Default Car sold big thank you and farewell

Hi all, its a very sad day for me. Had to trade in the XR8 for a mid sized SUV. Missus had difficulties getting in and out of the XR. I want to thank you all for the posts and advice. This is by far the best resource for the home mechanic. A very very big thanks

We bought a CX5 Sports Maxx AWD 2.5 ltr (Wife liked the colour (Red)). Mind you I quite like the colour as well. It least Mazda is owned by Ford. They gave me a good trade in and discount so changeover was $31,500 which is not bad for a $40,000car. And your right, I think I will still keep lurking around.

Well if you call 2.1% owned.

Good luck in your new car, but I don't think you'll ever stop thinking about another AU...
