ani bros/sis bought their 8 frm HY CARZ??? hw was their services, trust worthy???

 

Hmm seems like many bros and sis had bought the RX8 for HY Carz. I heard $88,300 only (4AT version).

 

Hi jccm09,

yes... i got my car from HY Carz... bad service...

There are other PIs avail... choose wisely..

 

ani reconmendations???

 

Have you done your homework with all the PIs and their after sales support?

 

I read from the Straits Times Classified that some PI selling the RX8 at $81,888. Seems like COE included too.

So what's the catch here?

 

Some require you to take a near-full loan for 10 years to qualify for their $81,888. So you can imagine how much interest you'll be paying on top of the super cheap basic price they advertise. Or they will tell you that CD changer not included, fog light not included etc... so by the time you top up, woo hoo... same price or more than other PIs.

I think many bros will advise going for the more reputable PIs rather than being attracted by such low advertised price. This is a very common rouse in all industries, so there's nothing new. It works on the bargain hunter mentality... and given that a car is a big ticket purchase, I'd rather pay a slight premium using a straight forward pricing by the more reputable PIs than haggle over every item with a low advertised price dealer, get angry or worried that some things may not turn out the way I wanted. If I'm buying such as great car as the RX8, I'd want to be very happy when the car arrives. So paying a couple k more for the assurance and peace of mind is important to me.

If you still think that the $81,888 is a real bargain, see if you can get an experienced bro from this forum to go check out the deal with you. Then post your findings here...

 

I bot mine from them, damn lousy service. Promised you a lot before sale, but once sign on the dotted line, different story. Was promised a built-in 6CD changer, got a Sony RF one installed in my boot instead. WTF!!

Was so pissed wanted a refund, end up one big quarrel. Rebate come, yes, but very long after the promised date. One of the rebate cheque had my name spelled wrongly, so chase them all over again.

Avoid them at all costs!!

 

dun scare me , bro....i am going to book thru them.....mind telling me which is the lousy sale?? How come they can give you the wrong stuff ? is it not written in black and white ? thanks

 

Be a prudent buyer and safeguard your interest. The next thing you know, with all the freebies in as promised, the OMV of your car is btw 25-28k. To my knowledge, PI cars should be btw 29-33k.

However, murphys law will always kick in. Last resort will be taking up to CASE where theres a returning policy(for hire purchase) incepted couple of months back.

 

Write in BLACK and WHITE is also useless. cos they know that the proceed will be a very very lengthy one even if we complain to CASE.

The best place to buy a PI car will either be Garage R or Car Times.

 

car times quite good. had a painless process. no monkey business also all very straight forward.

 

Car time, Money to them is like not important....

Me and my friend when to see their used 5series BMW (about 15units), Audi & Volvo. All their used Cars very nice and less then 1year, but price almost new too. hehehehe

 

Yes CAR TIMES and GarageR both are not Cheap. But no monkey business..

as Car Times is ISO certify and Garage R wanted to maintain a Good and High reputation.

In Conclusion.

IF its Cheap , it may give come trouble and headache after u had signed on the paper.

But if u want trouble free, then it will never be cheap

MUST GIVE AND TAKE...

 

totally agree..........

ISO certify do NO Monkey business. But is just how they bid on CEO (4times max, 1st 2 time try their luck, to bid the lowest) and how they work on their OMV. All PI cars price is almost the same price.

HY Carz got their stock from Hua Yang (related) and all documents signed on are from Hua Yang (Also ISO certify) but checking on prices, different. HY Carz Cheaper. This is ISO - NO monkey business matter.

buying from PI is all the same, is a lot depand on price and also after sales servies.

But buying car from lady sales person is depand on what and how they wear/ dress that day... hahahahaha

I bought my RX8 from CarTimes, but secondhand, not new. Every company sure got some complaints, but it's the ratio of complaints vs satisfied customer. For me, it was straightforward and there was no trouble. Like I mentioned before, I hate to get into conflicts and I want my car purchase to be a happy process. So while it wasn't the cheapest place to buy, I felt assured that I won't get screwed on the backend or after I sign on the line. I'm just a satisfied customer, not related to them in any way.

Of course, I'm not saying they will certainly not play punk. But the chances are lower. My friend gave me a very good advice. He said in life you can have 2 of the following 3 things: cheap, good or fast.

Cheap and good = not fast
Fast and good = not cheap
Fast and cheap = not good

 

I checked with Car Times 2 weeks back and the salesman said they don't have stock for RX-8 as its quite a old model...

Any bros can recommend me reliable PIs they bought their 8 from? This my 1st time getting car....scared i get cheated. haha

 

old model? Its only launched in late 2003. And the new 6sp AT is out only this year.

Just shop around and uread more on this forum about past experiences and what to look out for.

 

That's what the salesman said to me... But he said cartimes no more 8s... How about world of wheels? Are they reliable?

hmm read a few pages already and search on 'PI' but no results shown...I deeply appreciate if any experienced bro here is kind enough to guide me in the pre-purchase process

 

pm me ur contact

 

I'm planning to get mine from Car resources this weekend. Any bros know if they're reliable? Thanks.

 

Hi Pyro
I just my 8 from CR. So far so good, except they owe me my 2nd spare retractable key.

 

Thanx for your fast reply bro! By the way, what else should I look out for when negotiating with them? Is yours a 06 model? Does it come with leather seats? If yes, did you top up for it? Does your 8 comes with back windscreen tinted? I thought only 1 set of keys is retractable and the other spare is not. Pls advice. Sorry for asking so many question as I'm a first time car buyer and I'm worried abt buying from PI.

 

FYI Hy is a sub of Huayang. dont ever go the huayang turfcity branch looking for a rx8. i had the worst service there ever! they know nothing bout the car, 99% bs. trust me, the disgruntled ex-customer...
