Purchased a car from them a couple of years ago. I recently subscribed to Yelp so posting my feedback now. (please note that as far as I know the sales rep & sales manager involved are still working for SCT.)
The purchase process was fine. the rep was very helpful and accommodating. Like some car salesmen, he just said what he needed to, to get the sale, but clearly didn't intend on acting on any of his promises.
It wasn't till after i bought the car that I realised that a lot of the stuff we agreed to in person were not included in the contract and the rep refused to honor the verbal agreement. then denied making any promises.
My fault, I admit, for not checking the contract in more detail, but as there were nearly a dozen or so forms to fill, I was relying on the rep's integrity to stick to all that we discussed & agreed to.
The transfer of ownership took months to be actioned (it was one of the conditions I had, that they do the paperwork required) even though I included the cost of transfer in the negotiated price.
The renewal of the registration, again agreed to be paid by the dealer (was expiring within 2 weeks of the purchase) was also not done. and they refused to do it after the purchase.
I had explained to the sales guy that it was my first car purchase in Australia, coming from overseas, and that I was happy to pay for whatever was needed, but that I didn't want to do the paperwork myself as I had been warned by friends that it is tedious and complicated (if you have ever dealt with the RTA, you will know what I mean). he agreed and there were a number of additions to the cost of the car as a result. Additions included warranties, transfer, rego renewal and a couple of other minor additions to the car itself.
I never needed the warranty so I'm not sure how it would have gone if I did, but the other requirement were not met.
Many complaints later, the rep denied everything and the sales manager's response was "it's your word against the sales rep, I choose to believe the sales rep" even though there was evidence to the contrary.
Beware of this dealer, and if you do buy from them, make sure anything they say gets included in the purchase agreement. Personally I would never go there again. read more
