Sadek Motor Group

I have dealt with Sam at Sadek Motor Group for more than 15 years now and bought more than 5 cars in last 10 - 15 years. I find them to be of high integrity and easy to deal with. the staff are very supportative and patient when dealing with customers and management is highly professional

So went in to sadek to get my first finance, a few things. They let me make my own decision not getting my hopes up also letting me freely test drive the cars having as much time to go over the ones I liked. They also met my budget saving almost 20k and helped me get a good rate on finance. The trade in for my car same day once approved I was… Read more

in my car that afternoon.

I got brand new tyres a detail and fresh 12months rego. I couldn’t be happier I’ll be taking the car back in for a trade in and continue to use this team.

The broker was amazing went above and beyond being brutally honest also getting me a lower interest rate then originally was going to get.

Head on down if you are stuck very easy process. Great works team also mechanic went out of his way to introduce himself the owner himself went out of his way to introduce himself. 5stars

3rd car – On Saturday Feb 1 I took my Holden Cruze back to Sadek Motors of Elderslie for a trade in on a Holden Commadore wagon. The transaction went smoothly. They gave me what I wanted for my old car. On Wednesday the car overheated and was returned to Sadek Motors. They checked the vehicle and found that the radiator cap needed… Read more

replacing. This they did free of charge to me. This is the 3rd car my family has purchased from Sam and the boys. I'm very happy all round.

Great car yard – Brought a used car the other day from Sadek motors in Elderslie and I'm very pleased with the service from all the staff. Car was exactly as discribed and I couldn't be happier. I would give 10 stars if I could. I would highly recommend getting a car from them.

If I could give no stars, I would! Purchased a car 12 months ago and so disappointed. We had the car delivered to a regional area at our own cost. Turned up dirty, smelly and with a dodgy battery. After having a diagnostic test done the car was found to have 31 faults. When my husband rang to complain it was confirmed (with evidence) the car did… Read more

not have the contracted warranty check completed and all that was offered was $1000. We now have an undriveable vehicle requiring $20k in repairs! Department of Fair Trading complaint lodged, dodgy, shonky and never again

Bought a Forester. 2 years ago. Problem 1: The car was full of sand, probably a car that was around the beach and had a pet in the back as the leather seats were dry from salt. That's ok the car can be cleaned, didn't worry much about it especially when they said they will DETAIL the car. Got the car and there was sand everywhere, in the… Read more

crevices of the seats, carpet and a tonne of sand inside the seat belt buckle. Car Stank as well. Took the car to them a few days after receiving it. The guy got a high pressure hose and blew some of the sand off, didnt get all of it off. There was sand still in the seat rails. Car still smelt like dog and I had to get a professional detailing done which I paid for which fixed the smell and all of the sand. Problem 2: When I test drove the car the battery died. No big deal as they said they'll replace it. A few weeks after I took the car home the battery died on me (luckily on my driveway). They obviously gave a used battery they pulled out from another car sitting around. Problem 3: Cars transmission was leaking. $1,500 to fix that. This issue was identified within a few months of receiving the car but just outside the warranty although without a doubt was like that when I bought it. You can't identify this if the car hasn't been run for months and sitting on the yard. This also shows they dont go through their cars with diligence. Problem 4: AC hose leaking within a year. I spent more money on the car such as a recent AC compressor failing but I can't directly blame the dealer for that 2 years later.

I think this is like a side hussle for them. Go to a more reputable dealer or go private with due diligence.

Scam!!! – SCAM!!! Don’t buy from them nothing!! Jay and Sam will be lie into your face without even blinking their eyes. Long story short I bought Volvo xc60 (they put this car up for sale again) and for 10 months the car was sitting in there mechanic all the time trying to fix the car. After when I won court case with them they “agree” to return my money. Watch out for them!!!

Land Rover Discovery Sport Engenium Engine issue with Timing Chain – Land Rover Car even with a standing mechanical issue from the Land Rover Supplier I bought a car with Sadek twice. A land rover, in the beginning they were very good in service. I bought the car last 28 April 2023, Land Rover Discovery Sport, it was running properly. But less than a year it started to have rattle noise. I went to Sadek around… Read more

Feb 2024 for change oil which is 10 months old after purchase. The mechanic of Sadek said it is noisy. Then the owner told me you have to take it to LMK. I rang LMK, he said he does not accept Integrity Warranty insurance anymore. I told Sadek owner if I can change it as it is very noisy, The owner said fix it will change it. This is still in February 2024. The owner told me over text message on 23rd Feb. 2024 to ask land rover as there might be a mechanical issue of this car. With only short km compared to a normal car to have to change a timing chain, the land rover needed to change a timing chain. I asked an expert mechanic with European cars from Goulburn. He told me that he had done a lot similar and Discovery sport has an engenium engine which creates a timing chain kit issue even with a short km wear and tear use. I begged to Sadek to help me fix it or replace it. Sadek was saying the parts insurance will help but the insurance have denied the 3 mechanical shop who diagnose it. They refused to help me fix it. I have reported to the fair trading. Never buy a car from them.

