Funnily enough I was going to do a similar thing to you,and buy a 2008 Corolla sedan,ex Avis for $16500,whilst waiting for the 2011 Jetta 6 to be launched.Quote:

I just felt a bit nervous about buying used,so I bought a new Euro...which has been full of niggles,but I still LOVE it very much.
the CU2 luxury navi is still my option, black / white / silver, all available for immediate delivery. the CL9 was actually my first second hand car, had 4 new cars previously started when i was 14 y.o. (i came from a country where by paying a bit of premium you could get a license to drive:p )Quote:

Hmm, i wonder did they do proper driving test from your Country after they got the so called "incentive" from you?Quote:

driving in that country requires quite a bit of skills though. people change lanes without indicators. on some streets, the gap between cars parked and your car is less than 50cm and there's usually uncovered gutter on the other side. and many other untidy things.
but in saying all these, this was the common practice in the 90's. i think it's a lot stricter now...
that's why RTA would not grant NSW license without the usual procedures (L to P1, P2, open) for this country's license holders, you bet they know the reason :p
Have a change from the White,and go for either the Silver or Black,they are IMHO the 2 hottest Euro CU2 colours,and the most popular in Melbourne,as well as the Grey.Quote:

The White,Red,and Navy are far less popular.
AAMI rang me saying that the other party denied of any wrong doing. he said that i tried to overtake him and hit his truck while he was on the left lane.
i told AAMI to check the wheels on the right front and rear as this proves that i got squeezed between his truck and the island in the middle of the road.
i was probably on his blind spot and as he was a scavanger, he was probably focused on looking out what he could pick up from the pavements (it was the Sunday before council recycling week)
the rear right wheel got a big hit from the island, and the suspension was also damaged from it.
the front left is the worst and it got direct collision with the truck.
what do you think?
Kinda hard, did you manage to get an eye witness? Court is the only option I believe...Quote:

bought a cobalt blue CU2 Luxury SatNav with mats set, extended 5 yrs wty, lock nut set, boot tray and rear bumper protector.
might want to change it to black... (my wife chose the cobalt blue)
HAhaha you go tell everyone else about that! But seriously you still have better option with CU2 instead of like me end up with C-Class from CU2 :(Quote:
