Beware! I purchased a used 4WD vehicle from Concord Car Sales (Mitsubishi Triton), paid for it $19,500 (top dollar, considering that Redbook valuation is only $12,990), because the dealer ASSURED me that he used to be a mechanic, and 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 Diesel Systems specialists (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 only 2 1/2 months ago) I contacted the dealer and provided him a copy of the report, and he basically washed his hands off it, coming up with dumbest excuses saying "it is because you didn't drive enough with it" and that "He talked with a friend of his in the USA who is a diesel mechanic and that friend said the car is fine.. (of course that friend never actually saw the car) what a joke!! He then advised me "what to say" to the mechanical insurance company, so that that they will pay more... needless to say, i refused it outright, and reported the condition of the car to the insurance company as it is. I also shared with them what he told me (needless to say - they were furious and escalated it to upper management). To cut a long story short - the insurance offered to pay some of the repair cost , but its not even 30% of what the repair would cost. Only after I applied to VCAT, the dealer started showing interest... He took the car for "inspection" and said that his "4Wd specialist" couldn't find any major issues (he didn't provide the name of that specialist, their company name or any copy of a report..) I asked him to take the car back and refund me but he refused. I am waiting for VCAT hearing now. Beware read more
Knew the jingle well, driven past it a bunch on the way to the Yarra Valley, but had never actually been to Car City before yesterday. It's big, but not overwhelmingly so. Just big enough and with a number of different dealers of second-hand cars to give you plenty of options, even if most of them do seem to be dealing in the same sort of range. With that much competition I was expecting to be annoyed at pushy salesmen hovering at every turn, but mostly they just said hi and to let them know if we needed help. (There's definitely a *type* of salesman there, seems like you see/hear the same guy impossibly popping up at every second dealer you pass!) A good place to come for some recon if thinking about getting a 'new old' car, as saves you wasting a day driving around to a whole bunch of places to see whats out there. read more

It really is like a little city...well if you imagine that each of the car sellers there is a suburb it is! We bought our current car from there and found the entire experience as good as one can expect when dealing with used car salesmen! There are plenty of dealers to choose from and it's easy enough to walk around and browse through your options. Plus there is a cafe if you need to get a drink or bite to eat while you consider your options. read more
