After three weeks of the VXR8

[nickwaiheke]

After three weeks of the VXR8, I have gone out today and bought a third car I really don't have much confidence in its reliability
I did over 130k in the CV8 and never felt like that

I'm sure it's just crazy or just the different feel of it but I parted with quite a bit of extra finance today assuming the worst going forward

Suspect it is just down to some of the odd things emerging that the previous owner kept silent on

Still fun to drive if I manage to avoid the potholes !

I hope I'm wrong and probably will be great but just quite a few minor bits which were not mentioned nor did I pick up on
New battery dead a year later. 4 days after picking up!
New shocks dead a year later
Squeaky belts even with new ones on but of course car was subtley warmed up before I arrived
On or off stereo depending on potholes
Washer bottle disconnected
Its all minor really
Just was used to the other one being very robust

Great fun though the SC and auto box go well together though and massive thumbs up from the kids in terms of space and the DVD player

And of course lucky it's in the fastest colour

Well the good news is the third car is only a couple of weeks off as the aircon failing today was added to the list to be fixed

Just as well natures air con is working!
