Yes its true,

My best mate works for Peter Warren and they are not the only ones who have fallen over.(Nepean motor group)

Due to the climate noone is buying cars. In 50 years of Peter Warren being open this is the worse they have seen.

As Peter Warren Group owns nearly half of Liverpool that offsets the bad sales and are able to stay above water.

Most dealers rent the space, which means massive overheads compared to Peter Warren Group.

I was driving a fully optioned FG XR8 the other day and sticker price is over 60k.

They are selling it for 39k!!!! Which is a bargain!!!!

The car market is one of the hardest hit at the moment.

Windsor Ford are going, aswell as the one in Hornsby i think.

Hi, I happen to work for Nepean Motor Group & yes they have appointed Administrators & receivers, the finance company behind us is Esanda not GE & they have handed over control to Grant Thornton Receivers.

As such it is "business as usual" for the moment, the dealership is on the market, so we are waiting for new owners.

We have been assured our pay entitlements are safe & trading is slowly being restored with the manufacturers, they held a creditors meeting in Sydney today.

As you are in the industry is it true that Westpac are steppin gin to finance the "floorplans" for the GE/Esanda dealers that will have their finances withdrawn early next year?

Don't know anything about Wetpatches involvement, all I know is that Esanda is owned by ANZ, I will ask the person from Esanda who comes out every week to check our stock if she has heard anything :D

Its the fact of the cars not selling but more so that the floor stock is leased and the financing on these leases has been pulled.

no one can afford to buy that many cars and just have them sitting there doing nothing.

Thats true to a degree, however companies like Esanda and St george etc are still lending money for floor plans. They are obviously inundated by dealers begging them for funding, but given there relative monopoly they can pick and choose who they finance. Couple this to the fact that most dealers financials look pretty ordinary at the moment, and you have some very worried DP's

Toyota however have made a promise that TFS would finance the floor plan of any Toyota dealership that has had GE funding, in addition if it was a multi franchise operation they have said that they would extend the TFS agreement to the clients Non-Toyota dealerships!

Yeh, my uncle is currently negotiating to get his deposit $$ back on a new leased car from NMG. Tough times. It seems as if lending institutions can't trust one another with credit.

yeh i heard that the other day and was told only to sell things to them COD (i work for trivett)

I also heard that hawkesbery valley holden is starting to struggle badly aswell

You know what they say... THE FASTER YOU GO UP, THE HARDER YOU FALL..LOL

They should have used their money to turn debts into assets rather than be greedy and borrow more money to purchase new businesses. The whole thing was running on borrowed money.

The only dealers that are safe now are those who have been in business for a long time and own the premises and used cars outright.

My mate works for the subaru dealer accross the road, and he tells me that Nepean Motor Group was under so much financial preassure over the last year that customers where just walking accross the road and buying a car from him coz they hated the hard-sell tactics used from the General Sales Manager.

I'm sure a well backed company (like Inchcape, Suttons, AHG) will take over soon and the workers there will be feeling more secure.

I heard they stopped the Nepean Motor Group owner trying to skip the country to Pakistan with an undisclosed sum of cash??? hahahahahahaha

what about Nadeem's wife and kids? did he leave them as well? what about the other partner?

Apparently, he was stopped at the airport by the federal police. His cash and passport where confescated and he is now hiding his head in a hole... hahahahahaha

KARMA... KARMA

i just heard about the nepean motor group. wasnt there two owners of this motor group? someone was telling me that one of the owners cheated the other, is that true? what is the actuall story, do you know?

One cheated the other??????? LOL

More like one (NK) used and cheated his way through everyone. From his ex-wife (and the sale of her fathers estate to get him started) to his latest appointment and partner of 1 month (a CEO!!!)

That place was nicknamed "the revolving door". New Managers and partners all the time. It was all building up to this. He had recently begun employing young and inexperienced people in senior accounts roles.

By the end the good people where gone and the only people he was left with where dinosaurs that could not find work anywhere else.

If it is true that he attempted to escape. Then he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. The last thing this country needs during difficult economic times is any amount of money leaving our shores. Specially to Pakistan..LOL

Let's admit it, when it comes to Bankruptcy, Australians can still earn a decent living.

EGG ON HIS FACE!!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
