Sorry, I can't do it without breaking forum rules.

But I can advertise cars that I have already sold and keep advertising them for months after, even after the new owner complains I will still advertise their car for sale on ebay...

It's also amazing how low the km are on many of their cars. The Japanese auction inspectors obviously can't read the odometers before they leave Japan, because they aren't the same as when they pop up for sale at this legitimate business

and it's funny that when you ask to see the auction papers and deregistration form all they can show you is dodgy third generation photocopies

Just like all Parramatta Road car yards you need to go in with your eyes open and then there is no problem.

If you listen to the spiel and believe it to be true then you are a sucker of the highest order.

My Dad used to say....a guy walks into a car yard...

"I'm looking for a car worth $12,000" (he said 600 pounds but I have bumped it up to allow for inflation)

"Walk this way Sir! I just happen to have a car worth $12,000"...

I bought my Rover from them in 2012 with only 66,000km on it, spare and tool kit were brand new
and the car has never given me any trouble and was in very good condition. He does advertise cars after he has already sold them and he is a typical
used car salesman but I waited until the car was in Sydney so I could view it in person before leaving any money.
I would buy there again but like to see the cars in person in Sydney before putting down a deposit.

ive heard mixed feelings towards Edward lee's especially when it comes to how many k's on cars, but you can always check for yourself, and you can request to see the import paper's, also he's not the only person who can import mini's, im pretty sure he's also not the cheapest to buy from either. but being able to view cars before purchase is a must with any import dealer tbh
