    Hey guys!

    Afternoon to you all.

    Pretty much I'm here because I've just been shafted up the arse by my Holden dealer. I just moved up to an Astra CD Wagon from an Astra Classic Hatch (the new arrival in the family needed a bit more space for all her stuff!). I went back to the same dealer, thinking my loyalty would pay dividends. Turned out the build plate, or should I say build "sticker" from my Classic had mysteriously gone AWOL, and despite coming to an agreement with the dealer, he demanded $2k extra from me at the eleventh hour, 2 minutes before I thought I would be driving out of the lot in my new car, before he would hand the keys over to me. Claimed the lack of build sticker devalued the car by $2000. I should also point out that I bought my Classic brand new from the same dealership 18 months ago!

    Anyway, it's a long story which only gets me angry every time I think about it. I didn't end up coughing up an extra $2k, but I did end up paying a bit more than agreed, just to get finished with them.

    So, not being a big car expert, and to be honest not even knowing there was a build sticker in the car to begin with, I've decided to get a bit interested in what I'm driving. So here I am! Click here to enlarge

    Welcome to OA Rob.
    Sorry to hear about your idiot dealer, but at the end of the day, he's now going to have trouble selling the car, and you have a new one.
    All the best with it, and whatever info you need, its here.
