Default kelly motor co

Just wondering if anyone here has bought a car from this car yard in Brisbane?
Currently they are on old cleveland road coorparoo.
Just after any ideas on how dodgy they are (yes I know they are dodgy, just how bad are they though? lol )

They've been around for years, used to be near the hospital at herston.

Are they dodgy? No more so than any other secondhand car dealer. Are their buckets of crap cars dodgy? Yep. Usually sold with no rego and roadworthy and unknown mechanical history. You'd really have to be down on your luck to consider one of their bangers, when a decent roadworthy AU is only 3 or 4k.

There are many car yards over the years ive known that are dodgy as all hell
But usually IF you know what your looking at,know your prices,can get independant vehicle inspections ,thats a start
I never ever beleive any card yard dribble that every car they sell has a legit road worthy,so i always get any car yard car inspected
That said my neighbour paid 40 odd grand for a 2nd hand hilux and has no end of trouble with it, doesnt mean the yard is dodgy

I remember them from Herston.
I honestly wouldn't trust buying from them.
