Goldstar autos- nutcases

[JAJH]

Want to put up a post regarding a car yard I rang today. GOLDSTAR Autos in Strathpine on the north side of Brisbane advertised a Series 3 Manual XR8 with 187,000klms for $4990 with 6 months rego. There was only a couple of pics and none of the interior so I tried to call them on Sunday as the ad stated they were open 7 days a week....but no answer on Sunday. So, rang them today on the mobile number in the ad and got a bloke named Brett (who I later found out was the owner) and asked him about car. He stated the was to be sold as is, so I told him the ad stated the car was advertised with 6 months rego. He states there won't be any RWC, so I said he should know you can't sell a car with Rego without a RWC. He then claims he had a young girl who placed the ad and made a mistake. I said ok, not a big deal at this point so continued to ask about the condition of the car and what the interior was like and if the car had books and service history. At this point he gets defensive and evasive and says I am looking at the wrong car. I asked what he meant. He says I am asking $50,000 questions on a $5000 car. I said these are normal questions and why I want the car is for my own reasons. With that he starts screaming down the phone at me with expletives and hangs up. Somewhat incredulous I rang their office number and got "Abdul" and asked who the Manager/Owner is? Abdul then quizzes why I want to know and eventually admits he is the manager, so I explain the circumstances and how disgusted I was to be treated the way I was for no apparent reason. Anyway, I couldn't get any sense out of Abdul and finished the call. A minute later I get another call from Brett having another go complete with a mouthful of abuse. At this point I am gob smacked that a so-called business thinks they have the right to treat potential customers like this. I'm not normally the type to back down but the way this guy went off for no reason was just mind numbing. Call ended again with Brett shouting, screaming and hanging up. Low and behold he then sends me several threatening text messages....all over one phone call I made enquiring about a car. Absolutely amazing people like this can not only run a business and are allowed to deal with the public, but they actually exist and draw breath. Link to the ad here, but I noted the ad has been changed since this arvo now stating it is to be sold as is.
