Correct Rocket...

Thought i'd seen the number plate before:
Sept 2008 review on this exact car!! DEF NOT A MY09!! Same numberplate

Plus the radio is the MY08 base model.


hehe...at least it's sort of famous!!!!

Cheers,

Jayse.

Yup, not MY09. Ad states warranty until Jul 2011, so first registered in July 08, which would make it at the latest a May 08 build car. Confirmed by the stereo as Jayse has said, and the red MFD.

Damn liars! I hate dealers sometimes. That's definitely NOT a MY09!

Let's give em the benefit of the doubt and call it a typo.

[Autopia]

All your comments and suggestions have been helpful, welcome and funny.

Settled on a 09 Accord Euro Luxury Nav auto in Pearl White.

Optioned it with;
Sill Garnish Set
Accent Lighting
9 Piece Highlight Set
iPod Interface
Floor Mats
Boot Hooks
Sports Pedal Set
Sports Steering Wheel

Added a CAI, high flow cat and custom exhaust from JTune. 20% tint all round. 6 monthly detailing from Final Inspection.

It all came in under $55K.

Should have it by late September (employer has to dispose of my company car first).

Cheers
Sean

Very Nice! Sure, you'll love it all the same. Load up some pics when you get it.

BTW, I'm picking up my Passat Wagon today. 125 TDI in Candy White. We've been waiting for 5 months! The day has finally arrived.

Congrats on the arrival. Post some pics.

Congrats Autopia, I'm sure you'll enjoy it - they are a well put together car. My R36 arrived in Brisbane yesterday, so only a couple of weeks to wait now...

How soon can you get your vehicles VIN after ordering?

Ahh, just like an expectant father.
Don't forget some pics when you bring her home.

[Swallowtail]

Ditto re the pics!

[firefly]

Congrats mate - and sorry to hear about having to pull out of getting the R36 (I haven't been on here for a while).
But...you followed your head, and know that your decision will equate to a very substantial saving down the track - well done!

I'm sure you'll love the Accord - very comfortable and quality piece of kit!

Where did it say MY09? Otherwise the ad's been updated...

[Swallowtail]

They've changed it LOL... someone must have picked them up on it. Either that or they are watching this discussion...

[Rocket36]

They changed it... I submitted an online enquiry. Told them it wasn't a "demo". It was a used car as it had been used by journalists etc and that it wasn't a MY08.



So it's now an EX factory demo.
