Anyone bought. 2.7 or 3.0 this month and willing to share the pricing available?

You could almost start a thread on this topic. I have been into the melbourne showroom twice in the past six months, not recently during the sales and both times I would not say they were busy. So it takes 10 minutes for anyone to come up to me and ask if I have any questions, I ask a few then he asks if there is anything else, I say I don't think so and he walks off sits at his desk a few meters away from where I was with the car and starts texting on his phone.

If only he knew if he had actually asked some questions himself, he would have established why I was looking, and some more questions and sales technique may have got a test drive and pen to paper.

Unfortunately it was not a one off with he first time no one coming up to me whatsoever ever so after 15 minutes I walked out.

If my sales team operated in other way these guys do they would be shown the door. I have to laugh when they say the car industry is doing it tough. I think it just comes down to Australia in general and our poor customer service across a number of industries. Some do it well, but unfortunately it's far from he norm.

Try buying a car in the UK, quite an unbelievable experience........

Well if any of you 3.0L six speed D4 owners want to have a fire sale of your D4's so you can get a new 8 speed when they first come out give me a call. I think I can handle having a D4 that does an extra couple of litres per 100 k's.
