Have had no dealing with buying from Sinergy, just going to post up a few interesting facts:

1) Take a look at this black v36 coupe - according to the ad VIN is: 6U9000CKV36405081

http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Nissan-Skyline-2008/AGC-AD-14093947/?Cr=10&sdmvc=1

Grab the chassis/frame number off the end of that VIN ie. CKV36-405081 and plug it in to a part sourcing/month of production tool such as: http://www.epc-data.com

Note the colour code - A54. This car should be 'Vibrant Red' - NOT black. Look up the paint code on this handy website: http://www.nissanreference.com/infinitig

2) Grey v36 coupe - according to the ad chassis/frame # would be CKV36-401081 (spooky how similar it is to the above):

http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Nissan-Skyline-2007/AGC-AD-14249040/?Cr=6&sdmvc=1

This car should be QX1 'Ivory Pearl' (white), NOT grey.

3) White v35 coupe - according to the ad chassis/frame # would be CPV35-504062:

http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Nissan-Skyline-2003/AGC-AD-13371614/?Cr=7&sdmvc=1

This car should be KY0 'Brilliant Silver' - NOT pearl white.

4) Silver Stagea - according to the ad chassis/frame # would be NM35-317114:

http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Nissan-Stagea-2003/AGC-AD-12563859/?Cr=3&sdmvc=1

This car should be QX1 'Ivory Pearl' - NOT silver

5) Another silver Stagea - according to the ad chassis/frame # would be PNM35-700027:

http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Nissan-Stagea-2004/AGC-AD-13606744/?Cr=5&sdmvc=1

This car should be B21 'Athens Blue' NOT silver

Does Sinergy expect us to believe it has 'butter-fingers' enter all of their sales Ad's for them? Really... the question that needs to be asked is:

Why doesn't Sinergy provide genuine VINs when it advertises it's cars online?

Slightly off topic, nice search tool.

Good to see my car is meant to have 17 inch rims and was originally grey.

Interesting info above though. Either all of the cars listed have had a colour change or they're listing incorrect vins. Either way it doesn't look good.

i have had pour dealings with there service section and one of the managers i dont know how he calls himself a proud owner but i dont know about their sales staff and processes...i know there expensive...i would see iron chef or someone similar. there are several good guys out there who dont have a bad word against them.

[pphhhfffttt]

dodgy imports to the rescue again !

Why doesn't Sinergy provide genuine VINs when it advertises it's cars online?

I'm now able to answer my own question. Per the above post Sinergy have a strange habit of advertising their cars with "real looking" VINs thanks to their fat-fingered webmaster.

Fortunately Sinergy have recently aquired some new stock - and one of those new stock is a bit less generic:

a 2005 Nissan Skyline 350GT in red (an uncommon colour). Have a look on your favourite auction statistics site - you will find only one 2005 red v35 coupe has sold within the last 3 months and I suspect the total number this year would be less than 10.

Let's have a look at the VIN per the CarSales ad. (you'll need to use the IOS/Android/RT app - for some reason carsales hide the VIN field on their regular website these days )

According to the ad the vehicle chassis number would be: CPV35600186 - but according to that number the car should be QX1 (pearl white).

One of our (very few) 2005 red candidates conveniently has the chassis number CPV35600986 - only 1 digit difference!

So - the chances are already highly likely that we've found the same car but further confirmation comes when we run the chassis number through the Australian government RAWS compliance database.

Conveniently enough the car with our corrected chassis number had it's compliance done recently by "Redicorp Pty Ltd" - registered to an address in Adelaide, SA.

Therefore the answer to my initial question in the case of this particular car is precisely : -31,385

Fark... some epic research there. Well done

These people should really be penalized for this kind of behaviour. It just devalues all imports and makes it harder for the genuine sellers to compete.

[GH05T]

so hard to do so, they just keep going and kids keep buying their cars.

wait untill you get into their service department

[dodgyimports]

Ad got pulled pretty quick :\

You should send all of these through to someone like Today Tonight or ACA. See if you can get them to pick up the story and go ask some questions at these importers.

[C4a0s]

yes... show them all the facts on TV and see how they answer the questions...bloody shady dealers...
