Used car dealer
"Beware!! I purchased a used 4WD vehicle from Concord Car Sales, paid $19,500 for it (top dollar, considering that Redbook valuation is only $12,990), because the dealer ASSURED me that he used to be a mechanic, that he checked the car and that the car HAS NO ISSUES"
"I would not recommend even setting foot inside the Car City compound unless you have someone with you that has good experience looking at/buying used cars"
"DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE, Mine had major problems within the very first 70kms of driving it, they said the problem was going to be fixed and replaced under warranty when I went and picked it up the exact same problem happened again, engine was shuttering loosing power and making a wierd fluttering sound everytime I accelerated,, Took it back, picked it up , took it back, picked it up"
"Purchased a car from Simple Cars, not only were they pushy towards taking out warranty but they sold the car with flat tyres"
"Good range if dealers with cars for sale"
Beware!! I purchased a used 4WD vehicle from Concord Car Sales, paid $19,500 for it (top dollar, considering that Redbook valuation is only $12,990), because the dealer ASSURED me that he used to be a mechanic, that he checked the car and that the car HAS NO ISSUES. On my first trip out of the city I got stuck (but naively I said to myself, it is only a one off, the dealer said the car is fine, right?). After I got stuck with it again on my second trip, I took it to a Diesel Systems specialist (Cornell Diesel Systems) who got recommended to me by my mechanic. After 3 hours thorough inspection, they produced a detailed diagnostic report that outlined major defects, with an estimated repair cost of over $16,000! (82% from what I paid for the car less than 3 months ago! and hardly driving it) I contacted the dealer and provided him all the reports , and he basically washed his hands off it, saying "it is because you didn't drive enough with it during these 2 1/2 months.."). really?! What a joke! Only after I applied to VCAT, the dealer started showing interest... He took the car for his own "inspection" and said that his "4Wd specialist" couldn't find any major issues (even though I asked, he never provided the name of that "specialist", their company name or any report.. ) I asked him to take the car back and refund me but he refused, saying that it is an old car and repairs should be expected ( It is not that I don't expect that repairs will be needed at some point, but $16,000 repairs only 2 1/2 months after purchasing it for $20,000 ?! and this is after he said "I checked the car, I used to be a mechanic, and there are no issues..' ) I am frustrated with myself for trusting the dealer, but lesson learnt. Hopefully my experience will save you having a similar one.. I am now waiting for a VCAT hearing . Beware!!!
I would not recommend even setting foot inside the Car City compound unless you have someone with you that has good experience looking at/buying used cars. The majority of the "dealers" that rent space here are unfortunately lacking in basic customer service skills. The salesmen hover out the front of their lots and descend on you like vultures as you walk past. They are dressed in casual clothes and don't even look the part, most of them will claim they have a suitable car for you and also claim they can get you a good deal on finance. The finance part is through a company that ALSO has an office inside Car City, all the dealers appear to use them - no doubt getting some kind of referral fee. I was originally going to purchase a car from a dealer here however I changed my mind after getting advice about the unreliability of the car. I contacted the dealer and said I will evoke the contract termination clause. Instead of trying to be helpful and maybe even ask if I was interested in anything else the owner got flustered and told me not to believe the advice I had received. This same dealer also refused to allow my mechanic to inspect the car at his own workshop. At least I got part of my deposit back, legally the dealer can keep 10% if you cancel the contract, unfortunately.
DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE, Mine had major problems within the very first 70kms of driving it, they said the problem was going to be fixed and replaced under warranty when I went and picked it up the exact same problem happened again, engine was shuttering loosing power and making a wierd fluttering sound everytime I accelerated,, Took it back, picked it up , took it back, picked it up.. they never replaced or changed anything, if they did they didnt have any paper work or anything, In the end I just drove the car until that problem caused the whole car to just stop dead in peak our traffic. I've had to default on a $20,000 finance package becusse these car dealers are your classic scum bags probs buying wrecked cars from auctions and passed Ng them onto custermors, TIMS HIGHWAY CAR, I wouldn't rust any of them in there but, Please DO NOT BOTHSR WIFH THIS BUISNESS THERE YOUR CLASSIC SCUMBAG GREDDY NO MORAL CAR DEALER
Purchased a car from Simple Cars, not only were they pushy towards taking out warranty but they sold the car with flat tyres. Rear tyres were 14psi and front were 22psi, instead of the standard tyre pressure of 33psi. Two tyres were unroadworthy and the front wheel alignment was that far out that everytime you turn the vehicle, the tyres squealed on the road. Would advise anyone going to Car City to avoid Simple Cars! 6 months on... had to replace left and right tyre rods and bushes. While this was being fixed the mechanic noticed that 2 rear shockers were broken and may as well have been non existent. Had the car on the road for another month, it has now blown the rear diff. Over $5000 in repairs needed in 6 months. Mechanic has questioned how this car passed a roadworthy!
