Hello from Montreal! (my first new car)

[callmemister]

Well Hello everyone... just traded in my crappy 16 year old AudiA4 B5 1.8t... for a little white Micra Manual SV. Amazingly after about 90 minutes of negotiating I got 2k as trade-in for that old premium $1.34 gas guzzlers. 2000$ off on a 15k$ car is actually awesome.


Cheers!

Hey, welcome!

I think Montreal may be in the lead in terms of number of forum members.

1.8 turbo to the Micra's 1.6 is a bit of a change! I drove a 1.8t jetta once, about that age and it was fun. A relative of mine still has a 10 year old A4 cabrio... and she spent about $7k on repairs last year!

Any plans for the car? Don't forget to make a garage entry.

My old audi drove from Prince Rupert ( near alaska ) to Montreal twice no problem... a couple months on Quebec roads... and i couldnt keep up with the repair bills ( ABS, Coilsprings, balljoints, Catalizator, Fuel sensors, alignment, Powersteering) everything started going south with each part of the car lol ( most of it still not fixed) can't believe i still got 2k for it lol.

Not much plan for the Micra right now, just window tint, and I'll be getting rid of the terrible radio and putting a Android Tab Nexus 7 instead OR a Sony XSP-N1BT double din. Perhaps maybe some nice wheels, seen some nice one on this forum.

FYI: Still waiting for the Micra to be delivered.

I chose the white one like yours, actually, i was lurking at this forum for a while, and I think your car made me settle for the white color, will definitely add some painted decals on the car like yours, it looks awesome btw.

I keep meaning to ask, CCM: what is your avatar? Flying a plane?

It's my other Ride, not very economical, costs me about 500$/h to fly it (in training)

Wow - interesting. Is that a single seat?

It's a two seat light helicopter. So when I see the cool kids with their civic or vw golfs.. i think about this image :
