Pleasure to deal with – I have to date bought 2 Audi R8’s and 1 Lamborghini off Zak and have been treated with honesty and professionalism at all times. Enjoyed my experience with Zak and his team enjoyed my cars and would not hesitate to buy from Zak again.

Never trust them – I contacted Xoticar about a Bentley GTC, it was during lockdown and I relied on the description they provided. When the car in the Eastern side of Aus. it was not as described, they had misrepresented the condition and the Kilometres travelled, legal action was taken and the car was returned with a substantial loss of money. I would never ever… Read more

consider Xoticar to be honest, and furthermore if you choose to deal with them you are much braver than me.

Worst car yard ever dealt with – We did a straight swap with our 2007 Maserati which was in pristine condition for a 73 mustang convertible and was told it was an 8/10. When we got it, the mustang needed so much work, that it is costing us a small fortune to get it on the road. Xoticar said that the roof was in good condition with a small cut that had been repaired but when we… Read more

got it it had many cuts in the roof and the roof inside was full of mould, this is quite dangerous to breathe in so a new roof was needed. After weeks of back and forwards to try to get xoticar to pay for the new roof, we finally got $2500 which was nowhere near what it cost us to replace the roof so once again we are out of pocket. If we had of known the poor condition this car was in we wouldn’t have swapped it.

So our experience we found xoticar are dishonest and untrustworthy so I would steer clear of this dealer

Shady doesn't even come close – DO NOT TRUST. If they happen to have your dream car TRUST ME you'll wish you shopped elsewhere. This business was banned from operating in Victoria because it came out they were ripping off their clients. (Google it if you don't believe me) I knew this before I bought from them thinking my experience would be different... Sadly I was wrong. They… Read more

will brush you off, not answer calls and outright lie to your face after trying to rinse you for every dollar they can.

I've dealt with shady salesmen before but these guys are on another level.

Disappointing experience – I purchased a car from these people and found the salesman and owner very helpful until you purchased the car you wanted, after that they didn’t answer phone calls or returned your call, they become difficult to contact. Once you signed the dotted line you found out the warranty you agreed on you didn’t get apart from the standard 3 months every… Read more

2nd hand car has, the main warranty doesn’t come with the car because it cost then money even though you paid the full asking price. Lastly the owner tells you stories and tales about running cost and servicing cost that are pure rubbish, he will tell you anything to get a sale. Don’t be fooled these guys are professional con men.

Zak & Warren - Excellent to deal with – Fair trade price on Porsche and organised to have it collected from Sydney. They’re now in process of getting my new vehicle sent to me from WA. So far excellent experience with them.

Excellent professional advice – Zak's advice was first rate ; he was most generous with his time and effort. He went out of his way to be helpful. I am highly satisfied and would recommend Xoticar withoutreservation

Would not buy anywhere else – I have purchased two vehicles over the past 48 months and could not be happier with the quality of my purchases or the friendly & professional attitude of Zak's Staff.

Knowledgeable and Helpful – Was trying to sell my BMW M3 and was recommended by a friend to look for Zak at Xoticar. The staff was friendly and professional. Zak was really helpful and the whole process was easy and hassle free. Thank you Xoticar.

Exotic Cars – Called in to check out the idea of putting my car on consignment. I guess because I was dressed casual one might think that I am not a potential customer. No greetings, no interest shown to me for the 20mins that I walked through their "warehouse" The salesmen were older gents probably in their 60's, but dressed like they were ready to hit the… Read more

nightclubs. Their "showroom" had poor lighting was dusty and damp. Signs of rodent activity on the parcel shelf of one nice car. Most of these cars needed some serious detailing and were not presented as if for sale. I own a 599 and like looking at other makes in this sports car category such as Porsche, Lamborghini, Mercedes and even Audi.

Nice GT3 there and a rare R8 GT but both were covered in dust and moisture could be seen in the corners of the glass. I had seen enough to conclude that my car would not be coming here. I left the "showroom" and was chased by glancing stares, no hello, can we help you, thank you for calling by, I thought the day of the "Used Car sales yards" were over, but no I guess where ever there is money someone will be there to take it from you!

No interest – Went to Welshpool to look at a Cadillac which was ment to be there I did check before leaving home. When I get there no car was told “at the mechanics”. Salesman had zero interest to busy on the phone and outside having a smoke very unprofessional went elsewhere and spent my 30 k there loss

Worst. Dealership. Ever – I bought a car from these clowns some years ago. Some of the things they didn't tell me included that the car was on consignment, so was not theirs to sell as their own, it had been involved in a major accident and was extremely shoddily repaired, the engine was held together (literally) with Selleys bathroom gel, and the paintwork was… Read more

substandard. That was the major stuff, but in the 3 years I owned it, there was plenty more that went horribly wrong, like needing new cat converters, new fuel pumps, and a new starter assembly. Of course, when all these troubles raised their heads, the so called professionals scattered at a million miles an hour. The person who sold me the lemon, who was the original smarmy snake oil salesman, disappeared soon after I first raised my concerns, never to be heard of again. When confronted with this litany of horrors, there was not even a hint of an apology, or "what can we do to make it right?", and any restitution had to be dragged from them, like blood from a stone. I agree with the person who said if they were the only dealer in Perth, they would buy a horse. I would go so far as to say I would rather walk, than have to deal with this mob again.

