$20.4K on road for a manual LX? Yikes - that's around $8K discount! I think I'll consider the Public Service for my next job!

There must be rules about hanging on to such a purchase - otherwise I'd be buying and selling new cars every month if I were you.

Anyway, enjoy the LX, Mess - with that price and that car, you'll be smiling every day.

We picked the car up in Nowra yesterday...the drive home to Canberra was great...up the mountain, the handling and gearshift were outstanding and even in an incredibly severe thunderstorm on the Federal Highway, it was stable and secure.

Since picking it up, we've put about 300 kms on it.

Thanks mate. Gotta go and get the plates today. We've got it for a 5 year lease, plenty of time to enjoy that handling.

Nope, drove it back from Nowra on a transit permit and then took it in for inspection, etc yesterday. Put the plates on last night and we're all set.
