Ok u lot, need some help. Kathryns car (hyundai) was hit up the Ars last friday and pushed into the one in front, written off. she isnt doing so well either,with neck,back and chest injuries.
We need to get something else...laser,mondeo,corolla,the medium size.BUT must have power steering and she wants an auto.
If anybody knows of something and/or suggestions, we will greatly apreciate your input.
cheers tony

bloody hell Tony, your having a bad run with family injuries atm, hope Kathryn has a speedy recovery.
as for a car are you going for new or 2nd hand & what sort of price range, you can't go an XR5 as they only come in manual, the lower model focus's are quite good for safety & price

Hey Tony,

So sorry to hear about your dramas. Life isn't very fair - believe me....I know! I had huge empathy with the doggy drama - I have 4 show dogs and the vet bills to match - and a car I would sacrifice anything for.

You know I am the Business Manager for Suzuki In The City in Adelaide, so if you need a hand with a new car please contact me. I still have strong contacts for Ford as well....plus BMW...yeh, right!!! If you are looking for a used car, my cousin owns 2 large used yards in Melbourne and he would help as soon as I pick the ph up and mention "mate".

Let me know.

Regards
Gaela