Good range if dealers with cars for sale. For the reps that approached us, all respected we were just looking, unless something jumped out. Those we engaged, seemed knowledgeable for their reasons to avoid what we were thinking and how their deal was better value (not better price). Met one older fella up under a huge undercover parking section during a smoke break. He was fairly frank about what we should look for and about being realistic with our budget. He was ace! More looked like a mechanic than a sales rep, but he was the kinda guy I'd trust in a deal. Felt like the kind of guy that would say, I could take your money but sounds like you really need to shop around for....
Do not trust Simple Cars, do not buy from simple cars all round bad experience. Bought a golf from Simple cars and have had nothing but problem after problem. I go to them asking what they can do, “not my problem you signed a waver” after walking away they relent and offer me repairs at trade prices at their mechanic Silverwings garage. I call, get told they are busy then my calls are rejected and cannot get thru, I tried calling on different days 7 attempts. So I have booked the car in at my own mechanic, this all before my first service. I am now stuck with a unroadworthy car and have had to get a hire car in order to keep my job. Thanks a bunch Toby…
TERRIBLE - bought a car from Eastern Direct Cars in this yard and in just 8 weeks the engine blew. I have lost 9k straight away. Mechanic said it was sold to me with a faulty engine. AVOID this place at all costs it is horrendous and the staff are very unprofessional. When i rang to explain the situation to them at Eastern Direct Cars, they told me to go away and sell the car privately and hung up. They spoke to me in a horrible manner. DO NOT buy a car from here especially from Eastern Direct Cars, they are cowboys that sell bad cars. They are the worst type of people I have ever done business with.
I can not speak highly enough of COAST TO COAST car sales. Eighteen months ago my husband bought a car off this dealership and it has run like a dream. We have gone back and bought a later model Mercedes and again the car is brilliant. I asked to have a dint removed from the bumper and a small scratch touched up from the door and both were done by the time I came to pick it up. The guys there were quite helpful and let me drive a number of cars before I settled on the one I did. This complex may get a bad wrap on SM but there are definitely still good sellers in there who will do you a good deal.
I recently travelled from Yarrawonga in regional Victoria to visit Car City Ringwood. Many of our family in our town had recommended many of the dealers in the complex. After being a little anxious in making the trip, I soon was at ease the moment I arrived at the complex. It had a lovely friendly, family and professional vibe to it. The vehicle we had shortlisted online at one of the yards was ready for us and waiting in prime condition. I bought the car on the spot, he gave me the best price ever and also a top price on my trade in. The transaction was so easy and relaxed.
I purchased a car from autocourte a dealer on your lot. As by law the car was ment to be transferred and ready to go. It has not been transferred and the guy is ignoring my contact attempts I am now unable to get to work or go anywhere else. This has impacted my income and caused a great deal of stress on my family especially with a newborn child. Over all terrible experience and I hope once my consumer affairs case goes through the guy will be fined substantially. Do not buy from him
Having purchased a vehicle from car city before I felt quite comfortable putting forward a proposal too a number of dealers in car city . Deals that at this time was not for me except for one that could have but I looked else were . But after looking through some very well presented vehicles with different dealers I did see.that if you are looking for a vehicle it does not matter if you are upper middle or lower class prices vary with different dealers from $5.000 to $80.000
I recently purchased a car from the Ringwood City Car Sales dealership, at Car City, and had a great experience. George and Joao provided excellent customer service, and made every effort to make sure that I was satisfied with my car purchase. The car that they sold me, was presented very well, serviced, and drove great. I would definitely recommend for a prospective car buyer, to purchase a car from George at Ringwood City Car Sales at Car City. Highly recommended A++
Do not Buy from Eastern Direct cars - they are misleading and dodgy, tricked me into thinking and verbally told me I had an extended warranty then when my car needed $2000 worth of repairs laughed at me and said extended warranty is not free ! I said you told me this car came with an extended warranty I said this is the reason I buy from car dealers so I am protected from this .... so awful the way they are so misleading and take advantage of women. DO NOT SHOP HERE
Great place to shop for a used car. Lots and lots of choices as the place is huge with thousands of cars. Everything is in the open so if it's a really hot, really cold or rainy day it can be quite uncomfortable. There is a central Café and toilets if needed. We've bought and sold several cars here and it's always worth negotiating. There are also quite a few other car dealerships around Car City where you can also look at New and used cars.
