Not sure if this has been posted, but I found it humorous.

Maybe she could get the asking price by keeping her trap shut! :D

Would you buy that car for $40,000 after reading what she has to say...:confused:

Would you pay $40,000 for a similar Astra without the problems, no way...

In the words of The Castle; "Tell Her She's Dreamin"

I dont think she is going to sell it, just making others aware of her problems and what some may encounter with the TS Convert.

But GL with the sale. :p

i think its done to spite GMH.

I've had a few issues with my Astra and have complained to the Dealership (spoken to the D.P.) and then took it further to GMH with a 3 page complaint. End result, the matter is between myself and the dealership. Obviously I'm still furious over my issues and GMH cannot do a thing. So I can feel how she feels regarding not being a happy customer. :mad:

Oh, my Astra is fine, it's the service I was expecting is kinda of "lacking" you could say. :rolleyes:

So what better way than to broadcast it to get it rectified. All makes do have the occasional lemon, obviously her's was built on a Friday afternoon.

Is that right what she says in the "advert" that holden have never replaced a new car??

Cant you just reject a car after giving the seller a chance to repair it and it not then coming up to scratch?

not as far as i know, i think the australiain laws leave it up too the manufacturer, and also state something about giving them every oppourtunity to fix the car...

which means even if it takes them a year to get one thing right, they can legally do it.

This correct and unfortunately it's what happens most of the time :(

Although it dosn't seem to happen as much with some of the Jap makes...
