Most decent import dealers offer a warranty, turn up with cash and you will find that they will drop the price. Try AJM Motorsport on Main St, Kangaroo Point, they are gave me a good deal.

Yeah I bought my Stagea through AJM and they have a good selection of cars there.

But if you are going to come down to look, there are about 4 dealers in Slacks Creek area and about 4 or 5 dealers scattered along Logan Road, on the southside, (these are just guesses).

Whichever dealer you do go through, be prepared to pay more than a private car, but expect a warrantee.

Know what type of car, in what state and your price range and stick to it, and try to push dealers as far as they can go on the price.

Good Luck!

Rite Price are actually one of my clients, but I wouldn't buy from Richard... more like the Wrong Price.

I headed down to Springwood to get mine - ended up over at Motorman Imports where Derek did me a pretty good deal and went out of his way to find exactly what I was after. Looking back, I probably could have got mine a little cheaper, but I was young and dumb and rushed into it a bit...

well, i bought my car from street machines and they were awesome

i paid more than other examples i looked at, coz it was a nicer car

got an inspection done, street machines were quite happy to fix all the (minor) problems found with the car

had it over 3 years and it hasnt missed a beat

id have no dramas recommending others to buy a car there

I would have to say stay away from rite price cause they are way to over priced but they do have some nice cars. I went to get mine from there and they didnt get bak to me so I kept goin bak pushin and pushin with the $$$ ready to go and they wouldnt come down 2k with a trade.

Go to Auto import centre in springwood, they were excellent, always kept me in the loop nothin was to much trouble, my only complaint is that mine wasnt complianced at the time and it took a month to actually have the keys in my hand rather then the promised 2 weeks, but it wasnt their fault it was the compliance people. They were very neg on their prices and they fixed paint damages got parts fixed etc at my request. they even gave me a good price for my trade and also gave me two movie tickets (doesnt sound like much but it all adds up).

AJM is also good and have a reasonable range but if ur tradin make sure the car is spotless cause they pick it to pieces and give u nuthin for it, but they have some really nice cars and they do track you down something if they dont have what you want, but be prepared to pay a little extra.

I have a mate that knows a guy based in forest glenn on da coast who imports car and sells them off (apperantly a hobby) anyway my mate got a soarer from him for dirt cheap not mad nick either. PM me if you would like me to look into this guy I personally never saw his cars but I heard he does good prices

AJM fcuked us over hardcore. They lied to us right from word go & I am NOT afraid to say it.

The guys at Street Machines are a little up themselves and they are FAR too overpriced.

Auto Shop at Moorooka is aiit. They are fairly helpful.

In all seriousness though, it's just easier with an importer. I mean, you can't walk in and walk out with a car that same day, but you get WHAT you want for the pice you want to pay. We went through SVi. <------- Check it out, FREE BUSINESS PLUG! :OSVi

Yeah, Autoshop is pretty good and they would get u a pretty decent car.

Also, im currently buying a car from japan through SVi the guys there r very helpful as well. havent had any dramas so far.

About AJM, bought a car off them b4 as well and did NOT have any problems for the whole year till i sold it. a bit over-priced as usual so i lost some money on it. but at least it had no dramas.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