Not happy – Purchased a Nissan Navara 4x4 Ute for my 18year old son. Paid 15000, they wouldn’t budge on this price. Now the vehicle has so many issues, very costly. To date spent 4 grand fixing worn parts, which doesn’t seem to be covered in their warranty they sell you. Now the vehicle is at the mechanics with possible engine problems. This could turn… Read more

into a 25 grand vehicle if the engine needs replacing. Can’t wait to get rid of it. All this issues occurred 3 months after purchasing the vehicle.

Stay away – If I could give 0 stars, I would. By far the worst experience I have had buying a car. The owner Sam does not car about customer service, all he cares about is the money. Do yourself a favour, stay away. Don't buy a car from this place, you will regret it.

If I could give them 0 stars I would – Old school, dodgy car dealer. Never, ever buy a Landcruiser from them, they buy dirt cheap cars that have low ks but have been thrashed from being used on mostly Qld mining sites and sell them to people who don't know better, who are then up for 15k plus in repairs. Will sell you a lemon, with a 3 year warranty that doesn't exist.

Reply to Sadek – The salesman was fully aware at the time that the car was going to Bathurst and couldn’t bring it back that was why we needed it a 100% working order don’t make look like we couldn’t be bothered bringing it back and we were cash buyers

Great experience and 1st car for our son – We had an amazing experience with Sadek Motor Group. We purchased our sons first care here about a month ago and the whole experience was great from the start. The team go above and beyond with their service and care. They were professional and considerate, involving our son in how to care for his car among other things. Highly recommend these guys for your next car.

Don’t make my mistake – Honestly please do yourself a favour & avoid this place at all costs. I purchased a car from here in 2020 and it was the biggest mistake. Now looking back there we’re so many red flags before completing the purchase, that I still kick myself for not running in the opposite direction. I was a local to Elderslie & wanted to trust a local car yard. I… Read more

had problems with the car from the second I drove out the driveway & spent so much time & money into fixing it which ended up all being in vein. After owning it for 12 months a new problem of overheating started, I was then told by my mechanic to cut my loses & sell it as soon as possible. I lost so much money, I am now traumatized by the whole experience and don’t trust anyone selling a used car. After getting it towed a few times every driver when I told them who I purchased it from had the same response “Yeah they’re dodgy”.

Great Service Great Car – Very professional and friendly staff. Got trade in price for my car over email and phone which was awesome. Also aloud me to pick up on the day of the test drive as I live 8 hours away from car yard. Car is great! Thanks Sadek.

At Your Risk: dont buy Contactless cars from Sadek Motors ( have other names) – WARNING: The car noted below has been relisted on carsales with the original advert, price and selling company.!!! see below I was looking for a midlife crisis car - but a quiet one - midlife crisis and car. Searching about for a while I settled on a Volvo C30 (yes I wear a hat, yes Im bald, yes Im old - nearly, and yes I love driving Volvos).… Read more

I found a 2010 model C30 with 40,000kms - a base model, the pictures advertised it as looking good.

I initially rang and was advised it was being sold by Sadek Motor Group - Prestige vehicles at Revesby and the car was a one owner, garaged, a 'lovely car', but the car owner was still using it while waiting for their replacement. Lie 1. The car was actually purchased from a wholesale car auction a few months earlier, had run up an additional 300km while in the car yards possession, and had no sign of ever being garaged, and was anything but in a lovely condition. I have photos a plenty to confirm this. But I am ahead of myself..... I was introduced to '[Name Removed]'. He advised the car was available but due to Covid19 all car purchases were contactless only, that is, no visiting the yard to inspect or drive, and a sort of inspection could only be by 'Zoom' or similar streaming. External inspections by an NRMA like mechanic would only be by phone so I was told. With a lot of caution I had a streaming link with [Name Removed] but with relative impatient phone/camera handling and sun reflection it was difficult to really see the body & paintwork, motor or interior with certainty, although it was clearly not detailed inside or out. Of note was a possible cigarette smoke stain on the ceiling above the steering wheel. When questioned whether it was a smokers car, we received an definite 'no' The motor looked clean but was all I could do. Clearly it was not a garaged car, but I was advised - the car would be fully detailed inside and out - the car would be mechanically checked over by their racing car specialists to ensure it was in excellent condition including replacing any parts of doubt and that the compulsory dealers charge of $495 was to accommodate these costs. That the car would not leave the yard unless in top condition.

With low Kms, and these undertaking on detailing & mechanics I purchased the car without discount and without registration (just lapsed). I laboured to confirm that these preconditions had to be met.

Yes you guessed correctly, the car arrived by truck a couple of weeks later (no access to Revesby as in lockdown), in anything but detailed, or serviced or repaired. It was filthy inside and out with good tyres being replaced with new? but inferior quality. The engine while looking fairly clean showed no signs of servicing let alone repair, with very low oil and old discoloured coolant a clear indication of no servicing.

