oh and watch that named dealer too, they will do shonky stuff.
They once tried to sell me a VX Supercharged S pack. Problem was the car never existed.
They told me about it, it was "at the workshop for inspection". I offered to travel out to the Burwood workshop to inspect it and got told no.
I paid a $100 deposit on a Saturday afternoon, not their $250, to "secure" the car.
They rang me, telling me "on Sunday morning, someone else had paid cash at another AFS dealership and bought the car" I had finance ready to go, just give me the bank account details and it wouldve gone in instantly.
Anyway they tried to upgrade me to a VY SS, bearing in mind I only had X amount to spend.
I demanded my money back, they told me too bad - read the contract.
Only issue was I had modified the standard contract, and the salesman had signed and agreed to the changes. The changes were that I was paying "$100 cash deposit pending an inspection of the vehicle which included a test drive and 3rd party inspection in the workshop of a local named mechanic" and that the deposit would "be refunded in full in cash if the vehicle did not meet my expectations or failed the test drive and/or 3rd party inspection".
We argued, he got cocky, but agreed it was a legally binding document and had to cough up $100 out of his own wallet to make me go away.
While this was happening, a P plater had signed a contract for an XR8. I heard him say on the phone while in tears "I dont know how I'll afford it, its going to cost me almost all of my pay. Yes I know if Im sick I dont get paid. I dont know how I would afford it then"
Now that was the damage done by what was a "standard contract" so imagine what else goes on in that place.
