Hello Erich,

I took your advice about making an exceptionally low offer and I ended up b uying the Golf for an absolute bargain you saved me THOUSANDS of dollars! I have already been raving about you to friends and family and if I ever go to buy another car I will be coming straight to you. Thank you for being so great with someone who could not be more ignorant about cars.

All the best!

Hi Erich Thank you very much for all your help and advice, it proved invaluable at the (NCAT) hearing today! I have attached a copy of the hearing fro your information. In the end I was offered and accepted remuneration to the total of approx. $3300. Thanks again!

Hi Erich,

Thanks for the report and follow up. I have proceeded with the purchase and am happy to fix problems as price is right. The car would sell for $8000+ in Queensland. The service and report you offer is exceptional and I have been very pleased with this service. As other inspectors don't even offer a report.

Your inspection and information has given me peace of mind for what Im buying, repairs needed and potential problems. I will say on top of an excellent service your valuation of cars value in the report is a section not seen north of the border. Many thanks for your help and to Hank for the inspection. A commendation to your business and your conduct as a professional.

Yours thankfully,

Nigel

Erich,

Thank you for this comprehensive and timely report. Kara purchased the car and is very happy with it. I will be purchasing another car within the next 12 months and I will be speaking with you before that purchase.

I will also be recommending you to all my friends and family.

Regards,

Hi Erich,

I received your report. Thanks for your speedy service. I am currently negotiating based on your appraisals. I have not supplied him any copies of this report and won’t, even if he asks for it. I have however mentioned the estimate of non specific repairs needed/expected and the possibility it may of had front end repair work carried out at some stage.......I hope this is ok.

Thanks once again for you speedy and professional service. I will be sure to keep you in mind for any of my friends or family contemplating a purchase from the Sydney Area.

Dear Erich,

Thank you so much for the prompt service and the exceptional report. Both my partner and I were convinced that this car was in good condition! We are so please we consulted an expert and we will be recommending you to our friends and acquaintances!

I would like to discuss the option of employing you to source a vehicle for me, please. My financial limit is around $15K to $16K, (it would be a great stretch to invest more, but in the right circumstances, I would reconsider). I am looking for a’08 corolla, auto with less than 30,000km (genuine!)

Many thanks for yesterday’s service and I look forward to hearing from you in regards to finding a suitable car.

Best regards,

Karen

Hi Erich,

Thank you very much for the report. I found it very useful and your inspection was very thorough. I have decided not to purchase the car due to the invalid log book! I thought this was very dodgy! I will continue looking for a car (with a full service history!) and will contact you again when I find something else!

Thanks again,

My wife and I don’t know much about cars and we’ve been burnt in the past buying cars that have turned out to be lemons. This is why it is so reassuring to work with Erich from Car Solutions. Erich knows everything there is to know about cars, helps you find the best car for your budget and ensures it is in top condition. It gave us real peace of mind. We made our purchase from Melbourne and never even saw the car beforehand but we felt comfortable that Erich would look after our best interests. He negotiated a good price and also completed a full pre-purchase inspection.

Hi Erich,

Nope, it was fantastic. The estimation you make of market value actually helped me recoup your cost so that's a worthwhile inclusion in the service. Thanks for all your help, I'm finalising the transaction this week and picking up the car this weekend.

Cheers,

Hi Erich,

Thanks again for the inspection. Yes we did end up buying the BMW. We are p leased! We loved the prompt inspection and report to ensure we did not lose out on the opportunity to purchase the car. In this instance since we were buying a BMW.

Your personal opinion about the car provided us the comfort since we hadn't seen the vehicle ourselves considering the level of investment we were about to make. Your ability to go beyond the car itself and question its origin and history also provided another level of comfort to us that your inspection could be relied upon. Finally the fact that I could ring you afterwards was also appreciated.

Thanks again. Rgds

Thanks a lot for the report you may have saved me a lot of trouble as I was not informed about the crash repair side of things and the one of the indicators did not work. very happy will use you guys again.

Dear Erich,

Just wanted to let you know that we have paid a deposit on the car and the deal is done. I am very happy with the deal and happy that we will have a car waiting for us when we get back to Australia.

Thank you so much for your help, it really was great peace of mind knowing that someone who knows what they are looking at is helping you. We'll be very happy to recommend your service to all our friends overseas, I think they will find it extremely useful and good value for money. My husband is a diplomat and so we have to buy and sell cars every few years. I know that we will call you next time we come back from a posting and need to buy a car again.

Can I make a suggestion? You should try and advertise in Australian Embassies, High Commissions and Consulates. Maybe even other nationalities coming to Australia who are not familiar with car purchase arrangements. I think you would get some good business from a lot of people who don't have the time or expertise to make confident buying decisions.

Anyway, best of luck for the future, as I said I know we'll be in touch again when we next need to buy remotely!

Erich,

Many thanks for your report it is easy to understand & logical. I will recommend you to friends who may require this service. I am guessing that the drivers seat belt had been changed as it was badly frayed.

Many thanks

When Barbara Bailey wanted to trade in and upgrade her family car, she was disappointed at the trade-in value offered by dealers she spoke to so she tried a car buying service. Mrs. Bailey called car consultant Erich Kannen at Car Solutions and has since bought three cars with his help. "He got us an extra $200 on the trade-in and he was willing to travel to do it. We live in Fivedock and he drove to Gosford to get a better deal." she says. "It made me feel empowered as a consumer - he has connections in the business and takes care of the running around and even advised us on insurance and tricks to watch out for when you're buying a car.

Dear Erich,

Thank you for your prompt service and clear detailed report for us, this taken a lot of stress off us - knowing that the car is not a lemon. We will recommend you to any one from our area looking at buying a used car. Knowing somebody with your experience has taken the guess work and stress away. Good to know the car is OK.

Once again thanks.

Regards,

Hi Erich,

Great thank you! The report is very helpful for me considering I would not have been able to identify at least 3 of the issues listed from my own inspections. Interesting that it has been in an accident, been repaired and yet no service manual for a car that has only done 37,000 kms.

Kind regards,

"Consumers who are looking for a new or used car ring Erich and tell him exactly what they're after - make, model, year, price etc. Erich does all the leg work - he searches the state for the best deal for his client, takes the car to the customer for a test drive, arranges mechanical inspections and does all the paperwork. In many cases the only time a customer needs to go to a dealer is to pick up the car. They never need to speak to a dealer. But the best part of this service is the savings that can be achieved by using Erich. Erich's experience in the industry and the contacts he's made over the last thirty years puts him in an ideal position to negotiate the best deal for customers."
