hi guys i thought id put this in the NSW section as its happening in NSW... im looking to put down a deposit for a car tomorrow, iv never left a deposit before on a car i usually buy the car on the day after inspection, but this time i dont have time to gather up the money in time so im going to leave a deposit say $200-250.

Is there any document i can print out saying i paid a deposit and that i will pay for the car by said date and that the seller is required to sell it to me upon taking the deposit?

I dont want to just leave the money with just verbal agreement that they will sell the car to me, iv heard about a few people doing this and then the seller backs out or something.

Sure you can leave a deposit on a car and make it a contractual agreement that he sells it to you and only you.

Usually the seller makes up a bill of sale, but if you don't want to rely on him to handwrite it, you can make up a template on "Word" with gaps to be filled in + make a copy for yourself too.

The template would state things like...

* total price

* deposit paid

* balance to pay

* no encumbrance (which you should check out anyway)

* date of contract

* date by which it'll be paid

* space for seller's signature

* space for seller's full name (check against his ID and registration papers)

* space for seller's driver's licence number

* space for your signature

* registration number of the car

* VIN# of the car (checked from both the car and registration papers)

You will check that the car is unencumbered via government depts before handing over the balance.

When you pick up the car and pay the balance, you can use that receipt of yours for him to state, "Paid In Full"

In addition, payment method, cash or DD/EFT.

Technically, if you put down less that 10% of the purchase price the seller is not legally obliged to sell it to you & either party can still pull out of the deal at any time.

99% of the time people who take a deposit will sell it to you anyway.

Do what terry said and you will be fine 999 times out of 1000

I recently purchased a car, subject to finance through a new car dealer... we couldn't agree on finance terms and now they are trying to hold my $3000 deposit

going all dept of fair trading on their asses

Were you misled as to the Terms and Conditions of Finance Liz?

Were you told untruths?

You're a smart lady. I presume you've commenced a journal containing all dialogue and anomalies.

'Rattle the sabre' enough and maybe they'll stick back down huh?

All the best!

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
