Has anyone bought a car of Platinum vehicle sales Brisbane or had a RAWS compliance done by there workshop ?

I can't find any info anywhere about them apart from their own advertising.

Not saying there's anything moody but I'm thinking of buying a car of them and I'm just a bit uneasy .

:woot:

Do the normal checks see if you can get a copy of the Japanese auction sheet to. I think some people on the forum that can help with that

They sent me all the paperwork and it checks out ---the price is quite something else though , eeeek , :starwars:

Did you end up buying from platinum vehicle sales? I just bought a v36 from them and had it shipped to Adelaide

Failed vechile inspection because they hadn't changed the catalytic converters at compliance. Now I have the big expense to change them and they refuse to help

Yep I bought an EVO 7 GTA of Platinum , had some problems with the suspension --like 2 out of the 4 struts were rooted and the usual service everything bullshit , timing belt etc that you just have to expect with every import , Platinum came to the party mostly on the suspension and the car was a good quality unit overall , I'm still driving it quite happily 15 months later without any dramas.

My partner is a paralegal and I don't piss about being nice I go legal straight away with warranty issues ,and I mean straight away.

Gotta know that a single front strut OE , just the strut is $765.00 if you need incentive,

Paid primo price but it was either that or buy out of state and all the bullshit that goes along with that little fandango., has all the auction papers Jap gov klm certs , Jap Mits OE log and service books from new , revs paperwork shit etc so I reckoned it was worth the coin.

Don't look for a tradeback anywhere with the Eagers group if you're looking to buy another car though, I did it as a half way serious exercise on a newby about 5 months ago , they wont even return your calls ,rude pricks.

Sorry to hear you're having issues , why wont they come to the party , I'd be guessing that it's because they didn't have to give you a roadworthy out of state or that the Queensland roadworthy isn't recognised in SA ?

How much did you pay for compliance? Most charge between 2k to 3k where as the cats themselves cost around 2.5k so i dont think there are any workshops out there that do change cats on these cars unless otherwise you pay for them.

My EVO GTA was complied by GT Compliance in Silverwater NSW not by Platinum or Eagers (group) who own Platinum and whilst the compliance certificate and paperwork were with the rest of the paperwork that came with the car the actual invoice for the compliance work wasn't .

Interestingly my cat is down as having been changed in the compliance paperwork .

I have had the new cats fitted and credit to Platinum Dealer Principal Michael Kennedy who paid for the new cats. Once I managed to get past the salesman and service manager and talked to Michael the issue of who was going to pay was resolved in less than five minutes. Guess I was lucky!

Well done , and good on Platinum , did you not get the compliance paperwork with the car , what has been changed and done to the car at compliance is all in that ? --as well as who did the job.

Maybe ask them for a copy of the compliance certificate and paperwork for your records if you haven't got it.--just a thought---- :smile:

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
