Hi guys,

Anyone who has bought cars from them before could you please share some experience? How has your car been running so far? Are you happy with their service especially after sale service? Any feedback is welcome

Thanks

1st post asking about a shop and if any one has been ripped off by them.

Reason being?

If your looking for feedback on good experiences with Importers there is a thread.

Most don't post openly bad experiences re shops due to libel / defamation laws.

You may get some Private Messages (PM's) tho.

Edit: a quick search on "sports auto group" will come up with results :thumbsup:

^^ as stated Qisong.

If you wish to broaden your spectrum of research, besides the thread "If You're Happy With Your Import, Who Brought It In?", consider this...

that Sports Auto Group has been affiliated with AllImports (now renamed) and Motor Point

I impulse bought my 32 from them when my brother went in to look at a rex.

Paid overs for it but no complaints about the car, didn't have any hidden issues they would have known about and their service at the time of sale was great.

Bit disappointed that they sold me a 3 year warranty with the car claiming that it would be covered only to find out it doesn't cover a vehicle with aftermarket modifications when am arm snapped and shattered the clutch and flywheel. Not sure if they just didn't know it wouldn't be covered or wanted to make some extra coin.

Also don't expect much help from them once you have paid for and taken the vehicle.

That said I have had worse experiences with private sales

Looks spammy, especially listing the address as thread title... this is not the first time I've seen a random newbie post like this...

I got my car from them. If I could go back in time I would re consider giving them my money. The car is in really good shape, suprisignly genuine kms. But there customer service isnt great, I had a few problems that didnt cost me too much but were just shitty to have happen to me two days after buying the car. Just do your reasearch on the car you are looking at. Get it checked out by a mechanic and do all the nesecary paperwork checks.

I said I was one of their customers I am happy with the car but extremely unhappy with their service. This is the experience I had with them I am just trying to see if they treat all the customers the same or is it just me.

Thing is I want to see the car before I purchase it. I have had issues before with importing cars through a broker. I have no doubt that Iron Chef is good, its just there are some things that are out of his control.

I purchased an elgrand through a broker and in the process of it arriving one of the remotes got stolen from the port. It only had one key. Issues like that is why i wouldnt do it again. Would prefer to find one here and know its got all that.

      Hopefully you can just unbolt them, thank them for their service, then bin them and not replace them Apparently the sensors like to set them off with only minor impacts at low speed It looks like they do a delete kit for some of these, but, it is costly

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