Undoubtedly THE destination for purchasing cars in Melbourne. Great range from commercials to classics and from "price-range" to prestige! The Cafe is also excellent, offering some of the best coffee I have tasted anywhere! Specifically, my experience with Ringwood Haval was outstanding. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, without applying any sort of pressure. Congratulations to Chris for building such a wonderful team!
I came home after spending the day at Car City Ringwood with a grin from ear to ear. Pure happiness. My husband was trying to encourage me to buy a new car yet I had heard so many raving reports about Car City so we went there as our first stop and ended up making a day of it. What a pleasure dealing with such genuine and educated professionals. Thank you SO much guys. We will be back next month to get our sons first car.
I would like to put forward a massive thank you to George and Jooel (sorry if it's spelt wrong). From the start of purchasing my new car to picking up the keys, your service was very professional, friendly and all my questions was never to much trouble. I fully recommend if you are after a used car new for you, when you go to car city ringwood, head directly to yard 7 you will not regret it. Thanks heaps guys.
I just bought my Toyota Corolla 2011 from Car City Ringwood. Overall it is the correct place to find a good used car with competitive price. It was very easy, quick and comfort to have the deal with with Alex at National Automotive Ringwood. He is very supportive, honest, he showed me the best used cars in the market, I will recommend Alex to everyone looking for a car. Thanks Alex!! And Good Luck for All
One of the easiest processes I’ve encountered when purchasing a 2nd hand car. A huge range of cars from a variety of dealers meant I had a lot of cars to choose from. All the staff at the different yards were extremely helpful and not pushy at all (I would have walked away if they were). Final choice was easy in the end and the staff at the yard helpful and professional.
Big shout out to George at Ringwood City car sales. Bought a car off him and the experience was second to none. Car drive great had a little issue with Air Con not working, spoke to George had the car back to him and within 3 hours car was fixed (bad relay) the communication and hospitality was great and would recommend checking him out if in need of a vehicle
Just purchased a vehicle from Daniel at Tim’s Highway Cars. Was very impressed with the service, not pushy at all! He kept the car aside for me so I could bring down my car for a valuation, paperwork completed and my new car was delivered to work this morning. 3 day turnaround.... fabulous. Would recommend Daniel and Tim’s Highway Cars to friends and family.
Went to look around for my first car and came across a car that was quite beat up. my dad mentioned it to the salesmen hanging around and he replied explaining that it was previously a girls car. As a young women, i was very offended to hear him excuse the dent just because a women owned it. Overall, overpriced cars and just an underwhelming experience
Very happy with the whole experience of getting a lovely car for a great price and although it was not brand new it only had 1 previous owner and was in perfect condition inside and out. The process was quick and the staff were so friendly highly recommend this place. Wayne at PB Motors was just the nicest guy and made me feel confident in my decision
I had the pleasure of dealing with the folks at Yard 7, Ringwood City Car Sales. If you're looking for people who will look after you and are genuinely enthusiastic about what they do, go and see George and Joao. They were both super helpful, it was a seamless process and I have ended up back on the road with a car I'm stoked with. Very happy!
We've had great experiences buying from Matt & Luke. We have bought several cars from them over the years. They know their stuff and make it really easy to buy from them. What I admire the most is that I never felt pressured to buy . I love their easy going nature. Would highly recommend buying a car from them! Thanks guys Nem
Big thanks to George in yard 7 great customer service bought my new triton from him great customer service not pushy at all, test drove the car and a great long chat, he went above and beyond to help with the purchase repairing a few things I noticed on the ute, can’t complain at all great service and great sales man, …
Simon from Car City got us exactly what we were looking for! It came with everything you could wish for when buying a second hand car. Top easy finance on the spot, free 5 year warranty and roadside assist. The complementary coffee was also much appreciated. I know where I will be going when I am on the market again for my next car!
My husband and I just bought our 3rd vehicle from Car City in Ringwood. It is always a positive experience. The sales staff are easy going, no hassle, they even shopped around to get us the best deal on finance which was on the one site. We highly recommend Car City to our friends and family and will be lifelong loyal customers.
I recently took my best friend to pick up her new Dodge from Dan Evans Motors @Car City. Excellent sevice, really impressed with how easy they made everything. Nothing was an issues, Ben was just amazing!! Need a new car, without any fuss, call Ben he will make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Amazing service!!
It was a pretty straight forward deal with Alex at National Automotive Ringwood. He put forward my best interest which was important to me after listening carefully to what I needed. I am happy overall with them considering fair price, warranty, etc. that came with car. I will recommend Alex to everyone looking for a car.
