I haven't seen the new place as yet but I guess I will see it soon enough
$260 for the first service, seems ok I guess considering its 15000km, would have spent more on servicing my 200sx considering its a 5000km service interval instead. How do you guys feel about leaving a turbo car for so long without changing oil though? I know I kinda feel abit paranoid since im not used to doing that.
I forgot to mention I got the tint as well, the darkest legal one so thats 30% or something? I kinda liked the look of the windows untinted though with the blue tinge and all but I know the heat will get to me eventually.
I test drove the manual and DSG at Parramatta its closer to my place, felt kinda bad considering the fact that I test drove it there but didnt buy it from there but at the end of the day business is business, they just weren't willing to negotiate as much. The DSG was nice but I just couldnt get used to shifting without a clutch but I know I'll regret it when im in peak hour traffic, and Im gonna miss that launch control! Tony offered me a test drive which was pretty good considering Five Dock wouldn't let me test drive it without putting down a deposit, Parramatta was the same till I came back a second time. I just made sure to tell myself that if they're not willing to take my business seriously then I'll go elsewhere where they won't screw me around.
AJW - I just put my car for consigment just over the weekend at a car dealer in Five Dock to see how I go with it. Theres no money to pay to leave the car there, they're quite interested in buying my car but I just don't wanna let it go for such a low price. Just tell them how much you want for the car and they'll try to sell it for you and keep whatever they manage to sell on top of your price that you asked. If after the weekend I still have no luck then I might take it to VW to see what they'll give me for it and take the highest offer from there.
If it all works out well you might want to do the same but it really depends on how desperate you are to sell. Im hoping it works out in the end because selling cars are a headache!
