A year ago i bought three car from Japan Auto Direct and all 3 were lemon...
First car was a Mercedes Benz 1992 500 sl... The car was suppose to have 28 000 miles...
But the first few mechanics that took a look at it were positive that this car had 100 000 miles over...? The odometer have been rollback. (on the 2 other car too).. On this 500 sl i had to replace... Exhaust (400$)... Light assembly (600$)... Transmission (6000$)... Brake pads (250$)... Roof struts (800$)... And on top a new paint for the multiple dent and scratch (4500$)... And few more things that i forgot...
TOTAL:.. 12 550$ (repair) plus initial price of the car 12 000$cdn...=24 550$
Blue book value: 10 000$ US
Second car was a Porsche 911 1990 wide body kit... Same problem with the odometer...
This was the worst story and sad of all... This Porsche came with a burn engine...
One of the oil cooling hose was fix with a piece of Doc Tape... When they drove it to the boat (to Vancouver) the cooling hose burst and the engine too... I was so sad could'nt believe it... This one i paid 22 000$.. And it need it a new engine
(15 000$ install)... Light assembly (1200$)... New suspension (front and back 2000$)... New interior electrical wiring (nothing working... Windows. Seat. Etc. 1000$)... Trim and paint (4000$)... And many more i swear...
TOTAL:.. 23 200 (repair) plus initial price of the car 22 000$cdn...=45 200$
Blue book value..: 16 000$ US (if in excellent condition...)
Oh my god... I should had bought one in Canada... And maybe it would had been a 2006!
I wont lose your time for the third one... The story is the same... The car was a Mercedes Benz 600 sel v12 1991... To make it short... I only spend 4000$ (part and repair) on this car but still to much...
TOTAL:.. 4000 (repair) plus initial price of the car 7000$cdn...: 11 000$
I call many times to Japan Auto Direct and they never wanted to help me...
I am really desperate... I lost so much money...
And they told me there was nothing wrong with the car when i bought them...
If you want my advice... Never buy from Japan Auto Direct they rip you off..!!
If you got any question i would be more then happy to help you...
You can call me at.
If you go thru and buy from Auto Direct... Just Take care of Dane Gillett (sales) and Anton Cavka (owner)... They will lie in your face just to sell something...
Believe me... My bank account agreed that without doubt...
