I had a blew with this arsehole about 3 years ago.... He told me and my 16 year old daughter (at the time) to f**k off out of his yard!

I asked him he thought that was appropriate language in front of customers let alone my daughters age?

That's a good point too,

Why do car dealers think they can swear in front if customers and still get a sale, fair enough if I swear first, which I don't believe I ever have when making a purchase

But 2 months ago when I was looking at car this car salesman thought he was at a Kevin bloody Wilson concert. dropping a swear every second word acctually put me off,

I don't expect to walk onto dicksmith and when I ask about phone cable have the salesman say " well we have this f**ken cable and that f**ken cable and this ones shit and that ones a kunt to get in"

Or

call up telstra and the operator says "the problem is the reception in your area is f**ken shit"

Or

call the bank and the customer service rep says "the problem is that you've got no f**ken money"

So why do car salesman think they can do it

According to that article ^ ^ ^ Matthew, Creak has resurfaced 20 yrs later after being suspended in 1992.

In 2000 he was running Cars Autohaus Thornleigh when our family dropped in to look at a BMW523i that had been advertised by him as a '98 with multifunction steering wheel.

In fact it was an early '97 with a plain steering wheel and less airbags.

He cracked a fit when I asked nicely about his mistaken advert.

After we'd bought it, Creak would only honour aspects of the warranty that he could readily fix in the workshop - not others.

I also pushed for an Inspection II to be done on the car before takeover - but hey, who knows what went on in the service area. Other than that, the car was pristine. Typical side-tank, fan clutch and other water issues that BMW has tho'

The article in last night's TT was nearly gagged by Creak in the Supreme Court before airing.

I hope tonight's Part II isn't just an epilogue/summary and contains more meat.

I think that Frank whatever-his-name-is needs to be investigated by the ATO besides those caryard cowboys going to gaol as Bob alluded to. :domokun:

i think everyone has had a bad experience with car dealers terry, with what i have experienced in the past, i don't take there word seriously...

but what gets up my nose is what's stopping him from going to another state and doing it over again? (apart from a prison sentence).

he did it once...

off topic, we should get tt to investigate all the imports that are ''disappearing''.

hahahaha I wish

imports are hoon cars so they are not going to try and help the "hoon" community

more speed cameras would fix this.....wait wut? lol

I do agree with what you said before - most of us would have a better idea and you are right - for "non enthusiasts" they should not be taken advantage of because they dont know or wouldnt know to check.

And that's the people they are targeting with this, winding back a porshe is still going to land an non enthusiast who just wants a porshe for the sake of it,

WE all know that import odometers are a complete wank and basically might as well say 1kmfor what they are worth,

But others will go on carsales and make a short list and put huge emphasis on the kms as the most important thing next to the year and features

I've learnt the odometer means nothing at all to do with condition, even if it is accurate. It's all about how the car is looked after.

A car can have done 10 000 KM, or 200 000KM, and both be in the same condition depending on how they've been looked after.

The point is; those dodgy car yards are superficially raising the value and justify the asking price of their cars by winding back the odometers.

In turn, it makes the honest establishments have to fight harder to make their sales. They'd even lose some that they shouldn't have lost.

Kids with honest Dads go hungry ;)

No, not you Rick D ;)

Wish I could wind back the odo on my wife.

perhaps you should trade her in for a new model?

just don't get her from Pennant Hills Ford, SUV Sales Lansvale and TopGear Cars Chatswood.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
