i cring everytime i go past and see ppl in these dodgy caryards being taken for a ride

few ppl mentioned they did a odometer check, did anyone get back to the yard and ask for an explanation after sighting the de-reg papers

i know they will lie and come up with some excuse, but more importantly, expose them on the spot for being dodgy

You see, the most of us on this forum are knowledgable and we know that there are Odo Checks and other facilities/tools in place to check that the car we are about to purchase is legit.

However,

The majority of the market on Parramatta Rd. trumps all over us in terms of marketing. They are in a central location and have been selling vehicles for years ! They utilise terms such as " Best Japanese Importer in Australia" to reassure the customer.

If I had a budget or some semi-decent marketing skills and support and more likes/shares on my Facebook Page ; I am sure this can be prevented. It just seems that the people that know about it feign ignorance to spreading it around unless asked.

a few of us should post on Edward Lee's youtube/facebook page to let people know about their dealings

Check out Google reviews on Edward Lees. People have posted and he has replied to them, trying to discredit them

Got link to the vid? Really dont want to watch more videos of him than i have to!

Link is in post above yours. @ 1:23

His videos are hilarious...kind of a macabre fascination like watching a train wreck happening.

PS: Why do people who speak in middle eastern accents (Lebanese etc) sound like they are ripping you off when trying to sell you something...even though when sometimes they aren't. I have a few Lebanese friends , awesome people , but when they speak it sounds like they are about to rort you for everything you have

I agree. I always have a hearty chuckle when watching his videos. He has effectively tapped into a market thats for sure. There are many unsuspecting customers out there.

I'd really enjoy meeting up with Phil one day and talking p*nel g*ps...for the lelz.

"thing" is singular.

"things" is plural

Methinks it should be plural.

Even putting Jap snow tyres back on after a car is complied is plural x4 !!!!

:(

a mate had this happen to him on his s15.

i lol'd.

What appears to be a very nice GTR on here.

A User on this forum was about to purchase this with half the Km's from a Dealership in Sydney

He won't be named but he will speak if he decides to.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
