Warning about Osaka
Yeah I ordered a ZE from Osaka about 9 months ago. Price I paid was the best I could get in Canada, but everytime I called I got shuffled around to another salesman (each one spoke worse English than the last). Make sure you specify that you want the V6, because I constantly called and they kept getting confused about the different engines they had. I was getting really pissed off but I needed the engine badly!
Once engine arrived... things went bad....
1. Theey quoted me only something like 150$ to ship to me (I live in Ontario and they are located in Quebec). But once it arrived the shipping company charged me another 300$ on top of the original shipping quote. Since I had it shipped to my Mechanics garage, I had to RUSH over there to pay the extra money once it arrived.
2. My mechanic said it looks like the engine had rolled over in the back of the transport truck. The Disty was cracked and the oil sending unit (I believe) was broken too. Another couple of $$ on top I had to pay.
3. And finally once It had arrived and was removed off of the truck it looked like the engine had about 150000 kms on it as opposed to the 30 000 they said it did.
Overall I was quite pissed off about the way I was treated by this company on the phone as well as the extra qshipping cost.
Also I did not EVER recieve a reciept for the motor, Even after calling and giving them several fax numbers to fax it to. They kept giving me the run a round saying that it must be my fax machine not thiers. I finally gave up after my 90 day warranty was up anyways.
Overall, I am happy with the ZE, luckily I had my credit card when i purchased it becuase I ended up needing quite a bit of extra cash later in the deal.
I warn you all now when dsealing with them, EXPECT TO PAY EXTRA HIDDEN FEES.
Later, good luck,
Adam