Brad and Harley from The Auto Factory yard at Car City in Ringwood were amazing. They provided a very contemporary & professional approach, whilst also researching the best possible price on the car I was after. I felt like I was handled in a ‘New Car’ buying manner. They go far and beyond. Thanks heaps to Car City.
I just bought a 2013 Ford Ute from Car City in Ringwood today. What a great group of guys. I didn’t feel pressured, minimal ‘uptalking’ the car, worked with my budget, good text communication. I would like to see a little more attention with the cleanliness of the bathrooms, however all in all the place was great!
I am very satisfied with the service I received from your team at Car City in Ringwood. It was very professional and my trade in price was higher than I expected. I LOVE my new car and have told all my friends about Car City. It is the one shop stop. I even enjoyed lunch at the café which was great value.
Great dealings with Dan Evans Motors at Car City. The communication from Ben was great from the start to the end of the transaction. I couldn’t fault the service at all. And they even made my mum a cup of coffee when it turned out the cafe closed early the day we were there. Very happy with my new car.
DO NOT RECCOMEND. Has dealers selling cars without a license to do so! Have been advised by Vicroads to take them to court for fraud. Car still wasn’t transferred into our name 8 weeks after purchase!!!! Car had a dodgy RWC and they tried to get away with not doing the service that was on the contact.
I want to start by saying that over the last 8 years since I purchased my car I have received first class service from both Car City as a whole and John Fautley Motors. I have recommended my family members to John and they have all been very happy with his customer service and competitive prices.
We recently had a deal with them here. Alex was helpful, friendly and fair at National Automotive in Car City Ringwood and expert in what he does. He was a good listener and made a great suggestion which helped us making our final decision. We will definitely come back and highly recommend Alex.
I was very happy with Anthony helping me out every step of the way, even during Covid-19 he answered every question with out hesitation and made sure the car was fine. As a result I’m driving a car I’m extremely happy with. Through my experience I’d recommend buying a car from these guys.
The entire staff at Car City Ringwood are the most friendly and professional group of people that I have ever dealt with over the years when purchasing a car. The after sales follow up was also very impressive. I would recommend anyone wishing to buy a used car to visit Car City.
Just went to have a look to maybe upgrade my car. Lots of cars.All brands and price rangers. Something for everyone. Test drove a Subaru outback at Southern star motors.Roy was very good.Didn't try anything else.All the other sales people seemed very friendly. Worth the trip.
Recently bought a 2012 Mitsubishi Triton from Dan Evans Motors and I’m very happy with the purchase, vehicle ran well and was smooth during the test drive. Staff was friendly and helped us through the paperwork with ease. Would recommend these guys if you happen to drop by.
Went without a thought what I wanted as the old banger was on its last legs, saw a few nice autos at a great price, saw the nissan GT and after a test drive, mine, no hassle, cash paid with a full 5 yr mechanical/service warranty included. Great bargains huge choices.
It's a little smaller than I was especting but the range of cars is good and dealerships are all competing with one another. The website is regularly updated which is essential when you want to find out if a dealership has the car you're after before coming down.
Dodgy dealer. Purchased car in January. Dealer hadn't transferred rego into my name and hadnt paid the registration. Did not know until I was stopped by police in August for driving an unregistered car. $900 fine. Car City wasn't taking any responsibility.
Cheap cars but beware... opt for cars with statutory warranty, if not available then get the car inspected by a mechanic before buying. Additional warranty is just a scam, most of the time it covers up to $1000 per year on the drivetrain only.
My fuel pump went in the first week after buying the Volkswagen Tiguan. The warranty they sold me was dodgy, the car after being repaired is actually really good value (because of price drops due to COVID) but I paid a certain price for the
Mr Haynes you sold a lemon of a car to a lady just before you closed your car yard at the Ringwood Car City. 57 days later the car is undrivable. Aus Consumer Law calls this a 'major failure' and she is entitled to have her money returned
Just got my third car from Car City in Ringwood and had a good experience. Thank you, Paul, for making the shopping process so much fun! Loved the complementary coffee not to mention the food on offer at the café on site. Over the years I
THANK YOU!!! I never imagined a team of ‘Used Car Dealers’ to be so professional, non-pressuring and relaxed. Look no further than majority of the car dealers at Car City in Ringwood. We got a winning deal as well as a top trade in price
Daniel from Tim’s Highway Cars was great to work with and he was very helpful and patient in working with us to make sure we got the right for us that fit within our budget. Daniel was very friendly and honest with his opinions, and was
Living a few hours from here, I had to fully trust the person I was going to deal with for a car I’d never seen, which I know better. I got the best customer service, dealing with one person the whole process making sure everything was
What a collection of liars. Everything you'd expect of a used car sales, but you know.... a whole bunch of em. 1 or 2 of them were kind of reasonable. Spent a lot of time, didn't find anything I wanted to risk my money on. Got sunburnt.
