hahaha yes his name is Cyril Hondris and bores you with 25 years worth of war stories on how to rip off myer clothes salesmen and haggling down butter at coles or some shit.

Let's just say, I walked into SOP with a blank cheque to buy 2 x STi's. Was told to just sign up, no one makes offers, no one does deals. Told them to jam that. Then was told to make an offer. Did that, paperwork put infront of me to purchase a vehicles (not put an offer in) for full RRP. Told them no, I want a good price for buying two before I sign up to buy anything. Again told nothing can be done. Found it hard to even get a test drive. Guy didn't even know what DCCD was.

Went to Mitsubishi and bought 2 Evo X's straight up. Was given a better price to start negotiations on straight away. Happy to organise test drives etc.

So when I see a dealership wanting this 'put an offer in on paper' stuff before they will even talk that a price figure may or may not be suitable... It makes me wonder what they are trying to achieve.

Anyway... enough off topic... Go buy golf ball cars now!

i ended up talking to stuart and got a car lined at a price i was prepared to pay.

if people were serious, they would go down, have a look, and put a reasonable offer on a car.

worst they can say is no, and your no worse off.

standing back and armchair'ing a sale through the internet is usually the last way to snag a bargin, use ebay instead!

Yes, takes his 3 suits into Myer which he bought elsewhere and asks for alterations because there is a sign on the wall saying FREE ALTERATIONS.
Even though he gives you the answers as you go through the course he actually failed me the first time because I questioned his morals (lack of) in class, I think I was the first to fail in 3yrs, I missed by half a point & it was quite funny watching his face when I demanded to see the marked paper & the way he had marked it lol.

Did he tell you how his wife is embarrassed to go shopping because he is the king of haggling after owning Northside Nissan and Holden for many years?

Or did he give you all the: if you get a call by 5pm friday you have failed, if you don't hear from us, you passed, just to head nick you that little bit more?

CYRIL

I have recently done my sales course with Cyril and he is the best,
turns what could be a realy boring course into something very interesting.!

Also the story goes he walked into Myer Due to them having Suits on special,
tryed to get stuff thrown in they wouldn't so ended up getting a free tie or sumthing.
Went to the till to pay went to use credit card And then said "So do you do dicount fo cash?"
The bloke just looked at him and said this is myer.!
And then he carryed on with his have you ever bought a car spleal,
And gave him a card.

Then saw the FREE ALTERATION"S SIGN.!
And told them he would be back shortly came back with all his 3 suits that needed alteration's.
Let's just say the sign was removed shortly after.

End soz for the story book.

If you dont like what is being offered. Don't go or buy.
If you want a bitch, go down, have a look, and talk to them about the car or deal first before bitching about it.

That's the 3rd variation I have heard of the Cyrhil Hondris Myer story now.

From thewest.com.au:

http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-...sales-warning/

"WA's Consumer Protection Commissioner says consumers should think twice before buying a hail damaged car in so-called "hail sales" which have begun around Perth.
Anne Driscoll today warned prospective buyers to check whether the car they were purchasing had not been placed on the Written Off Vehicle Register, which automatically de-registers it for driving.

"A licensed car classified as a repairable write-off will be listed on the Written Off Vehicle Register – this can be checked by calling 1300 30 40 24," she said.

Up to 40,000 cars are expected to be written off by insurance companies after the freak March 22 hail storm.

"An unlicensed car will need to undergo a full repairable written off vehicle examination at an approved inspection centre prior to being licensed," she said.

"In that instance the car would need to be repaired to a roadworthy standard. Make sure the cost of fixing the car does not outweigh the discount on the price.

"Be aware that statutory write offs may never be registered in WA again – they will have a red and white warning sticker and are only suitable for parts or dismantling."

Ms Driscoll said car dealers had an obligation to outline the full extent of damage to a vehicle.

"But once a consumer makes a decision to buy it, they accept the associated problems such as the cost of repairs and a lower resale value," she said.

"In the case of a new car hailed on in the dealer's yard, consumers should check the status of the manufacturer's warranty. If in doubt they should consider getting independent legal advice."
