Babs thanks for your interests, I get the fealling you have experience in the car trade somehow.I dont want to waste yor time just yet as I think Ive got everything coverd but I think I better tell the full story for everyone.I had my choice down to 3 cars. 2 were 2003 models about 40,000km still under new car warranty, got the prices down to around $38000 after long dealings and a lot of bla bla bla with salesman both had good books. The third was an ex-rental same km but had dodgy books that could void new car warranty. Stoped at a major nissan dealer in s.a to
check out about the dodgy books and warranty.
Well thats when they showed me this car that they just bought in from n.s.w. It hadnt been detailed yet so I got to see it as is, I found the auction note in glove box stating no service books. Told salesman the car was to old 2000 and to many km 85000km but asked the price they didnt know, so I told them what I wanted on car with a 50000km nissan warranty 2 year. eventally they came up with a price $40,000.
I said to much for the car thats hasnt got a servicelog books, this car has done off road work and could be hammerd.( I worked out the car had $13000 worth of extras.)
Anyway salesman got manager (dealer owners son) . He guaranteed the the log books were on there way and would be in the next few days. took the car
home for 2 days seemed ok I also was promised it would go through nissan workshop inspection. had all put in writing.
Two weeks later yard rang to pick car up I faxed a copy of contract to make sure everything was there -everythings ready come down- get there no books or copy of mech report. I didnt pay until I had it in writting again will rewcieve log books for the car.
After 3months of ringing and having the salesman and manager all say they dont know about the books but have been told they will be here at the end of week I take out a court order 2 weeks later I get a new set of books with 1 1000km service shown. there court defence said i agreed to new books with a couple of
services in them. theres still a lot more lieing but this is taking to long . they just never had the books the funny thing is the manager said he wouldnt touch a car with dodgy books.
look thanks heaps but I think it might be better if I dont know which lake its been in?
ill just try to teach the car yard a lesson after im finished with this ill say the name of the yard.
thanks heaps again and will keep you informed