I textd and emailed with no [Name Removed] reply. I felt I had been ripped off wholly. Oh, and yes, the big point, it reeked of long term cigarette smoke. (the 'smokers?' stain sighted as above was gone however).

Edited: i deleted a large section of this review as far too long....

IN SUMMARY I purchased a used car in good faith 'contactless' due to covid. I did so conditional on the advised condition of the car and also on the full detailing and mechanical servicing. None of the preconditions nor advice received was correct. Contactless made me more 'dependent' on their honesty. I relied on - and stated so - the undertakings given, all which turned out to be lies. This I think is as about as bad an experience as one can have, fulfilling a negative stereotypical image of the used car salesman industry. This salesman made no contact nor attempt to reconcile the matter . After numerous letters and conversations with the General Manager [Name Removed] and after THE MOTOR BLEW UP with Steam Train volumes of smoke pouring out of it, a negotiated return was agreed to but only after I accepted $2000 less.

I am left with a 'sour taste' overall at what appeared to as a corrupted an experience as could be. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FAMILY OF Car BUSINESS'

As the saying goes "would you buy car from a used car salesman"?.............

Horrible experience, DO NOT BUY CARS HERE – Bought a Ford Mondeo xr5 turbo from here in Feb 2021. Whilst in the car yard, Sam the owner tried pushing other cars onto me, in specific, an AUDI, I did not purchase as it’s engine light was on and Sam couldn’t tell us what was wrong with it. When I test drove the Ford, the boys I dealt with said a blue slip had been done, battery replaced and… Read more

the timing belt had been replaced. Not even 6 months of owning the car and the battery has died twice, and the timing belt has “slipped” off and smashed up the engine. I’ve tried calling Sam from Sadek and he doesn’t answer and phone calls aren’t returned. It’s been a week since the timing belt went, and Sadek Motor Group have ignored every attempt I’ve made to find out if what they said is true or if they’ve just lied to me to make a sale. Do NOT buy any cars from here, unreliable.

Support Local! Best Customer Service in the Car Industry – Sammy and the boys were such a pleasure to deal with. I bought an Isuzu DMax and wasn’t sure of 4wds but needed it for work. Sammy went above and beyond showing me thru the vehicle and even helped me put my WRX in their yard to sell on consignment. These guys look after you and listen, even treating you like an old friend. Going back to get my… Read more

son a car. They put all the major car dealerships to shame as they go out of their way to put you in the right car! Thanks Sammy for all your help

DO NOT RECOMEND!! False Advertising!!!! – DO NOT RECOMEND!! False Advertising!!! I traveled 3 hrs yesterday to look at a white Mitsubishi asx advertised for $9999 with rego. In the ad it says cars registerd and I was soo keen to buy it! I loved the car but after taking it for a test drive I was told it was un registered, that id need to pay an extra $100 for a blue slip, he put like $500… Read more

worth of "their fees" ontop, as well as having to pay my own rego! Or he will put 3months of it for an extra $500! What a complete joke! Im a single parent pensioner (i told him 3 times im a pensioner) Ive been approved for 10k and that was stretching my budget. They advertise cars at a price to get you down there, then put way over $1000 worth of extra fees and charges! This car needed 2 new tryres and everything! And I apparently had to take it down the road to get a blue slip! ‍Then Danny pushed and pushed for me to leave a deposit to secure the car even tho i told him i wanted to think about it coz I was not at all happy with the deal and couldnt fome up with and extra $500 in a hurry. I was soo extremely dissappinted. In the end he took some of the fees off but i still ended up being charged $10500!! I left after paying a $100 deposit, I was tired, cranky and felt pressured and upset. Dont bother with these ppl if looking for a car unless you want a huge disappointment! Their cars cost more than advertised price and they will rip you off. Be weary people‍! Ill be getting my deposit reunded and going to fair trading.

Excellent customer service – The team at sadek motors made me feel so welcome from the moment I walked through the gate to the moment I left nothing was a problem for Sam and his staff, I was 100% happy with the purchase I made with Sam and would highly recommend sadek motors, Sam’s a no crap man and straight to the point which I found refreshing I’ll definitely be back to sadek motors again in the future.

Amazing customer service – I live interstate and called them about a car i wanted to purchase They made this the most easy transaction i have ever had to but a car Friendly helpful organised fiance and to have the car transported from Sydney to Darwin I will defendant be calling them again when it comes time to upgrade my other family car A terrific team with good old fashioned customer service

Bunch of crooks – Dodgy AF. When you point out legitimate issues with the cars, including no log books, gaffa taped wiring, interior damage and tyres with black paint on them to make them look new they still won’t budge on prices. Don’t waste your time.

Amazing Customer Service!! – Had a wonderful experience purchasing our VW Amarock! Everyone from sales to finance were so very helpful and went out of their way to help us!! Highly recommend!!

Outstanding service – Purchased White Audi Q5 from the boys at Sadek Motor Group and the service was great. They were all extremely helpful throughout the whole deal and would not hesitate dealing with them again. Quality car and service highly recommend.
