swordfish 30 Report post Posted August 29, 2011 Wow man! What happened? Why are you selling it so fast? Great example! Can vouch for it! Good luck with a sale! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwolf 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2011 Righto - no longer for sale. Parents have decided they could do with a better car - and are a bit annoyed I didn't offer it to them first. So that means I'll be able to take it for a spin over xmas. Plus gave me an excuse to drive all the way up to Hamilton Old Taupo Road. Just a suggestion for anyone else taking the trip.

darkwolf 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2011 BUMP - BACK UP FOR SALE! Parent's have changed mind. I'm not annoyed about the drive up to Hamilton to deliver the car to them, but I am annoyed about having to drive back in a PoS 1.5L Auto Nissan Pulsar that couldn't keep up with trucks on hills. Anyway, bitterness aside. Car is for sale again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkwolf 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) It's cliche but it's all about how you drive it. I can and regularly do get around 12.5l/100KM around town. It's not great but then it never was going to be. If you drive aggressively you can keep it above 20L/100KM. A good drive up to Hamilton averaged 11.2L/100KM and in the 45,000KM I drove it the car averaged 14.2L/100KM. This is largely due to the fact that I do a lot of short 80/100 KM/H roads. You manage to reach 80/100 and cruise at that speed for 15s or so. Edited September 12, 2011 by DarkWolf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkwolf 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2011 Oh man, thats too cheap!!!! Hope you get more for it fella. Yeah I wanted to get more for it but this car is in Morrinsville because the parents wanted it. I'm in Christchurch driving a 2.0L 3 speed plus overdrive auto that is sucking out the marrow from my soul. I need something that engages me to when I drive it. After owning this car I can't find anything to suit. I have my eye on something but I need to sell her to do it. Therefore, I had to lower my price to something ridiculous to save my soul. IN SHORT: SOMEONE BUY NOW! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
