Default Got my AU back....id rather the camry rental car

ok for anyone that doesnt already know, search for "farewell au falcon"

anyways got it back today, didnt sleep last night....now i wish i did and it was still 10pm

saw my car in the back lot...at least it was in the shade, thought yes it looks new... and new rims and tyres

had bit of a chat...rar rar rar....saw my car, guy explained everything they did.....i asked for my tickford snorkle (few big holes)...he kept it for me LOL

anyways i got in the car and it was a bit dusty but i just wanted it back..... power steering is making whirring noises AGAIN, clutch feels jerky... handles like a boat...with the sports suspension it would stick like glue for what it is, now youd have the turning circle of a truck

the road is noticably bumpier, and alot of vibration in the car
the indicator stalk feels like its glued down
handsfree is STILL broken off the bracket
remote wasnt fixed
and colour coded the grill.....jeez
AU airbox instead of the BA one.....jeez thats an ugly looking thing
and standard crappy snorkle
and took 6 weeks or so
oh and brakes stop...eventually

good points
new mag and tyres..even gave me the old one
nice paint job except for the run
exterior was cleaned.....mostly
new aircon comp
new drive belt

now, it has to go back again and fix every little detail
and i dont care if you think i shouldnt complain, you spend 20k CASH of your money on a car, have some idiot not giveway, spend $1200-1500 on rental cars, then get a car that feels it was stolen, driven into a wall and all the parts pulled out and straightened....then tell me about it

anyways im soo angry right now... more at aami then the repairers....its not their fault they were told to fix a car that should be at the wreckers right now, with a stat write off sticker on it
