Hi there, this isnt something I would normally do, but am so keen to pick this new car up this afternoon.
After test drives, its just a wonderful car. Bought the 09 SX petrol model - would have liked SLX, but $$$ came into it, and after all one of the sales guys said if you can cross three things of the list (like cruise, chrome handles.etc... ) dont need to spend the extra! So SX it is.
Hope I can learn some things from this forum. Great to see such a club!
Am wanting to get one of the IPOD connector cables though - does anyone know much about these? Do I spend $120 (A$) from a dealer, or buy from ebay?
Thanks
Nick

Welcome Nick!

Which colour are you getting? Tis an important question. ;D

I bought the iPod cable as part of the car deal - I think it was roughly $100. Ultimately I guess it depends on how much you're willing to pay for the cable. Personally, I wouldn't buy one from eBay, but that's because eBay and I are not friends! (there's always something wrong with what I purchase, so I've given up.)

Glad to hear that you're keen about getting your car. Your enthusiasm shouldn't wane! :D

Maybe it's just me, but colour is always an important question when it comes to cars - and lots of other things to!

what color, it is not just an important question but the only question my wife asked before buying the car. I told her to pay for the extra color, but she said that it wasn't her car. So, i picked a vivid "pay-back-your-wife" color (aka white) and saved some € too.
