    Test-Drive Your Car Salesman- Stillwell North Adelaide



    I felt afraid that I would be cheated, ripped off, pressured, hoodwinked,
    swindled, jacked around, suckered or fleeced. But car sales, like any other
    business, are about maximizing profits. Once they (Stillwell North Adelaide)
    got my deposit and instantly I was at their mercy. They dictated and changes
    times of delivery of the car amongst many other things. They never told me
    during that time that the car was coming from interstate. Only days after
    taking my money they then told me that the car is coming from interstate. I
    was told it will take a week or no later than two. Lie 1

    They rang me twice to say the car is still on the way. I at that time I was
    unhappy and told the sales man I was upset about this. After those phones I
    was the one left to ring back to check delivery of the car. 7 calls in total
    only to be told that the car will be here finally on Monday after over two
    weeks. The salesman said on Tuesday that will rush the car (yes RUSH the
    car) into getting ready. That includes the entire car pack, paint
    protection, tinting, leather interior and the rest. Yes all in a less than a
    day. I was the one who shocked over this and said you have to be joking
    there is no way it can be done in one day for Wednesday delivery. I said
    give it to me on Thursday or no later than Friday. I did say to the sales
    man if the car is NOT ready then we will not go ahead with purchasing of the
    car. At this point I also made a point to say RING me and tell me when you
    want the money to transfered so it can be cleared. This NEVER happen.

    I had to ring over 4 times to finally speak to the GM of the car yard. Hey!
    Should they not be the ones running after my money? Anyway finally the money
    was transferred on Wednesday and no money showed in their NAB bank account
    till Friday still. Funny part it left my account and I was already paying
    interest. Wonder how the NAB makes money?



    After many phone calls to and from Stillwell North Adelaide (GM) rang me on
    Friday and told me that the money was not in the account despite all the
    evidence that I supplied it has been transferred. Then he says the car is
    ready without the additional items. So what PART of the English language did
    they not understand that if the car is not ready by Friday then the deal is
    off? He (typical sales man) dud! what me stupid attitude said he never knew
    of this part of the agreement. That I should have told him two days ago that
    was the agreement between me and them. He would have then tried to have the
    car ready by Friday with the extras. Does require an IQ test? What is the
    matter with him does he think buyers are stupid. if he got his car on
    Thursday /Friday how would he have the car ready with all the extras in the
    first place. Lie 2. He also accused me of been difficult person and getting
    out of a so call contract. Of course he did his best to put the blame on me.
    Well done (Stillwell North Adelaide) trained well but wrong again as the GM
    he slipped by saying they just got the car a few hours ago. Oh my god why am
    I not shocked with this people anymore. YES they LIE again from receiving
    the car on Monday then to Tuesday and then to Friday.



    So there you are. I have lost days/weeks of interest on my money and have
    nothing to show for. Oh! also you must be wondering why don't I ask my
    lawyer to knock this criminals on the head, well I am stupid as I never got
    or chased for a receipt on my deposit and never signed any paper work or so
    call contract. Stillwell North Adelaide people are good in doing this by the
    looks of it. Experience shows here. Now who is the dump one here? Hey. no
    prizes here but once again I win and lose in this game of purchasing a car
    from Stillwell North Adelaide. Looks like a great dealership well run with
    stupid customers like me waiting to get cheated.

    No guilt from their part Stillwell North Adelaide let their customer bleed
    and then step on them rubbing their nose down into the ground.

    Oh if you are thinking of writing to Hyundai directly from their web site.
    DON'T. They do not reply to any emails. I wrote to them twice without an
    answer on some advice I was seeking over this issue and other issues in the
    past. Well done now I know where the Stillwell North Adelaide gets their
    training from.



    Buyers I suggest you do not deal with Stillwell North Adelaide check the
    list below first.



    1.. NEVER give them ANY deposit and if you do, ask Stillwell North
    Adelaide for all receipts and have something written down in black white.
    2.. Either get in writing or walk away.
    3.. Don't bother writing to Hyundai as they NEVER reply from their web
    site.
    4.. Do not bother to ring Hyundai directly on STD because they do not have
    a toll free number in Australia. Yup you will end up paying STD rates and
    kept on hold for ten minutes.
    5.. When servicing your car be very care full. Get everything in writing
    before you hand your keys over. Ask what they will be doing first as you
    will be very surprise that their first service is merely that, free and
    doing very little by making you wait for the whole day.
    6.. On your other service times, mark and take note of areas in your car
    as they will claim to have do work on it. And charge you for it of course.
    Yes once again you will be very surprise again.




    Overall the Hyundai car is good and let me not bag it. But not all
    dealership sales people are all that flash example - Stillwell North
    Adelaide. Be very careful DO NOT purchase any cars from Adelaide: Stillwell
    North Adelaide 26 Main North Road, Adelaide if possible.

    Please write to my email and I will tell you more. Word or mouth ... use it
    or be a victim.

    Well thank you all so far for the comments and straight words that I
    deserve. I know I need a medal for been so stupid and that crazy to be
    sucked in by this type of conmen. Everyone should vote me to be just that
    Stupid as stupid. As a medal maybe all of you should get me a airline ticket
    and sent me to IRAQ for a short holiday and see if I get lucky there LOL.

    Well I suppose you are right, how do I feel. Well I feel cheated, raped,
    screwed and then turned upside down and screwed again and then left out in
    the cold waiting for it to happen all over again.
    Most auto dealers do this in their free time. In my case Hyundai Stillwell
    North Adelaide seem to do this in a professional way. It seem natural and
    standard practice for them to do this and it did not hurt.... THEM.

    Thank you everyone,
    Gosh I am surprise that many out there care about a total stranger. You
    understand why my heart bleeds over the issues and I am surely touched. Keep
    the
    replies coming.
    I now have 3 people officially who are looking else where for their cars and
    not from Stillwell Hyundai Adelaide. I like to thank them for supporting me
    and helping to make my point that customers do have rights you know.
