If they didn't get a roadworthy done when you bought it, the car would not have had a legit safety cert, and therefore it was illegal to sell or advertise for sale.

Just to expand on that, a car can be sold without a safety certicicate but must be sold unregistered as-is. Obviously if they are trying to sort out that issue now, then they are very dodgy and sold it illegaly. Possibly try to get Qld Transport onto them, as they could be up for some big fines.

I spoke to qld transport they dont no how it was registered. then said it was registered and thats that

Dude get in there and start bustin heads. I agree with what has been said already. The absentee has either broken or wrecked it and they are trying to cover the fact.

My god this is very scary to hear....i guess doing the backgroud work before buying really helps....any hope you get it back...and its obviously the guy is not on holiday. he must have had a small altercation with the car....and try to fix up ASAP...

Can you Plz...PM me the place....Just wanted to know...so i can keep well away....and WORD of Mouth PEOPLE....make sure not another liner goes near !!!!..

You have just scared the hell out of me, I dropped my car off to the dealer today to fix some issues that should not have passed roadworthy. Luckily my dealer isn't in springwood, Looks like I will be keeping alot of contact with them to find out whats going on with my car.

please pm me the details I maybe able to help as I have a family member working for QLD transport. Other than that demand car by monday or money back as that is completly unacceptable.

If the car is a dodgey maybe thats just what they want her to do. :laugh:

sad to hear that amy.. humm whats the name of the yard or the addy if u could PM me that i shall keep a eye out for the car with those wheels and kit on as they might even change the plates + sticker .. sounds like they are playing with you .. i hope this gets sorted out for u

Firstlly;

That blows so bad, I have not seem something like this in a long time. I feel really bad for you and hope your venting on us helps.

Secondlly;

"Today Tonight" or "A Current Affair" will track it down for free...

I'd report it stolen anyway hey, go down there with the police report or whatever. That should fire them up a bit to get it back. Then work at ways to get the placed closed down or something until your car is recovered.

Not good tho. Deadset next car I buy its going to be new. And Im going to be down the docks when it rocks up.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
