Early NC owner SW of Sydney? Want to help me out?

Postby Rob » Thu Dec 11, 2014 3:00 pm

Hey there folks,

Does someone with an early NC (2005/06) who lives out south/west of Sydney have time for me to drop by your house or some mutually convenient location (eg: the local Macca's), to have a sit in your car?

The reason? Simple. I want to test the legroom in an NC and, rather than go to a car yard and BS my way into doing it, I'd rather meet another fan and spend 10 minutes tops in the seat to check it out.

NB: I don't want to actually drive the car; just size it up inside.

No immediate rush on this. Happy to do it any time.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Not putting people off but a dealer is in the business of presenting cars and sitting in it etc is not inconveniencing them- they are paid for being there. Same goes for a test drive and bear in mind that many people today buy cars from dealers because pricing is often very good and its more convenient for buyers. You are not likely to buy any car without driving one anyway.

Sure, but I'm just not interested in talking to a dealer and pretending I want to buy something when all I want to do is get a feel for its internal dimensions at this stage.

I can't stand car dealers, even when I want to buy something off them. I just need five to ten minutes, in and out, done.
