didnt sound like anyone wanted anything anywyas :D ***





I am looking at bringing in a car from japan some time soon from Tau and as they do they offer to fill it with parts and send it over with no extra charges.
(will be within the next few weeks if it happens)

There anyone that needs anythign from Tau-sales.com that wanna pitch in for freight and have the bits put in my car?

Be a little careful MrOizo. Parts shipped in cars have had a tendency to go missing enroute.

Yeah, I think everyone has heard bad things about Tau. The only thing I heard firsthand, they were more than happy to sort out for the person. Gotta be careful what you hear, stories have a fantastic way of being stretched.

yeah man... i got my chaser through them too. all good experiences have been had with them so far.

Only trouble i had was me not reading that it didnt think it came with a decent head unit... all good tho...

no worries... if things do go missing i'll make a claim against the shipping company.. cheers

So anyone?

Every time we have a thread about Tau, someone who has never used them pipes up with a disparaging comment, but, as can be seen from the posts of people who have used them, such rumours are a load of BS. :roll:

I've imported 5 damaged cars through them, and will import more, both damaged and regular auction cars. They provide a good, cheap, professional service and I've not had any hassles with them at all.

The only thing that happened was not really their fault. When I purchased the Ferrari, due to my haste to make sure I secured it, I didn't change the shipping from roll on/roll off to container, then I asked them to change it by email but somehow it didn't get recorded on the invoice so it got shipped RO/RO. Then some prick tried to lever the rear prancing horse badge off with a screwdriver, no brains at all though all they had to do was pop th boot and undo it from the inside :evil:

Stock changes on a daily basis, and popular models like the EVO don't stay around for very long. Though typically there are one or two per week damaged ones per week on there. If you're looking for a non damaged vehicle then sign up for their "Auction Agent" service and that will give you access to a lot of the regular USS Auto Auction listings, a quick look reveals at least twenty of them for sale currently ;)