Consumer advice: avoid at all costs!

Worse experience yet – Purchased Thunderbird , with rego, and delivered to Melb, what I saw when I went to pick up the car, was, It had been parked between 2 cars with MM's to spare in a back street so it wouldnt be stolen as it was there overnight . The rego plates had been removed and this of course meant added cost to getting it on the road, I also didnt have a no… Read more

reg permit ( as it was rego'd ) so was unable to secure one until until I was able to gain access to a printer , possibly the worse experience buying a classic car that I have had, and i have had a fair few, would not advise purchase from this mob as once you pay, your on your own , and delivery will be the cheapest backyarder they can find .

Disappointing – I was also approached by XOTICAR to sell my vehicle they found on Car Sales. The Contract was 30 Days that extended as they apparently had two keen buyers surprisingly right at the 30 Day mark. I allowed then to retain the car for another 14 days. I had to call them constantly over the whole period with not one call to give me updates. I… Read more

eventually had enough and retrieved my car.

I picked it up with 87Klms additional on the Clock. I would have expected say 10 or maybe 15 with a few test drives? They had changed my registration plates (This apparently can be done by a dealer in WA without your consent?) They lost my Number plate surrounds and my Blue Tooth hands free unit. I had a number of new stone chips and a nasty scratch on the grille also as scars of a regrettable decision.

Anyway reverse "Caveat Emptor" I guess and my advice... "Car Sales" and keep control.

"Very Underwhelming".

Totally Utterly Disappointed – I was approached by this company enquiring about buying my car which they had obviously seen after searching the internet and carsales.com. They indicated that they were short on stock and were particularly interested in my new Mercedes with delivery only kilometres. We agreed to meet the next day. Big mistake and a waste of my time. It was… Read more

obviously a ploy to get me there and present a ridiculous offer. The manager was arrogant, didn't even introduce himself and only initially communicated through his sales person. I even had to ask if it was alight to sit down as I was left standing. After much discussion and being continually given the negative aspects of them taking the Mercedes off my hands I had to remind them that they had contacted me in the first place. This was met with silence. My advice is buyers beware. If this company was the only car dealership in Perth I would buy a horse!

AMAZING FEEDBACK FROM A VERY HAPPY CLIENT – Hi Fred & Zac Our plan was to trade our much loved Porsche Cayman with a well-known dealer group for a 4WD but the trade in value we were offered wasn’t worth it, so we advertised it ourselves. Shortly after listing the car on the internet a team member called from Xoticar offering to consign and sell the car for us. Being new to the… Read more

consignment process and somewhat fastidious customers, we were quite hesitant but during the initial discussions we started to feel comfortable with the team and handed over our car for sale. After only a few days had passed we discovered that Xoticar also had a few 4WD cars to choose from, which peaked our interest.

On inquiry about trading we were presently surprised when they offered us a very fair trade in price and one which didn’t disrespect us so when they added in a few extras like warranty and service etc made it a very hard to resist.

However, when we collected the car we were blown away that the team at Xoticar Canning Highway had gone above and beyond to present the 4WD like new and carried out all the things that we had agreed, making the handover gift unnecessary but all the more appreciated.

We don’t often make recommendations and are rarely impressed so in this case we felt that it needed saying.

Many thanks to team Xoticar.

Dishonest and unprofessional – Absolutely dishonest. Unfortunately Xoticar embody the old cliché of the used car salesmen to the fullest. Not going into any details I would just like to warn anyone considering buying or selling a car to avoid them at all cost. I am certain that like myself and 'chatnoir' there are many customers in a similar situation. The big mistake I made was not to trust my gut feeling and not to look for any reviews. Stay well away.

Purchased XF Jaguar – Avoid at all costs: Unfortunately this company has dropped the ball in the end. It seems they just pay a limited amount to keep you quiet and then once you are out of cover they do not follow through. I bought a $50,000.00 Jaguar that has had major problems from the first day I bought it. In the end it has cost me thousands of dollars and it… Read more

is still not rectified. The alarm still goes off at 2 am in the morning. It has been in the mechanic more time than what I have had it. I paid over $4,000.00 for rego and insurance only to have it half the time. So I am out of pocket over $2,000.00 just for that. Never mind having to drive the car over 15 times to the mechanic, have some one pick me up, go back and get it all at my expense.

They just tell you what you want to hear so I gave them an excellent review at first, but they just don't follow through.

Find another company that will look after you properly.

Not what they claim – Was approached by these guys at Xoticar Como (Perth, Western Australia) to sell my 3 year old car on consignment, they offered to sell it for about half of what I bought the car for new, I agreed only because I needed to sell the car. After about 4 weeks I received a call from them to say they would offer me over $5,000 less than agreed!!! In a… Read more

tight spot I agreed to sell the car. So far it has taken weeks to get any money from them, this is despite the car supposedly already being sold and I'm still waiting. Through the whole process I felt like I was being continually lied to and lost all faith in them, not really what you want when so much of your money is involved.
