Haha omg. Out of all the cars. I didn't expect that the Abarth to be legally able to have a tow bar. Shame the missus hates them. The Golf GTI is a much easier sell... https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2019-abarth-595-competizione-manual/SSE-AD-14410329/?Cr=0

I bourght a lightly used Merida eOne Sixty 700 off gumtree for $5000 3 months ago (90kms on the odo). Its been such an awesome new hobby so far. I can fit it in the boot of my Levorg GTS. But I am now looking at selling that and getting a MK7 Golf GTI with a tow bar. It seems like its the only hot hatch that you can actually fit a tow bar on.

Just adding something to this thread. Just got my new NC3 MX5 placed on a truck this morning. CEVA didn't have any discount codes running at the time. But I got into the online chat, said that I was a repeating customer. So they applied 10% off. I might have even been able to get 15% off if I asked. I will try that in the future. Cheers!

I missed out on my perfect RS. That Alien Green Clio III that was for sale recently. I was too slow. And I am sure 99% of people on here would've gone for it they saw it. And I suspect if it ever gets listed again. It wont be the same price as the other Clios.

Here you are sir. Its my fiances. Its a good GT car. Automatic unfortunately. But its Invidia Exhaust sounds great and was a well needed upgrade over the super quiet stock exhaust. I would love to see how the manual feels. It was a good pickup for $14500 with 160000kms on it.

My 2011 Porsche Cayman 2.9L Manual arrived in the mail. My 24th Car in 10 years of having a licence. I ended up using the dealers preferred transport team to try something different. They used "SMB Australia Car Transport". The car arrived with zero damage (only had some bug splatter, lots of dust and a had some muddy water residue on the bonnet - not oil). With SMB you do have to track the car via email or phone call for updates. Their live chat didn't give any responses. The car did arrive 2 days late. Apparently they put the wrong Porsche on the truck originally. Cost: $650 Door to Door - NSW (Castle Hill)>SA (Adelaide Southern Suburbs). Delivery took 2 weeks. I ended up picking it up at their yard on a Friday arvo anyway, I didn't want to wait for a Monday delivery. So it would have been technically been $570 Door>Depot. During hand-over they also didn't ask for my ID or anything when I picked up the car, I just signed away and drove out. Honestly I would probably stick to CEVA for a couple hundred more if you can get the 10% off. The CEVA Car Tracking is better and their trucks are more enclosed I believe. But if you wanted to transport something a bit cheaper. I would recommend them. PS: I will have to update my profile picture.

Here's an interesting one. I am potentially selling a car to a WA buyer. We were both surprised at the difference in costs. Perth>Adelaide = $400-600 Adelaide>Perth = $790-1200

Have done both CEVA and Door to Door Car Carrying (also subcontracts to CEVA). I find CEVA is the best and also has the lowest ground clearance restrictions compared to the other mobs. CEVA also pretty much always has 10% off, which generally beats all competitors. Try the CEVAGET10 coupon code at checkout. (I think that's the code).

Definitely think LY is a selling point. It Gives off that exotic car look. Shop around. This one in SA is only $24000 at a dealer. You could haggle it down more. But expect a bit more depreciation over the next couple of years. https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Renault-Megane-2014/OAG-AD-14803679/?Cr=0 The Megane RB8 is a great one too, I believe its the only pre facelift with Xenons and R Link 2.0 together. Shame it only came in blue.

If your looking at at the facelifted models. The range is much simpler to understand as the original shape has so many variations. Facelifted models are far as I understand: RS 265 Cup RS 265 Cup Premium RS 275 Cup Premium RS 275 Trophy RS 275 Trophy R I am not sure about 100% specifics of each, very minor changes. All face lifted cars have LSDs, the same infotainment system, brembo brakes etc. Standard Cup comes with just the car (Recaros or big leather heated seats being optional). Premiums add recaro, leather and bigger wheels standard. Trophy gives same as premium, but you get alcantara everywhere, titanium exhaust and a small power boost. Its a buyers market at the moment. But it will still depreciate. However if you want to sell in the future, liquid yellow colour, with recaros in premium or trophy spec will be most desirable for reselling.
