Kris sold off his Landrover Discovery.Yeah... last Friday, he took the day off to get his cracked windscreen changed for free (it was in his warranty). Oh, why cracked? Well, it was already cracked slightly when he first bought it 16months ago. But we helped his friend, Les, from the country Meckering to tow his car back to Perth to get a new engine fitted... and that cracked the windscreen from top to bottom!!
Anyway, right after we picked up the car, we went to this caryard called DVG on Albany Hwy in Maddington. Never had we experienced such bad attitude from car salespeople before!! SHEESH!!
And the car was old & extremely used & stuff were missing from the body and they were selling it for $14,999. The dashboard was all broken & chattering throughout the test drive!! Kris actually had to press on it while he was driving!!! And there was something terribly wrong with the transmission & when u revved it up, it lurched & jerked!! Anyway, they had such a terrible deal & they didn't even want our money... Sooooo.... it's ok... cos we actually found a better place!!
Cannington Auto Wholesale on Albany Hwy in Cannington has one of the best services around!! And their cars are even better!! We got an imported 7-seater 1994 Mitsubishi Delica & we're the first in australia to use it!! It was only used for 52,000km & the interior still smelt like a new car... while the other car at DVG already had like 196,000km!! And we bought our 'new' car with all accessories attached plus some for $10K after trading in the Landrover!! We paid for it & drove home with it... leaving our beloved Discovery behind... it was quite emotional cos I loved that car!!
C'est la vie... everyone had to move on... Kris & I just hope that the next person who gets hold of Discovery will take really good care of it as we had done for the past 16 months... ~sniff sniff~
