  1. Hi Melvin Thanks for the response, Can I bring your attention to web article http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0...5010760,00.html ? What you're saying and what they are saying are vey different. I find it very confusing and hopefully you can clarify it for me. My friend is set on get LPG. Thanks mate Andrew
  2. Hi Dobmit Thanks for the reply. I've been looking out for black cars all day while driving, I don't notice dirt while tail gating them lol Is it really noticable from far? Would someone have a pic of a day of a black aurion? The pictures I'm browsing through looks great. Andrew
  3. Hi guys thanks for the advices. I'll check out car dealers this week and have a chat with them. Melvin Lau, the name sounds familar, he wouldn't be the guy who works in the services dept and owns a corrolla? Andrew
  4. Man I when to test drive a Aurion today, man I loved it. And I love the colour black. I know there are a few people here with a black Aurion here. I was wondering how bad does it get in terms of dirt sticking to it. I was told by the saleman that I would be cleaning the car at least once a week and I'll be wishing that I got a lighter colour!!! Seriously is it that bad? I can imagine that in winter it'll have water marks and in summer the dust would be everywhere. Is it that noticable?? ie can you actually see it from a meter away or only when you are right up next to it. Also beside the things I pointed out what else should I be looking out for? Waiting for your replies eagerly Thanks in advance Andrew
  5. Hi as some of you know, I'm going to purchase a Aurion soon. I was wondering how much of a discount can I get on a fleet discount compare to an individual person haggling for a lower price? And is it different from city to city? I'm in perth, and the prices seem I found on the forum seem to be in the Eastern states and man they look like great prices as well. Actually I'm in the market to buy 2 cars for my business, and a few more in a year or two. So I was wondering also how should I go about asking. Maybe someone can reccommend someone in Perth that can hook me up lol Thanks Andrew
  6. Hi Jons Thanks for your reply. I was wondering why you were asking for the figures. It makes sense what you're saying. I'll probably opt not to have LPG. I'm thinking only to keep the car for three - four years so after going through your calculations it's really not worthwhile to save a few hundred. I have used a Prius before and it sucks power wise and boot space wise. It's been years since i rode a push bike and with the amount of equipment I'm carrying I might as well carry the bike on my back I'll probably move faster. :) perthcamry, I have a corolla now and it's a great car I want a change of scenery. Thanks again everyone that answered. Andrew
  7. Hi guys Thanks for the reply sinan. It makes alot of sense. I got my information here: http://lpgautogas.com.au/index.cfm?action=...=109&Type=R "Mr Coventry said the system produced a five per cent power improvement over conventional air valve and venturi LPG systems and a 50 per cent reduction in operating costs compared with petrol." I'm not sure if I read the statement wrong, I had to admit I'm a newbie when it comes to cars. Jonbays, I'm only curious with LPG because my mate told me to look into it, which I'm doing now, since I'm going to buy a new car for my business. As I explain previously, I do travel alot and require alot of space. Most of the information I have found dates back in 2000 and I wasn't sure if technology has changed within 7 years. The conversion cost is $4400 and the govt will rebate $1000 since it's factory fitted. I do not know how much LPG I would be using, though currently I'm spending over $100/week so I guess over $5200/year on petrol. I understand the govt will add taxes to gas that's in 2015 from memory, why not take advantage of it now? Petrol has taxes put on it, that doesn't stop people using it. I prefer not to get holden or ford, as I have set my heart on the toyota Aurion. I mean, if LPG is getting alot attention because it's so great. It would be silly of me not to look into it, wouldn't it? Andrew
  8. Hi Sinan Thanks for the reply. I thought it would reduce power, I've been reading on the LPG website which claims to increase the power output!! I was wondering where did you get information on reduce life span of an engine? Is it a known thing in the motor industry? I would like to know how much life it actually reduce? (does it half the life of the car?) Thanks again Andrew
  9. Hi Guys I'm going to get a Aurion Prodigy within a few months. I've heard about LPG for a while and I haven't really thought about it, but since I getting a new car I was wondering if it's worthwhile changing it to LPG? And if anyone have taken the step in changing to LPG on an Aurion, can they can put up a few pictures of it. I do travel alot and I require boot space for equpiment for work (mainly boxes of stuff) I've been reading alot of good stuff about it, can anyone tell me the disadvantage of LPG? Thanks Andrew
