Anyone had any dealings with them, I am interested in a motor they have but just wanted some feedback on them.

Marc

 

Overpriced by a long way but better quality stock than another importer from around the Calders area

PS IMHO of course although a bit of research (ie. visit both ) will reveal this to be fact

Been down there a couple of times and they seem to know very little about the motors they're selling. ie no service history, documents etc.
Seem pretty pricey as well, but it's been a while since I was down there, and they may be very negotiable !
What motor you looking at ??

 

Would agree with that

 

Have been there a few times in the past.
The guy seemed very happy for me to nose around, and have a test drive if i wanted.
Cars seem to be well presented, although some of the older stock had gathered lots of dust..
And, as above, they dont seem to have the overall knowledge on the vehicles.

Although, that was a while ago when i was last there. So not really in a proper position to warn you off..or tell you to buy.

 

Bought off him a couple of years ago (paid over the odds, but hey...thats when I wiz a bit flush),his(the main man) attitude is Rank along with his after sales, but like above ,his cars are tops. Went to see him a couple of months ago and he hasn't changed......Say what ye like about Calders but Ive had 2 fi them wi no hassles ,and they are a lot more of a pleasure to deal with.


Remember JVS.............................

 

I"ve bought from Mackay's.
Their prices are not set in stone...........whatever the price is...................take £1000 off.As I got a grand off without much hassle............seriously,thats the way he prices the cars.He'll put a six grand car on at seven.The way he see's it is that if u know better u'll get the grand off,if u're stupid then u won't know any better.
The quality off his cars isn't in question,in fact I got an STi my94(version 1)for pennies and the guys at AWD in perth think it's a one of the best 1994 cars they've seen.
My opinion is to buy from them/haggle alot/check out JVS as well............but if u do buy from Mackays don't let them service the car............find someone else(ie somewhere with a Select Monitor that really knows their stuff.)

 

hi bud,

good cars, that he has in stock for ever..........and they charge like a wounded buffalo!! for a good price go to jvs, they do servicing as well now,
calder............hmmmmmmmmmm george the spanner man is good,
but i bought my last car from jvs

cheers robinh20

 

Marc, give me an email and let me know what car you are looking at. A friend of mine just got a car from JVS and they seem to be really helpful with after sales etc.

cheers bud

boyner

 

boyner,

what car were you after mate?

after this weekend, i should have a 4 dr WRX and also a 3 door Type R for sale

JVS are the only importers i would take my business to in scotland. heard far too many stories about the other too.

 

Another vote here for Andy and Peter from JVS. Got my car last year with them and they have been nothing but great. They have always done servicing, but just to those in the know. Recommend them highly even after going to buy from them with my eyes shut.

Thanks for all yor replies guys. I am looking at an R34 GT-R that he has just got in.

You could buy Kart-Mans higher powered R33 GTR for a lower price....

***shameless attempt to plug Daves car (if he's still selling it)***

 

Thanks Johnny, but my heart is set on the R34, the other half is not happy though as I said I would keep my car (03 STi) for 3 years

 

Never happens eh ?? lol.
Currently in the same boat...thinking of selling mine too.

 

Thanks for the comments guys. We really do appreciate peolple opinions.

We intend to keep up the good work with bigger and brighter things this year! See you all at the race/drag track! (Or the Stable bar )

 

Agree pretty much with everyone else's comment about Mackays.
Both myself and my brother bought our cars from there, cars r fab, couldnt have been more helpful when i was looking, but aftersales SUCKS. Warranty aint worth the paper it's on, and once you've paid for the car, they never answer the phone to you or return ur calls! But as I say, my baby's sound!

 

Hi boyakasha
would that be the silver one at 17995 ,its some machine looked at it myself but found it a bit pricey
shocker

 

Funny that as Im having the same conversation with my missus for the same kind of car..............must have skyline, must have skyline And that R34 looks sweet, i may have a trip down there now
Spooks

 

That R34 certainly looks the business. 1st one I've seen at a reasonable price. Boyakasha and Spooks.....race you there, as I may go by for a look as well. I've had the urge to change for a couple of weeks now.

 

No fair, I am but a humble service tech with no money LOL ..... a foolish pipe dream for me im afraid..........for now anyways
Spooks

 

My car was from JVS too and have had no problems...Andy and Peter will get you exactly what u want...they always get good cars with loads of goodies

Calders - Personally, would avoid (altho George is very good with his cars)
Mackay - always knocks 1k off the price if he senses u r serious...very aloof but nice cars - overpriced tho...

JVS - Rock solid, good prices, good quality....

Good luck

 

Shocker its the R34 for £29,995, I wish it was silver at £17,995 but at that prive it would hvae probably been used in a Ram Raid


Spook, evojkp if either of you are going to have a look at the car I would appreciate your thoughts on it as I am up in Aberdeen so don't realy want to wast my time traveling all that way if the car isn't mint.

Cheers

Marc

 

What is the story with newer Skylines comming in from Japan. I heard they will not get through ESVA and ony further 'Liners that can get ino the country need to be pre 1997?

 

It's to do with the "Model report". If there isn't one available then they can't get through ESVA.

 

hi troops,

this car will be TOTALY MINT, mackay kye only buys minters, though he does charge like a wounded buffalo though, and yes it has just become impossible to bring in gtr34s, i dont know the sva rules but you could ask andy at jvs,

cheers me old trouts,

robinh20

 

Not sure, the only thing I heard was that the SVA was more expensive

 

Unless you have an SVA already booked you cant get a test for Any GTR's manufactured later that 1.1.97

No more R34s

This may change in the future if someone produces a model report but that is not easy nor cheap.

This is also the case for some models of Scoobs and evo 5s etc

 

If any of you lads are local I would really appreciate it if you could have a pop past and tell me what you think. My mate in Edinburgh is away for a couple of weeks so don't know anyone else loacl to go and have a look.

Cheers

Marc

 

OT but can the SVA be done in Scotland anywhere?
