Post by: i30Dave on June 16, 2008, 11:16:33: Left Perth at the beginning of last week. Was told that unless
something goes wrong i'd have it by the weekend. It is now
Monday night and no word. Tomorrow will be the end of my patience.

I'M PAYING FOR A CAR I DON'T EVEN HAVE YET :shock:

Interesting that it is coming from Perth. Someone else suggested Hyundai drop cars in Perth of the ship and then freight them across to Adelaide. I thought that strange at the time, but you have confirmed it.

All the info from the dealer at the time we got ours suggested ours was dropped off in Adelaide.

Bob are you able to confirm this with your dealer. LeeUm's post suggests that they are. Very confusing
Title: Re: i30 Dave's New Car
Post by: ouri30 on June 16, 2008, 13:03:44: Dave,

Bit confusing, I admit. As I am going past the dealer tomorrow I will pop in and ask if I have time.

Post by: Mullet on June 16, 2008, 13:25:56: The ships unload in about 8 to 10 hours , havibg a ship tied up in port is big bucks . Would imagine customs would take 1 to 2 days ? Then from Fremantle port onto a truck to holding yard 1 day . Probaly the another day from holding yard to train freight yard , then onto S.A , 3 days . Of train onto a truck to a holding yard in Adelaind . From holding yard to dealer ? . It took my dealer 10 days to bring my car from the holding yard in Perth to Mandurah 60 klm south go figure. W.A = wait awhile . I would ask to see some paper work on the cars where abouce .It should all be tracked some how like parcel post.

Title: Re: i30 Dave's New Car
Post by: Shamanix on June 21, 2008, 10:44:44: I think they are giving 2 keys with remote now with new cars, at last over here in Croatia..

When I drove test car this week I saw there ware 2 keys on the keyring like on the picture above..

It seems there ware too much complaints so they changed their politics about remote keys..

BTW... nice car Dave

Post by: awj2005 on June 21, 2008, 13:04:21: dave, is your dashmat off an elantra or something like that cause it looks very similar to mine and i found out mines off an elantra.
Title: Re: i30 Dave's New Car
Post by: i30Dave on June 21, 2008, 13:12:11: It's a genuine i30 one, but the Elantra dash is the same shape.

Post by: Shambles on June 22, 2008, 10:45:24: Toptastic

I'd get that Stillwell sticker off the rear window as it's reflected by the spoiler
Title: Re: i30 Dave's New Car
Post by: Dazzler on June 22, 2008, 10:47:21: The car Still (looks) well but...
Title: Re: i30 Dave's New Car
Post by: i30Dave on June 22, 2008, 10:48:18: Will order my personalised plates this week. Still going with DAV 130.
Stillwell sticker will be soon replaced with "Owners Club" decal.
Title: Re: i30 Dave's New Car
Post by: Dazzler on June 22, 2008, 10:51:08: Those standard plates look pretty neat (if it were me I'd keep them and spend the $$$ on some other improvement
Title: Re: i30 Dave's New Car
Post by: i30Dave on June 22, 2008, 10:56:28: What more can i do to it (apart from exhaust). It's an SR . I've got new dash and floor mats.
Cargo liner, 17" alloys, window tinting, new headlight globes & bodykit.

Sun-roof could be an option in the future.
Title: Re: i30 Dave's New Car
Post by: Dazzler on June 22, 2008, 11:17:53: Yeah Good point but the plates are still pretty neat as they are...

Post by: ouri30 on June 22, 2008, 12:25:37: Those plates would be great on an SX version. Nice looking car Dave. I shall keep my eye open for it. Let us, regardless of the plates you have.

Bob

Post by: Hemmi on June 22, 2008, 12:37:13: looking good, I'd take the white plate.
