excellent to hear you're still enjoying it (fuel issues aside

Look, I honestly reckon most dealers are going to be reasonable to deal with these days, most of the "cowboys" are weeded out fairly quickly.

As Spooks alludes to, even "good" cars can have their share of issues. Remember that larger yards can turn over 40 to 50 cars a month, and with a team of say, 4 guys, it's hard to drive all of them frequently to see if there's any small things that need looking at/fixing. That, compounded by the fact that imports can sit awaiting shipping and compliance for up to months, means that some small issues may get through.

And as Spooks can attest, if you do have a legitamate problem or whinge, go and see the selling dealer, don't carry on like a pork chop, allow them the time they need to do a proper fix, don't threaten them with violence, don't call them "lying c**ts", just try and be as pleasant as possible! It seems to work.

And Spooks, unfortunately Jason was forced to move by the council (the site is where the new tunnel's emerging), and have amalgamated with their other yard (Autoshop) on the magic mile. (I still keep in touch with them even though I've out of the game for several years now)

markimak - please send over that PM. I know people who've recently been to purchase a car from Paul and I'd like to know your experience.

Import Auto Centre - I got dicked around for half a day. I wasn't allowed to drive the car I wanted to buy and was talked to rudely by a member of staff. In addition, I was treated as if I knew as little as the salespeople did. Mark (the manager) seemed nice and was good to his word, but a lot of the cars there I wouldn't touch with a 10ft pole. Rusted 180 for 14k? no thanks!

Motorman - One of the sales people (must have been Paul) was really cool. He was friendly and reasonable and gave us advice that would help US and not the company. I had a look at the cars in their lot, and condition didn't match the claimed Klms.

I bought my RS4 from Import Auto, Good price, great car and terrific service. Any little problems have been rectified straight away. Mark gave me a lancer wagon for 3 days as a courtesy car then upgraded it to a Delica when he found out my parents were coming up for a while. I would recommend them to anyone!!
