mattyb Donating Members 1,097 Member For: 16y 5m 28d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast, QLD Posted 02/12/10 11:40 AM Share Posted 02/12/10 11:40 AM I picked up my new car yesterday. January 2010 turbo territory ghia, ex demo from metro ford, $55k, but cos I got it on a lease, I got it with no GST so it came in at a tad under $49k. Missed out on the 3K cash back cos I was gonna trade my car, then cancelled the trade, and lost out on the $3000 cash-back... it gets worse, but more on that later!The TT... Well... IT sh*tS ON MY BF!!! Handles better, awd is so great, has awesome punch off the line, stereo is sweet, all the bells and whistles make driving sooooo much more enjoyable than the povo pack that the xr had. And it hauls!!!Now about the bad stuff...The purchase was a little overshadowed by the ass raping I copped in selling my Toxic Bf1. Ended up letting it go for $17850, you guys know what it had done to it. Basically, I drove it down to brissy for the sale which was advertised on carsales as $18500, and on here as $18000 (with the purchaser to arrange pick-up, or I would deliver for cost of fuel) I was aware that there may be some negotiating, but I'd dropped the car from an overpriced $23k, to a worth while $21k, and for a quick sale moved it down to $18.5k firm so I could get this car NOW. Got there and the guy buying it had a panel beater with him, and went through the car, turns out there was a plug missing from the spare wheel well, an inch long crack in some of the sealant ford put over the join in the sheet metal in the boot. There was a small dent in the lhs sbove the rear wheel arch where a ball had hit it that I was going to get pulled out but with all the rain up here the panel beaters are pressed for time. And I could feel a 'wobble' in the rear on the free way, so I offered to pay for a balance and alignment (turns out that even my brand new territory has a wobble driving on the freeway, get it on a normal road and it's fine). Anyway, I get down there, offer the money for the balance/alignment, and expect a reasonable $18350. The guy said he only brought $18k cash, as that all I asked for on the ford forum (he's a non-frequent member here), then he offers $17500, I said nope and could feel myslef being bent over as I was now in the predicament of having a new car in a showroom upstairs, and this guy playing the fact I couldn't take the car and stick the deal in his...... anyhow... I said $18k, possibly $17.9k, but I'd have to speak to my wife, I rang a couple of mates that work in the mines up here who live in brissy but they were all on shift, so I couldn't pull out of the deal and park the car at theirs, I offered to budge to $17.9k and after telling me how he wanted to stick his nice 20 inch wheels on the car if he bought it, he said "$18k minus the $150 for the balance and alignment, $17850, take it of leave it"... I got f*cked!!! lol. I made the mistake of including in the sale, the personalised plates, the 16psi actuator and flapper I didn't have fitted. Even worse they tried to screw me saying the road worthy was only valid for 3 months OR 1000k's and I"D NEED TO PAY FOR A NEW ONE!!! now for those who are anaware, MY WIFE WORKS FOR QLD TRANSPORT, I CALLED HER AND IT'S 2000K'S OR 2 MONTHS, THIS WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM, SO I HAD TO CALL THE MOB THAT DID THE ROAD WORTHY AND GET THEM TO VARIFY THAT MY WIFE, WHO I CALLED AT WORK, AT QLD TRANSPORT, WAS NOT LYING, COS $67 IS WORTH HER CAREER!!!Anyhow, I'm a big believer of karma, what goes around comes around, sorry but it does, lol. I have a nice new car, with warranty, a fuel card, and new for old replacement. He's got a car I pumped countless amounts of money into, a 15000km old fg f6 short motor in it, a 5000km old process west stage 3 kit with race air box, tranny certified and serviced 5000km ago, new dba brake rotors and pads 2000km ago, and countless hours on the dyno... all in the 30000km's I've had the car... but I still wouldn't trade my turbo terry for it, no way!!!END RANT... pheeeeewwwwww.
