Nah here to keep red Euro owners company :D Haven't seen too many around yet, only 2 or 3, but considering how good they look I am surprised.

One other thing I noticed about the red compared to my previous Arctic Blue Euro, it never looks really dirty, especially from a distance! You only notice it needs a clean when you get right up close, means I don't have to wash it every 3 days now :) Getting alot of compliments on her now too! Yeah mine is female ;)

Picking up mine soon. Essendon area.
I might be the only person ever to trade in a euro manual luxury for a euro auto luxury.

Let me know how it goes, I know you will love it! Hey I know why you are getting a red one, you live in Essendon, so that means you barrack for the Bombers in the footy right? Red Euro with the black interior... seems rather fishy ;)

I got mine from Essendon Honda, go in and ask for Will, I have bought 3 cars through him so he should know me or my missus names. My missus name is Christina, just mention either of our names and he should look after you :)

There's a luxury car tax (25%) on car sales (including accessories) over a certain value -- it used to be about $52000 but it's been lifted to $57000.

It only took me like a week for mine, and that included them putting the spoiler on and Doing the Ming Tints.

When we were searching for our euro we got the price down to around abt 45500-46000 for an 05 euro Luxury, in auto with full bodykit except spoiler, weather shields and floor mats, no tints though. That was drive away price as well.

That is probably what he was talking about, as it was it was under 50K without the kit and just with the spoiler and tints thrown in.

That is pretty good, you would have to throw the tints in though, can't live without tints :D Considering I was quoted 4 grand for the kit, you managed to pretty much get the kit for free, which dealer was that through?

I can't do without my heated seats, been damn cold here in Melbourne, especially at night! Warms up the tush in no time :D

They told me the aftermarket was just as good as the OEM. And in the end, it's still going to be factory fitted so that's all that matters to the insurance company. The OEM one is a ripoff. I wouldn't pay around 4 grand for a lip kit, and some of the other guys here have purchased the Mugen kit which looks pretty good! But I don't think the missus would be happy if I got it... :D

Gotta love those heated seats! :thumbsup:

Edit: Add: No way I would pay 50k for the Euro! Even with every accessory added, it shouldn't cost that much.
