October 25, 2016: The examples given below are but a few. Wikifrauds gets at least one complaint a week about these scammers, far too many to publish. All are the same - people have paid good money for bad cars that breakdown and never get fixed. In some cases, people have paid for cars and not received the cars nor been able to get their money back. Others have been stuck with massive repair bills and no warranty. Nearly all cars sold are unroadworthy but have been supplied with dodgy certificates (pink slips). We haven't kept count of the complaints but estimate it to be well over 100 since we first published. Again, DO NOT do business with this outfit or you will be in a world of pain.

They have only been in business under this name since September last year (2014). We believe they formerly traded as WDA Wholesale Direct Dealers Pty Ltd. They are not members of the Motor Traders Association (MTA). They are however known to Fair Trading over a dozens of consumer complaints.


Feb 26, 2015:
Used car buyers should not purchase vehicles from this company without a full independant mechanical and body check undertaken by a recognised service such as the NRMA.

Wikifrauds has evidence of a disgraceful sale that took place this week concerning a totally unroadworthy vehicle sold with a dodgy certificate and by misrepresentation. Please stay away from this untrustworthy and dishonest dealer. Everything that comes out of their mouths is lies.

Example: Purchase of Landcruiser
It was agreed in writing between a customer and this dealer that the vehicle was to be delivered Sunday Feb 22, 2015. It was not delivered until the following Tuesday. The customer lost 2 days work at that point by waiting at home for a car that "was on its way".When it finally arrived, it was rolled off the tow truck because it wouldn't start. The tow truck driver didn't want to help. Client called the dealer who responded,"what do you want me to do about it, it drove fine onto the tow truck, saw it with my own eyes". Client called Fair Trading NSW. They said not to do anything to the car until a mechanic looked at it, ie do not buy new battery etc. Client called a mechanic who came to try to jump start it. The battery was flat and still wouldn't start with jumper leads. Investigations found a melted ignition fuse. The car did NOT drive itself onto the truck. Impossible. Client still has the melted fuse. Vehicle then assessed by a properly qualified independent NRMA technician and was found to be in a dangerous and unroadworthy condition. A rough estimate of $4000 neeed to be spent to pass the mandatory roadworthy tests and certification. The NRMA report stated that it was not to be driven as it was in a dangerous condition.

The paperwork that came with the vehicle was supposed to include a 12 month warranty but that was not supplied. There was a certificate of roadworthy (completed by some dodgy mechanic who will be dealt with by the Roads and Maritime Services, formerly the RTA) and the RMS transfer document only. The client asked the dealer about the missing warranty and they simply said they forgot it. No contract of sale has been provided as required by law. (And, the dealer does not display his licence number on his website, also required by law.)

The client asked for full refund. The dealer reluctantly agreed but at the client's cost to return car, which required another truck at a quoted cost of $250, and the dealer will not refund any money without the car in their possession.

The client has lodged a complaint with Fair Trading NSW and requested their assistance. On their advice a demand was emailed to the dealer yesterday, Feb 26,  for the dealer to refund all money paid. Telephone discussions between the dealer and the client reveal that the dealer received the demand but ignored it. The dealer re-stated that even if the vehicle was on a truck at the dealership, he couldn't guarantee an immediate refund as "only the bosses can do that". In fact the person on the phone was a 'Jay' or 'James', and he is the boss.

Click here to see NRMA report on this dangerous and  unroadworthy vehicle:
Cick here to see advert showing 12 months warranty which the client did not receive. Note in the description that the kilometers driven show as 0 - nil, zero! This is also illegal advertising.

March 10, 2015  - Still no response from dealer and still no refund to client!

March 17, 2015: This story gets worse by the day! Clear case of fraud:
It turns out from a check with the RTA, that the vehicle in question does not belong to the dealer. So this shonky dealer has sold a vehicle that is not theirs to sell, and have therefore obtained a financial benefit by deception and misrepresentation, which is the definition of fraud. This will be reported to the NSW Fraud Squad in the next day or so.

Further, on March 16 these scammers offered to float the truck back and then refund the customer's money. A tow truck took possession of the vehicle at 2.30pm today and it was confirmed by the dealer that it was received by them. They promised to refund the money immediately, and send a copy of the deposit transaction to the client. As at 6.30pm this has not happened. The client has phoned several times and was told that they were doing it right then!

Update March 19, 2015: The client has finally received her money back in full. However she remains out of pocket for the two days wages she lost waiting for the vehicle to arrive and still stressed at the worry and insulting manner with which she was treated by this "Alister" character, whoever he is.

Second complaint: The following email came in to us late Monday March 9.  It is pasted directly from the email:


Sounds all too familiar. And this Jamie McCallister character is probably using a false name.

Third matter: We received the following from a Facebook blog:
"Never ever ever buy from these people. Serious scammers & ripped off a friend of mine ... not the first time they have done this either!"
June 04, 2015 New complaint just in:
The following email arrived today. We have withheld the name but have no doubt it is factual. Will these ratbags ever learn:

June 18, another complaint:
"I purchased my car from wholesale direct autos in September 2014 (a Mazda 2 Neo) for $3,200.       
If you are having problems with this outfit, contact us or go to the Department of Fair Trading NSW and the RMS?RTA. Dealers like this and their dodgy "cash" mechanics put people's lives at risk.
