WHich car dealer

[bluefox]

Hey All,

Does anyone know much about, or had any experience with TED TRACEY's cars???? JUst wondering if anyone knows wheher these guys are steer clear of material or they are ok to deal wth.

[KiwiTT]

Being around a while. They have a name to protect, I would assume.

Yeah, they've been around for a while. The salespeople seem helpfull enough too.

An importer friend of mine told me that Ted Tracey sell their cars pretty cheap, because they import them in for even cheaper from Japan.

[bluefox]

Yeah they seem to be selling their cars for around 2-3 grand cheaper than anywhere else around the place so just wondering whether they are cheaper cos they are sharks or what....... But if nobody has really heard anything bad about them then I guess they are as OK as car dealers can be.

Ted Tracey does not have a good reputation for after sales service and his cars are reputed to be cheap cos they're rough, often after crash repair. A number of people I know have had problems getting satisfaction from him.
Cheap and nasty seems to be the verdict.
I have chkd his stuff out a number of times and he gets a good range and what appears to be some nice cars but normally high kms and I am not sure whether I would trust some of the odo's but that is unsubstantiated. I always find a lot of overspray on his stuff so check body work carefully.

Xeroid: I'll keep that in mind

[bluefox]

Cheers Xeriod, thought that might have been the case...............

[Kyoshu]

Damn, that sounds dodgy. The things people do to make a buck.

Ted tracey does seem to import higher km cars, and seems to be cheaper but does not budge on price, so a $15,000 on his lot would compare to a $17,000-$18,000 car on another lot. I cant say i've heard anything particularly bad about them except their cars can be pretty rough. And my old flat mate thaught their sales people could have been more helpful.
