AUTOLOUD goes car shopping-Part 2
September 21st 2008 13:39
For AUTOLOUD, public transport is a new and shocking experience.
Brisbane Buses run when they feel like it and timetables become irrelevant, because if there is a connecting bus, you will either be 45 minutes early or it will have just left!
This is only a short term problem though. I am still on the hunt for a vehicle. I have looked at e-bay but that’s probably not the best way to buy a car, in fact it is one of the dearest. I have to admit I did see a Suzuki Cappuccino on there the other day that certainly looked cheap, but two days later with three days to go the price had trebled!
Auctions really don’t excite me, having been on that side of the fence, I know how they work.
I have looked at a “Kahdo”. This is a new system which provides you with a subsidised lease vehicle (Toyota Yaris)which is covered in advertising wrap. It is relatively cheap and gets you into a brand new motor for a year. We shall wait and see!
I have been scanning the classified ads, why I don’t know, because there is no such thing as a bargain anymore, members of the public generally try and sell their vehicles for more money than dealers “Just how much warranty does this come with?”
AUTOLOUD has to be honest; I have even considered a Ford Capri. Not the nice English version, but the Australian built Mazda 323 based convertible. Okay, you can stop laughing! Heres why; this is probably the cheapest way into a convertible that I know of, it’s got Mazda oily bits (not a bad thing!) and if you fiddle with them they look okay!
I cant believe I just said that!
