Anyone know someone who has brought from this crew?
Is there a catch, ok some of the cars have highish k's but they seem damn cheap to me. For example, this would be a ripper if it was a manual: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/BARGAIN-2002-...3A1|240%3A1318 Have a look at the other items, all the prices seem very good.

I don't know about this specific guy but some dealers are selling online and ebay etc because they don't have to offer the same warranties and conditions etc so as per normal go and look in person and test drive.

The very high kms is why they're cheap. A Saab that's done over 200,000 kms is no bargain, whatever the price. You be buying a lot of trouble. |

How do you "Wholesale" a 2nd hand car? Where is the middle man between a Used car dealer and the person who owned the car previously?

NEVER recommend saab to anyone " -the old 900's went forever,and once you got used to their wierd ideas were actually very easy to work on. That said I would also never recommend one too!

for that price i'd get a low km ef or el fairmont ghia..full options.. cheaper to fix when things go wrong.. also australian made..meaning they won't hump your leg when you need parts.. easier to sell down the track also.
and better looking car.. we got ours for 9k... full electrics including sunroof..leather interior..bla bla.. it only had 68000km's on the clock. i have it insured with nrma for 11500. thats my 20 cents worth.. cheers. |

The 94.6% feedback says a bit. I dont deal with anyone under 96/7%. There is a dealer/wholesaler/auction house in Sydney that does the same as that lot. Cheaper cars many times but many times they are the hard to push ones like the SAABs,Renaults, peugots, Alfas Citroens etc. Probably cheap to buy but when they come to parts HOOOOOOOOOOWWIIII. Lots of kay's too better than 30k a year and no rego.
