saff_cossie Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 If you do a search around the forums you will get some feedback but you won't find anything negative as those type of posts are not tolerated and don't stick around long. Have a look around for the dealer/workshop with the most positive feedback and base it on that. Some people may choose to PM you if they have any info.

drftr32 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 yea he hates time wasters. my aunty is friends with his wife so he let me take the cars for a spin . but sort of pissed him off when i didnt end up buying one of his cars. the cars are good but i didnt want to spend 9K on a stock r32 when i ended up getting my r33 for 10k.

stolen_s15 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I think you can find better quality cars at better prices than @ Power Rd. Check out SSV. cnr Princes Highway & Huntingdale Rd, Oakleigh. 95433722 Peter, Paul or Mark. Great guys, with top notch cars.

Modena Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Power Rd is decent. He doesnt push you the cars. SSV is awesome. Quality cars for bit more . Stay the phuck away from SEI in Dandenong... John is one of the dodgiest car sales men with really poor quality cars.

arep3 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 i got my GTR from Shayne at Power Rd. he never pushed me into buying it or any of the other cars he had. On saying that, i believe you could get better quality cars from other places. or maybe buy 1 privately from someone off this forum. that way you can get a car thats been in aust for a while and has a service history from here. you will be able to pick up a good clean car thats had all the crap done. ie: 100,000km service, water oil pump, rubber hoses etc etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/206371-purchase-car/#findComment-3652691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
krzysiu Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 My car came from power road car sales and so have my friends 2 r34's. All the cars I've seen from there are in really good condition.

R33silverS2 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 The problem with some dealers and i experienced with power rd a couple of years back was that half the time they have no bloody idea if your serious or not, I enquired about a car, got no service - guy obvisoulsy thought i just wanted to 'joy ride' so i took my 20k else where and went to a different dealer, who had me test driving that day, and what do you know i bought the car. The sort of people that are going to come into an import yeard looking at skylines and generally not going to be mid thirties in a gucci suit so if they wanna sell some cars they should respect more of the customers. same goes for workshops with me, good customer service goes a long way, and i have been to many different workshops around Melbourne and the ones that i decided not to return to are no longer - so i obviously wasn't the only one who thought this way.

nickcorr Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 My car came from Power Road and Shane was fine to deal with. The screen prices are only a starting point for the game so don't be scared to offer what you think that the car is worth, but again, no need to be offensive when you make an offer..... With me being an old git, he was very patient, and was more than happy to let me drive a few cars. Even let me have a poke around the back at the cars that hadn't been complianced.... They also fixed a couple of minor issues under the 3 month statutory warranty, without any arguments.

webber Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Power Road Car Sales are top guys, shane is a no bullshit guy & mick in the workshop knows his stuff. If you let him know that you are serious about buying a car he will sell you the car you want. Not push you into something that they want to off-load. because thats not how they work. The last time i was there, he had sold a 2001 S2 R34 Gt sedan for $13990 & another one 99 mdl, for $11,000 which i thought was dirt cheap. (As i am now in the market to buy a family car) only have 4 damn GTS-T coupes to get rid of first.. lol.. I would not hesitate to drive down the couple of hours(that it takes me), to deal with them. Don't be thrown off by his phone manner, (shane used to be a truckie) and he is old-school. Either you want it or you don't; i won't push you into it, come back with the money if you want to pick it up... Good aussie, no bullshit salesman. As eveyone says, cash talks, negotiate...
