I would not say the other one was better. I dont need a reverse camera (Have used them before and I still need to turn my head) and GPS's go out of date very quickly to the point it looks like you have a Playstation 1 in your car. It was not as immaculate as the one I got as well.

I traded in my troublesome magna for 3 grand. A good price considering the rego is due in a month and it had minor transmission and ECU problems. I also haggled a grand off him so it went down to $23,000. I'm quite happy with the result.

That's why I put the word better in quotation marks. Is the car with you now? Hopefully they put a full tank in it before handing the keys to you.

Get it a good wash and polish and we hope to see photos of it soon.

Cheers

Good job on the full tank, bro. In fairness, it looks actually neat for a half-decade-old car, but that Ralliart badge on the lower left front grille needs to go.

Congrats on the new car. Agree the badge is a bit lairy, the DRLs on the other hand are a wonderful fit - don't look cheap and tacky like every other aftermarket DRL you see.

With a rapidly growing list of RA owners in Lidarland, it would be great to see all of these cars together.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, it looks like that badge needs to go. You should have seen the interior. It has some dodgy stickers I had to remove. Now it looks a lot better.

At least it's just cheesy stick-ons that can be easily removed, not cr@ppy mods that wear out the car more quickly.
