I wondered why they charge so much!

They are the biggest rip offs IMO.

That and many other things. I have plenty of reasons and personal experiences to never buy from there and Redline Motorsport.

would be interesting to see if the cops had another blitz on import yards, how many would remain in the lot without a yellow canary......not knowing the product that you're selling is just no excuse for apparent ignorance (cops would agree)......they could be selling you a ticking bomb

In our meeting with Neil, this topic was raised by Neil himself. He understands we buy cars and initially are not aware of mods done. Neil also understands that some car yards do blatantly lie to buyers/browsers. They are completely aware of this.

Anyone hear the owner of REVS this morning on Nova?

He was saying how when he won tix to the VIP area for the Clipsal 500, and got introduced to Mike Rann, he asked him about the drag strip in Adelaide, why the land is withheld by the government, etc.

Mike Rann's response: "I never new any of this? I'll get onto it."

Right, so he never new that we've all been complaining for 5 years to get a drag strip in Adelaide? No worries, Mr. Rann.

he shouldnt have been allowed to attend the function, since he is so against motosports???..lol,, wish someone would have pulled him up in front of the TV cameras to ask that question to him..lol

Motorsports brings in big money, when will they figure it out and cash in on it? instead of pushing it to the back burner all the time

(get rann out of his bubble in bullshite castle to see what adelaide wants)

the Tour down under and lance brought in heaps, and now I was reading there thinking of dropping the stage 5 races in Aldinga due to cost to run security etc? idiots , worldwide advertising for minimal cost ??? when the economy is tight you get free world advertising on TV,,hmmmmm fools

Yes but they'd 'clean up the car' to get them through the ID check, remove the non-standard parts, etc. It's also a part of compliance, but they usually install the modded parts back on after compliance.

And I know for a fact, Synergy respray their cars that they import and remove all the dents, dings, etc prior to putting the car into their car yard - hence the slightly higher price, even if the respray is a single layer affair.

I saw the cars off the container they come in rough as hell, and they only do as little as possible to sell them off.

Mine had a chip respray on the nose, lousy job too and the worse detail on the planet.

most dealers do a respray on the nose of cars, for chips. but very few do a dent removal. new windshield if pitted or chipped yes, because of its a safety issue.

Sinergy ,,dont get me started ..lol thats where my GTT is from, mistake!!

hello consumer affairs..lol

Penny , old saying, If the salemens lips are moving, there lying !!!!. never take the word of a dealer, get it in writing and get a copy

and dont tell them you have a trade in till you find out the best cash price, so they cant work the numbers in there favor? yes I sold cars for Mazda and Volvo for a short time when I got out of navy.. couldnt live with myself selling rubbish to people.

no offence Iron Chef, not everyone is dodgy , But the majority are, Penny find a trust worthy shop and stick with them, ask lots of people where they bought cars and for feedback, save you a lot of driving around to view rubbish or abusive sales people

Cheers,

Honestly wish it was easier to turbo mine

Oh well, im in no rush.

I wouldnt buy a car from a car yard in the first place.

I bought my car of a geek. Said he didnt really like cars in the end. He was respectable. He couldnt afford the car. awesome.

Id have a look at some private cars. talk to the person. get some general idea of what the person is like.

[Luciano]

Not 100% on this, but wasnt Rann the one who endorsed the clipsal 500 going ahead in the first place? I never thought he was the anti-motorsport type at all.

Hoons are a different story

Wrap in bubble wrap or newspaper or whatever you can get your hands on, box them up and take to the post office. Just make sure the box length doesn't exceed 105cm

Just for you, Madaz:

Penny i had a similar problem with a yard a few years back (Sensible's) Guy seemed too pushy for my liking, as in he brought the car to my place fot a test drive Rear tyres were bald, aftermarket silicone hose in engine bay, heavy duty clutch, the list goes on. Things just didn't add up! Ex missus put a deposit down, but then changed her mind on it (just seemed dodgy)Was threatened with legal action for pulling out of the sale and all. Went down and fronted the owner of the yard, had another look over the car and asked to see compliance/rego papers. Seems they had been miss placed

Managed to get out of the shit by pointing out he was trying to sell an uncomplianced and un roadworthy car (bald tyres and no compliance sticker), said if he wanted to persue it further he had alot more to lose than me. Never heard anymore about it

So in all just be careful, unles they can provide you with history of some sort or a damn good warranty i wouldn't be buying from them.

That's a thought, Penny why don't you give Kristian a try......might have to wait a bit longer for a car but it would be at a reasonable price and not hidden by a layer of cover-up paint and you won't get the spin doctor treatment either.

Mum's are great....mines in her 70's and still wiser than me.
