Do a REVS check make sure you do all the usual checks you would do when buying a second hand car.

I've been warned to be beyond carefull when dealing with this yard.

It is an import so some of you guys will likely know.

+1. Has a mechanic looked it over? Compression, oil leaks, rust, suspension condition, you'll want to know all this and more.

Definitely do a revs check.

No man, I dont like that place, their cars and salesmen are dodgy as, when I was out lookin for cars, one of their salesmen tried so hard to sell me a dodgy R32GTR that I test drove, I could see his desparation and try-hard ways, and I'm like, 'Hello, no means no and thats it'.

[Dori*mon]

Yeah, heard a lot of bad things about them.

[Miguelone]

Wouldn't you find this out before you put down a deposit and made plans to fly down to look at the car?

Only if you have 50% of a brain, or more.

Like the old adage goes, "a fool and their money are soon parted."

I think NS had a thread on this car yard.

Buyers beware...

[Galois]

Lol, just curious, how many forums did you post this on?

[RB25PWR]

The only things I've heard is bad. I wouldn't put that much faith in anything I couldn't see, touch, inspect and drive myself...

I hope you don't get bitten.

2nd hand car yard....say no more...they are all bad!

Doesnt matter if they sell Imports on VN vacationer Wagons

[samuri]

Whats the arrangement with your deposit if you dont proceed with purchase?

Do you have an agreement in writing?If not I would be sweating bricks.

Only heard good things about Prstige Motors for a Nissan .What are you buying?

There was a thread on ns.com about this place, I would stay away.

[eightsixboy]

Pretty sure almost all second hand car yards are dodgy as.

I would personally never buy from a car yard.

^ ^ ^ so glad you said "almost"

The ones around Sydney that have had good feedback are

* Top Secret Imports

* JapLink

* Nagoya

* Powerplay Imports

* Northshore Prestige

...but even then, the odd one slips through.

I've been warned that for the next two months, there may be a few "hot" cars coming over from Sendai area.

And I haven't a clue as to how to geiger-count micro- or millisieverts
