My new car...

This in BLACK !
After months and months of thinking and re-thinking, i finally put down a deposit for my new car YESTERDAY!
I'll be picking up my car in June.. =) YAY ! Can't wait !!

Car salesmans nowadays don't seem as pushy as those a couple of years ago. No doubt, they can talk & talk & talk.... i was stuck in the one place for 2.5 hours! Is that normal? hehe
Suprisingly thou, when i was in Honda@Eastwood, i was debating whether to get the sports Civic or the standard VTi, the salesman was convincing me not to get the sports.. he said it was not worth it ( and if i was to get the sports, might as well get the basic Euro) and told me he can refer me to get any extras that the sports came with, to get it done elsewhere for less than half the price! I was pretty suprised... but in my head, i was thinking .. I bet he gets commission from his referrals too ! hahha =) He sounded honest & truthful.. i guess this must be their tactics nowadays !

Then i went to the Honda in Homebush & they offered me a way better deal, reduced the price a little & then threw in a couple of extras !

In case you dont know, i dont know much about cars, thanks to my bro who came wif me!

The salesman at Homebush was funny. He was reluctant to reduce the price & had to keep ringing his boss (where his boss was just about to step into a nightclub at 4.30pm on a Sunday arvo~). He dug out some of the contracts that his clients have signed a bought a car on that day too, just to prove to me that Honda is reluctant to reduce the price on the civics because they are so high in demand atm. mmh.. Talk about privacy laws hey? but anyways, on the contract, they really did not reduce the price ... i was suprised. The salesman kept saying, if you bought a Euro, i could reduce the price by about $4,000, and i was like.. ummh.. im not buying a Euro thou..haha... anyways, we still managed to get a pretty good deal out of him !!

hehe... can't wait to pick up my new car now... kekeee =P
