buying an FD

[CrystalSkull]

yeeh will try. how far/much would it cost for taxi from quenbeyan depot to airport?

planning to fly up on thursday but i have no idea of the place..

any FD brothers wanna help me out? few pints up for grabs

EDIT: the owner has sold it even though ive been negotiating all week to fly up. nice

That's a shame but understandable, just less hassle and quicker to sell to a local. But probably a good thing as it shouldn't be a problem finding in Adelaide. There's always some sucker wanting to upgrade to the latest even though the two models are nearly the same.
Sorry I wouldn't know taxi costs anyhow, I imagine comparable to anywhere else, public transport is not good here, motor city all the way; Airport and QBN is 10km, I would have offered a lift as everything in Canberra is about 10km away.

I do not mean to hijack your thread .
Can anyone estimate the price of Honda civic fd1 or fd2 demo, 1000km to 3000km?

I plan to get one for my wife. Thanks so much

ive seen fd1 vti 2011 & 2010 with that low km go for about $16k-19k .Most dealers would be in the $18-19k range

My mates work as salesmen for a certain car dealer (name withheld).

I really wouldn't buy a demo.

I've always had that fear too.. Demos are for thrashing

[DuffyFD]

The fact is that the salesmen don't own the cars they drive and have no reason to take care of them at least means that from new, they're not getting run in properly. They're not being driven easily etc which should be done in the first 5-10k km for the longevity of the engine

I got a 2011 civic vti for 19,000 with on roads, demo which had only 148km on it. But I had a look at one though which had 8,000km ex honda Australia (brisbane) to be precise which was interesting, dents in the bonnet and body and they wouldn't budge on the price, to say the least I would never recommend approaching Honda north in western australia, its full of big headed fat cat snide salesmen.
