from the RRP (in NSW) the lux navi auto is only 10-11k more than the standard auto. If you compare to the MY08, then it wont be fair...

EDIT: from RRP in NSW, Standard auto to Lux Auto diff: $9k-ish. Lux Auto to Lux Navi auto diff is $2k-ish

I reckon is a pretty good deal for Lux Navi for 48500 with some accessories included.

Given Lux Navi is 3000 dearer than Lux, comparatively 45500 is a really great deal for MY10 Lux Auto.

As mentioned by denot, go for it if it is a MY10 model. If you are looking for a sportier appearance, jimlee008 advice is great, go for the Modulo Kit, or upgrade yourself with Mugen kit.

All the best.

Paint Protection is a scum. I got my Tint done by Tint-a-car cost $350 using mid-night express.. they get the whole rear window done as well.

If it is black, make sure u tell them not to polish it. The car dealer use the same cloth for all their car, it leave swril marks... :-(

Buy a clean microfirbe chamois to wash and clean your Car. That would look magnificant

Thanks for the handy advice all...

Deal's done... Picking up the car next Tuesday or Wednesday.

I think we'll look at aftermarket tint and protection providers as the dealer's costs are quite high in comparison.

Cheers!

wot? isnt the navi meant to be only $2k more than the luxi auto.

i only paid $43k for my luxi auto and i got tint, metallic paint, mats and spoiler. plus 5 year warranty and roadside assist. driveaway, rego etc.

so seeing as how the only difference should be like the navigation plus the bluetooth, which should be at most $3k more, why is he paying $48k... or am i missing something here. does it make that much of a difference 09/10 plate?

i paid $1k more than my friend cause of the economy at the time, but even if i got it for $42k id still feel cheated and wish asked for full body kit. Their margin is ridiculously high.

U shudve gone to another dealership and see if they can beat it lol.

So conclusion: yep you did missed a lot of things here...

so bloody true!!! never ever trust dealer to wash the car. Last time they wash my car (complementary), I've notice that they only hose it and wipe straight away. what a bunch of idiots

Just FYI

My dealer quoted me $38500 MY10 base AUTO driveaway. (with extended warranty + 5 yrs roadside assistant, tinting, floor mat, full tank fuel, rear sensor, metallic)

Assuming fancy paint, that's $3,315 less than the recommended selling price ($41,815) in Sydney which doesn't include the extras you quoted above. The dealer cost price is $28,323.75 so their margin is a good $10,000. But they have to pay their fixed costs out of this (rent, interest, power, water, wages, commissions, political bribes, violins playing in background, etc).
