Stonkin Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Has anyone dealt with these people, they seem to have a few vehicles for sale on the trader at the mo, wondering if they would be worth a visit? Thanks, Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W2 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I have, and not very impressed. It seems that I was unfortunate though, a few other popel on this board have dealt with them without any problems at all. Speak to Chris Webley on here, he knows the guys there I think.

Stonkin Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 ok cheers Steve, thought it might be worth asking. Buying one of these cars seems hard enough, it helps to trust where your going to :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelG Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 yeah i had some problems with them when i was looking for my car. went to JIC in the end but they shafted me to. Really ? Thats interesting cos i only ever heard folk rave about them, i must admit though i bought my first replica kit from them and the guy seemed a bit dodgy.....cash only and no vat, no receipt etc. LOL nevermind i got the kit i wanted.

Castle Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yeah i had problems with them too and gave up on them in the end i think there are some other threads about em try the search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted April 1, 2005 Author Share Posted April 1, 2005 oh dear people, not very nice comments about them then, am i right in thinking JIC are no longer around. So who are the good importers or sellers now then (soutern based) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albundy68 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 JIC did indeed pack it up about a year ago, (or more), they were pretty good service wise, but a bit on the pricey side from what i remember. Theres some crackin cars on pauls website (wiffbits), and theres usually a couple of guys on here selling their pride and joy, if you dont mind buying privately... i got mine from motor mall in kent, they used to import/supply JIC's cars. I never had any problems, (and much cheaper than JIC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 you could try http://www.motormall.co.uk I think that is the website, it is where I got my car from. Basically this company imports cars for Newera and therefore you cut out the extra price. They are based down in Ashford and usually have a few soops in.

Teri Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Just thought it might be worth mentioning - Bonsai Cars is now under new management and hopefully the problems people have experienced will be a thing of the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I noticed their website had changed....hope they are more worried about actually selling cars now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 but their web site still has every Supra priced as : Estimated Price : £ N/A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Yeah i noticed they only seem to be advertising auction cars....can't find any in stock with actual prices yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teri Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 If you have a look at the UK Stock cars - we only have 3 in stock at the moment. The front pages are samples of the cars you get. Once you register - which is free - they will send you an auction link if you want to source one in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 When I was looking for a car I tried to contact Bonsai about 2 cars they had for sale, called several times and couldn't get an answer. Emailed them a few times, again no response. Gave up in the end and found a car a week later from Miami-GT. If thats the state of the pre-sales I'd hate to try and contact their after sales people If I was looking for a new car now there's only a few I'd bother with: Jurgen, Paul Whiffin, Miami-GT and Newera. From what I hear on these boards and others no one else really compares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
