After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

At Camberwell, booked a test drive of the manual TDI and the salesman wasn't even there when I turned up. Also booked a test drive for the manual TSI and was made to wait an hour as another salesman had double booked their only car in stock. They would not budge on pricing at all. Never received any follow up calls.
South Yarra on the other hand were fantastic. The salesman I dealt with was great - a lot of follow up calls but no pressure at all and offered me what I thought was such a great price that I bought from him.
We are getting a new family car,and after much looking over the past 3 weeks,have deceided on a Passat 2.0 125 TDI Highline wagon.
I have dealt with and visited many of the dealerships in Melbourne,but are going to buy this vehicle within the next 5 days from South Yarra.
Their deals are just the best.............
