    Never saw the result of it. Hard to imagine that he did personally.

    I remember the original case; but not the outcome. If he won, I am stunned.

    Surely it is up to the individual to do some research rather than just relying on the salesman's spiel.

    not to sound like a turd agreeing with PP, but i do have to agree with him.

    I feel dealers need to be held responsible for what they tell customers.

    I dont know if $1m was a particularly rational claim, however i feel if the dealer did say "there will not be an upgraded model" and 1 month later there is, they should wear something for missleading you.

    Just like if you buy a car and are told it hasnt had an accident, if you find it has (and its relatively obvious) the dealer should be responsible to some degree.

    but i dont wanna start any arguments.

    good points regarding 4 post being more convenient from a drive on/off perspective

    would have loved one, but room in dads factory was a little tight...and it was bought predominantly for working on the landcruiser. car's only used every few months so he raises it up just a bit to stop the suspension sagging

    definately a PITA lining up the arms each time...and the arms barely fit under my rex as it is...heaven help me if i ever lower it...will need to drive up onto blocks first!

    Yeah but upto this point, there still is no replacement Roadster. I have heard rumours there will be a LP640 Roadster eventually but its way past 18mth point and it prob wouldnt hit Oz till sometime next year some 2yrs later... I dont think a Oz dealer would know about Lambo's HQ plans 24mths ahead?

    (im assuming they were talking about a new roadster model not a new murcielago model).


    The garage I got at the moment is soo low I wouldnt be able to get a hoist, next place tho, def look for a high roof garage to get a hoist :)

    yes but dealers always just tell you what you want to hear, rather than either the truth or saying "i dont know"

    and as for the hoist, where i want to put it is not a particularly high roof (about 2.4m, but i intend to put a new cieling in the garage which will be pitched inside so that it will maximise the height, and that way if i put the car in the centre of the hoist i should be able to get it almost full height :)

    my ceiling is 3.2M high and at full extension the BMW just misses the roof

    I'm looking for a new house now with a high ceiling in the garage but none to be seen :(
