Graphite Manual Sports + Mats $38K Perth, Delivery in 2 Weeks :) .
2nd Last Graphite Manual in Perth.. *Phew*
Thanks for all the help guys, especially Tanalasta. :wave:
Not too bad at all ... which dealer did you end up going to out of curiosity? You made sure you got the complimentary 5 year warranty + roadside assitance as well I hope? It 'is' part of the end-of-financial year sale. Now is where you go accessory shopping. Beware the aftersales lady who lies just as much as the dealer can. But streetlegal tinting can be had for $300 (not the $600 RRP they quote). Burswood use Tint-a-Car Osborne Park ... or so the stamp on my tinting brochure says! which is what you'd expect to pay anyhow. With the black window triming, tinting definitely makes your car look meaner.
Yet another graphite sports on the road *wah* - congrats on your purchase though! And that when the car is spanking new is the best time to wax it.
I went with Burswood Honda in the end. Got the price over the phone.. I dealt with a top salesman (Steve). Yeah I got the Warranty / Road Side, even though I'd rather sports pedals or something else instead of the road side as I already get it with RAC. As for tint, I wasn't about to get shaked with their markup, same goes for their Paint Protection rubbish. As for colour.. it was Graphite or Red (1 Graphite, 2 Reds Left in WA I believe), and I'm really not a Red Person.Quote:

Ahh ... they still have the red do they? *lol* - Red's the only colour where you don't have to pay for the metallic paint. Though it's routine to ask for the $300 metallic paint to be thrown in.
Over the phone's not bad. The Sport's pedal is well under $200 so not too hard to save up for. But I'm with the RAC too (cost $800 or so to insure my car for 41k). I'll probably cancel my roadside assitance with the RAC next year. You can also pay $20 a year to be a ' RACmember' and rack up the membership years you need to progress to bronze/silver/gold membership rather than the $69 for the roadside assitance.
Actually the 5 year warranty / roadside assistance is quite a good deal but I'll probablys till call the RAC before I call Honda. I've been with the RAC for years.
I got my street-legal tinting thrown in but I paid more than you did for the automatic Euro :P On the Civic purchase I'd cancelled I haggled the tinting down to $300 without too much trouble. I take very good care of my paintwork (the Honda servicing department scratched my car more washing it than I have done in a month) so thought $300 for the paint-glazing was worth it, especially as my car is parked outside a lot. Even my partner thinks my paintwork still gleams :)
Enjoy the delivery drive in 2 weeks! If they already have it in their 'yard' at the back, ask to have a look. The only reason it takes so long is because their pre-delivery detail department is probably booked out. It doesn't take long at all to ready the car and 5 minutes to install the mats!
I like how Burswood put the plastic licence plate covers over the plate too. It's a $20 option elsewhere. And if you remember to ask, you can often have first choice of about 4-5 different number plates at the end of the week. Or it's just under $200 for the 'AAnnWA' customized option.
*edit*
I detailed the interior of my car with Wolfgang's rubber/vinyl protector yesterday from www.waxit.com.au - I love the stuff. Applied easily with a foam applicator (just a $1 Meguair's pad) smoothly and evenly. Nice satin, non-shine sheen. Yet to apply Zaino's leather in a bottle onto my vinyl/leather seats.
And that newspaper trick to clean glass windows works!
Just an update, apparently they don't have any graphite in stock and can't get any more in (with it being limited edition etc.) so have swapped over to silver (and got floor mats chucked in for my inconvenience :)). Not too much of a problem as i couldn't really decide between the graphite and silver in the first place. Update on delivery date is Thursday or Friday this week :D
I was the same as you, couldn't decide between Silver / Graphite / Blue. I let stock levels decide for me.. hehe
go for blue :p ... personally, graphite is my favourite, but having driven it, i chosed the blue one.Quote:

Just took delivery of a Euro Std Auto Silver with tint, mats, parking sensors, paint protection all for $35000. ^_^
Now think shouldn't have added the paint protection... Paintwork doesn't feel as smooth as my other car with self applied Zaino...
