Westfield do own it, just checked.

You mean the Westfield mall? Westfield will own it from memory. The council seems to have decided they can go on private land such as car parks for ticketing, they do it in the CBD. I would have thought you could argue the point that as you have rented/leased the space, it was no longer public, but private and they could sod off, but who knows?

A client had one of these, got 270-280kms per tank, curious to see how you go. I think you'll enjoy it anyway.

Is that even a council ticket? Or a parking services or whatever they call themselves? If the latter, ignore it.

He should be taken outside and beaten. Techno violet is the only colour I'd want.

Must have made an impression, you remembered it.

The Mothers plastic Polish will work a treat on the window. Try Mercedes for the cloth top, they should have something decent and not usually that expensive. Try and get the hood up and stretched out, they're not supposed to be down for extended periods.

It's two years old, not new.

Was cheap, $52.9k.

I noticed with interest that (I think) JCBMW had a 2012 F30 318d in manual for sale. Sold in a week, must be some demand then?

Good support and loyalty from the dealer/manufacturer then. There's a guy who has spent $400k plus on new cars and one faults just out of service, "Sorry, that's your problem".I forgot, on a known problem as well.

228kms isn't insurmountable, 228kms for near $30k is. Very low $20s or very high teens and I'd consider it. Assuming the suspension isnt flogged out. And applying my discount for lack of manual.

One thing to think about Geoff is the expense of running a bear engine. From what I understand, they run best on salmon and berries, neither of which are cheap.

$50-60k, not that you'd catch me paying that for it.

It's been for sale for years

Same year as the M Power 318i auto.

What he said. I lived in Hataitai, great spot, close to town, but not in it. Can walk home pissed through the bus tunnels and there's (or was) a good local pub. Still need a coat.

I lived in Wellington for 20 years, take a coat. And some merino.

Buy a coat.

The amount of revenue from cars has never been spent on roads in full. Lots of it goes on subsidising public transport, you should see the subsidies on ferry's, would truly make your eyes water.

Work out what you think is a realistic budget and then apply the 3x rule. 3 times as expensive. 3 times as hard. 3 times as long.

If you're paying the same tax as petrol cars, sure.

That was awesome, good to see some passion!

Is that awful looking badge in front of the gear lever standard? Jesus, I couldn't pull it off fast enough, otherwise, it looks cheap at face value.
