Quick Hello - New Civic turning up in a couple of weeks

[TechnoBill]

Is that dealer talk for "the cheque is in the mail"?

Only if I start getting the run around in a few weeks.
Otherwise its good customer service.. keeping me in the loop so far its on schedule for the last week of this month.

Now if Vic roads will just send me the correct plates this time I should be set (the last lot of personal plates were misspelled which is pretty sad considering there were only two letters on the plate )

Got your chassis number? There's an easy way to check. A VIN will give you the manufacturer, model type, model year, country of origin and ID number.

WVW is the Volkswagen group (obviously). ZZZ is a generic filler due to VINs being made up of 17 characters. 1KZ is the Golf V platform and 7 is the model year, usually appearing as MY07. Model years vary depending on the manufacturer. Most run their MY changes in April - July.

The last letter before the final 6 digits is country of origin. For example, using my Volkswagen knowledge...

3 Door Golf GTI WVWZZZ1KZ7W****** - is built in Germany.
5 Door Golf GTI WVWZZZ1KZ7U****** - is built in South Africa.

Codes can be found at the site below.

Got an update on the delivery of my Honda... man its still about 20 days away :-(

Does anyone know if there is a Downloadable owners manual for the 2007 civic sport so I can have a bit of a read. If its regarded as a copyright infringment don't worry about it.. don't want to cause any trouble.