Absolutely disgraceful service. My son bought a car from Gino and has had nothing but trouble. It's been to several mechanics who all state there is an issue. Gino pretends to care when all he is doing is trying to worm his way out of
Fair price for my trade. Drove new car home that same day. I met lots of nice people. Everyone was very helpful. HUGE selection on the one site for various used cars. Will definitely return for any future needs. Thank you so much.
Highly recommend Yard 7 George and Joao are the wonderful gentlemen who looked after myself and my partner extremely well during the purchase of our beautiful BMW . We look forward to doing some more business in the near future.
Car city gave a great experience and the New Car Manager at Ringwood GWM Haval, Daniel, got me into a brilliant car with exceptional customer service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for their next new or used car.
Hearing car city gives me nausea If they know that they are selling a dodgy car how do you sleep at night? You could be ripping a struggling person off ,someone who is sick or has children. That need reliable transport.
All the separate yards I visited were very friendly and helpful. No pushy sales people but eager to help. I ended up buying a car from a really nice guy Brad Payne from Oakridge car yard. Well looked after.
Since we weren’t going to buy the car we liked best today we weren’t allowed to test drive it (why would you purchase a car before you’ve had the chance to drive it). Overpriced anyway and not much variety.
Bought a nice Falcon from the boys at Fuelled Up Garage in Car City. Great service and they are going to maintain it in their workshop. They are also looking after my 4x4 now too. Very happy customer.
Businesses in business. Huge selection of vehicles. If you are serious to buy a used car you will find one for sure. They even have a canteen inside cause you are going to spend a lot of time there.
Bought my car from here after looking around for weeks, recomend car city highly, if you go see the boys at Oakridge Automotive Brad and Chris will look after you great cars and great people
Just purchased a car here from madol here at simple cars he was really great to work with very kind and oficent very happy with the outcome thanks very much for your help with the purchase
Doesn't have the range it used to. A lot of low to low mid range cars and is quickly becoming irrelevant. I don't think the range of cars suit the clientele in the area anymore.
Andy was super helpful & easy to deal with, an asset to Simple Cars, refreshing friendly attitude happy to answer all questions/concerns without hesitation......look after him!
Brace for it, because this is somewhat hilarious (if it didn't case me a waste of money/time). Bought a second-hand car from a dealership in February. The actual dealer,
Purchased a Subaru from Adam and Kurtis at Fuelled Up Garage From the first contact they have been extremely professional and made the car buying experience very smooth
Great place to car shop, so many dealers and a huge variety of used cars, the guy we dealt with was lovely, not your normal pushy salesman, nothing was a problem for him
Easy to find a car space. Signed well if you are looking for a particular dealership. Lots of cars to look at. All staff I spoke to were friendly and helpful. …
Every salesman judged me for being a 18 yr old girl looking for my first car on a budget. I could clearly see and hear them talking behind my back about my budget.
Every time I came here they always hazzle me when i trying to look for a car they don't leave me alone. I don't trust them or any car dealer in car city stay away
Hack jobs to the ultimate, especially the detailing shop, if you like dodgy repairs and shady salesman, like Sean and Anthony, this is the place to go.
Sold my car and bought a new one with Mark and Richard at Car Sales Express. Highly recommend. Both gentlemen were very helpful and knowledgeable.
Big variety of cars. Sales people are friendly and keen on letting you sit in to feel cars even if you have no intentions to purchase any yet.
The salesman was very friendly, professional and most helpful. I highly recommend Car City Ringwood to anyone seeking both value and quality.
Andy helped me, and he didn't pressure me at all, he kept me up to date when waiting for the payment to go through as well as the roadworthy
Took in a car to RAP Auto sales a few years back, the bloke gave us a really good price and overall was a very nice guy! Highly Recommend
Richard and Mark were so helpful when purchasing my first car!! He helped with every question and concern we had. Highly recommend
Was a very pleasant experience with both sales reps Madol & Andrew, both boys had great smiles and great work ethic.
No one came up to see if assistance was required. No decent cars under $5,000 with rwc
Outstanding service, these guys bent over backwards to help. Thanks George
I kept my eyes open for a bargain and got pink eye. Would recommend
Was good service was good Manager new what he was talking about
Vit of haggling but got the car we wanted at a great price!
Over priced for 2nd hand cars, try private or market place
Plenty of cars to look at l just went to stretch my legs
Over priced with high km better off buying privately!
best service so lovely very happy
