  1. For the number plate to be changed is a result of either the original/previous number plate is old and unclear to be seen or the car was sold at a state where the car doesn't originate where a new plate needs to be used. If the car was repaired after an accident, wouldn't the original plate number be reused even though a new plate is required?
  2. That's right Kenshin. Also, you have have to consider the load rating and whether that car is suitable to run on those tyres or not. I assume that the load rating will be different due to the tyre size difference. Otherwise, there's no major problem when using tyres of that size.
  3. That's interesting stuff you guys had brought up. I wonder myself whether that corolla is the only one which has the problem in this nation. I'm glad to hear that you escaped that incident unharmed.
  4. last time i got my car serviced under the service advantage a courtesy car was provided for me. firstly, i asked the receptionist if a car will be available for me to use during the service and they asked whether car car was purchased at that dealer or not, and it was. therefore, i'm guessing that they will not provide you with a courtesy car unless you've bought your car from their dealership.
  5. Damn, does that car look good.
  6. and what were you trying to do behind it?:P
  7. The price at which the dealer was after is fairly reasonable, since it's a dealer sale. Go to carsguide.com or carsales.com and go to the valuation or specs page to have a fair idea of how much the car should worth. that should help you with your purchase.
  8. instead of being ripped off by mechanics, you can do the services yourself. changing the motor oil, oil filter and other necessary stuff shouldn't be too hard. doing so saved me a decent bit of money with my old car. all you need something to lift the front end of the car up so maybe car stands, an oil wrench, oil and oil filter for normal services. easy.
  9. when the air cons on, are you using fresh air or recycled air? bringing fresh air often causes odours to be present.
  10. Things like that aren't exactly popular here in Australia. The Fast and the Furious craze didn't last too long. aren't they illegal here though?
  11. man, your car looks exactly the same as mine-your's in silver ash right? does it have a moonroof?

  12. i extend my thoughts to those who are effected by the floods across Australia, especially in QLD. i don't expect you guys to see this message(most of you don't have electricity anymore)

  13. my car's first scheduled service was done 1 month after the schedule. i asked the dealer if i could have it done in 1 or 2 more months since it hasn't travelled much (only 8000km thereabouts) and they said it would cost me more since it won't be covered under the service advantage. didn't ask if it affects the warranty or not.
  14. wow, i wonder how its a BIG engine.lol...its only about 100cc bigger than the engine in the current camrys. it's not that big is it?
  15. your aurion is almost identical as mine (mine's in silver and has a sunroof as well), but its a pre-facelift? congrats though on the purchase.
  16. not really i would say. it's good that your thinking about the environment.:P
  17. what's the point of having a new model when it looks something like its predecessor?did the salesman go through the specs of each car?
  18. don't think i will see you unless you come down here to melb-i never go to bendigo.
  19. oh well, it's still a good looking car though.
  20. awesome!great creation by toyota since the supra.
  21. didn't cruise control exist on any other model in the corolla range for the function to not be covered in the owner's manual?
  22. driving in the metro area with stop start traffic often makes the engine drink more. 10-11lt/100km seems respectable for me considering it's an auto not a manual(manual helps in fuel economy). my aurion gets around 14lt/100km per tank if driving in the city.
  23. lol, i'm sure your not the only one in that situation.
  24. is there a thread for queen of the hill? i know there's not many female members in this club, but it would seem a bit sexist not to have one dedicated to them.
