Thread: Vehicle inspection, non LR, Sydney?

Hi Justin, sorry i am buisy in the next week so i cannot check it for you. What has got me worried though, as the name of the company is sydney city prestige. Although i have never heard of them, it sounds like a combination of 4wd city sydney and Wakim prestige (who i think have a shop in artarmon aswell). Both these companys are also owned by Wakim motors and 3wj and i assume you know the stories from here.

There is a place on the net that you can pay for a wovr certificate, which includes all states of australia, as sometimes a car can be smashed in perth and brought over to sydney, not on the written off register (i know of several first hand cases).

Another thing to do over the phone is to find out from the log book where it was first sold (if it was perth......) and if it has ever been out of rego (the plates are not a recent issue, so this seems ok). Mabe even fax/email a copy of the service pages in the logbook to see for gaps or long periods with very low kms.

Hope this helps, I Like that model but i prefer the 7 series. Andy

ps do lexus steering wheels normally wear out after 77000kms?

if its has anything to do with 4wd city sydney which I think is on the HUme recently moved down to a different spot......I wouldn't go there

4wd city now called SUV sales on hume hwy at cabramatta/lansvale they have a landrover that has been talked about on another thread.

I went to buy a landrover from them once....say no more

Where there's smoke there's fire. Proceeding here may not be worth the potential aggro.

Hmmm, my first suspicions were that I needed to get another opinion, and now I think you all are pretty on the money. Apparently it was sold to 'their' panel beater/ body works, who then sold it back to them and there is NO service history OR logbooks...Maybe I'll keep looking then.

Pity, I have been looking for a LS430 for a while to change out the '400,as it is 20 years old next year.

Thanks everyone
