Whos delt with Envy Imports?

[madcabbie]

Has anyone here delt with or bought a car from Envy Imports of Many?

If so what was there experience like?

[Mr_G]

Sent them an email about 2 weeks ago regarding a rear bar they have up on their site, no response so far... But then again, I should just call them... Havent bought a car through them, but if your looking for a r33 , take a look on the cars for sale on this forum, there are a few nice ones going for good prices...

Cheers

Hey i had my car complied by them, they also put in a heavy duty clutch for me.. during compliance i ordered a high flow cat.. but they just put in a cheap crappy one.. which i didn't know about until i got my exhaust done.

It's very hard to be bluntly honest in an open forum, but there are a lot of better Skyline dealers than Envy...

Try Prestige at Balgowlah, they usually have a nice range of cars & seem like straight up guys to deal with - I didn't buy a car from either of them because I found the right car privately.

Hey Guys - more northern beachies eh?

Yeah there are a lot of things to be said about envy, unfortunately you can't go into the negatives on this forum due to liability issues. (ie, you bag them, i get sued ).

Thanks guys,

I wasn't out to bag Envy, I am just tring to norrow down who to look at in Sydney before I get there next Monday, As I won't have alot of time to waste with no hopers. And I saw a couple of cars I thought looked half decent on there web site.

I would love to just pay cash for a members car because I know I won't get ripped off ( i would hope so anyway :jk: ). But i have an Olf 95 ef falcon with heeps and heeps of KLM's on board which i want to get rid of in the proccess, and i have found it hard to see it privately.

So I will definately check out Prestige. Any other dealers? Come on guys, You are all driving around in your great skylines. You must have seen some decent cars in deals yard that you can say might be worth a second look. I won't be leaving for Sydney till early Monday morning (3.5 hr drive) so I will check back to see what you guys have said

Cheers

madcabbie: From what I understand, envy is on the borderline of going down the plug hole.

As Prank said, there are several stories about their dealings, most of which are negative and therefore wont be mentioned.

I have some friends who have bought cars from them and dealt with them for servicing etc and werent overly happy.

On the other hand, Northshore prestige gets glowing reports for their honesty and quality cars. Good prices too, so it would be worth your while to go and have a chat to them

Oh, and Just Jap at Kirrawee has a couple of nice 1996 model white GTS-T's in good condition for around $22k.

I couldn't help but notice you were looking at 33's on the Northen Beaches..

I know you wernt keen on buying privatly but I just thaught I would let you know that I've got an R33 for sale which you may be interested in, drop me a PM if you want to know more..

Apart form that I found Envy to be ok .. mind you the few times i went in there was about 3 years ago.

so things apparently have changed.

Thanks Blitz,

I was budgeting for around $19k mark with my trade. Got finance aproval for $15k

I guess I could always see if the dealers are willing to do a better deal on finance and maybe go a little higher.

theres an idea..lol

I posted this in another thread about Sydney dealers, but I suggest you stay away from most of the dealers along Paramatta Rd (there is a bunch of them.. I think the suburb is Concord). I spent some time at a number of dealers looking at cars and almost without exception they were unhelpful, rude, and in one case wouldn't even let you test drive a car until you agreed to buy it (most would just flatly refuse). :confused:

the last time i was in Sydney, just over 6 months ago, looking at imports, one dealer said sure you can test drive, Once i put down a deposite. Like I went back there again. :throwup:

I'm gonna start a business selling imports - Called NO BULLSHIT IMPORTS.

Do you reckon it will work ???

[d0p3y]

I have had the displeasure of dealing with these asshats..... And I shall never deal with them again.

They charged me a stupid amount for tasks which were either poorly completed or not completed at all;

Take for example the $83 "New Battery Install" which wasn't even a new battery, nor installed, heck it wasn't even secured. It appeared they grabbed another battery out of another car and just chucked it in there. And I litterally mean chucked. It wasnt tied down, screwed in, nothing. Just sitting there.

And then there's the "New Wheel Studs" Oh, I mean the "Hey this bolt fits, lets chuck it on" That was also awesome.

Awful and would not reccomend them.

I know your taking the piss, but being serious for a moment, I think there is definately room in the Sydney market for another straight foward, no BS importer.

[madcabbie]

Thanks for all the advice. Looks like i will be staying clear of Envy.

Thanks duncan, those at Powerplay look real nice but just outta price range.

I am thinking that since i have finance approved for $15k, I might ask Unique if they wanna finance me $20k and get me a GTR....yummmmyyyyy. Think i would rather a GTR for 25k than a gts-t for same price.

With that performance who needs mods. plus i can insure it for $850 full comprehensive......hmmmmm....even better huh

thanks again guys for all your advice.

heres hoping i be a skyline own real soon

[Duncan]

Hey I'm selling my GTST so of course I've got a bias.

But, for god sake don't buy an 89 GTR if you are on a budget. seriously. I bought a cheap 91 gtr myself and they will need a heap of money spent on them...don't forget they are 15 year old performance cars and they lead a hard life...and, they cost twice as much to fix.
