Junkie is that your detail on the accord? What products did you use for the paint and chrome trims?

I've only used their clay bar and car wash, which I thought were reasonably good. I brought a whole bunch of stuff from WAXIT but somehow forgot wax/sealant, can't be bothered waiting again for delivery so I'm going to try an off the shelf product. any recommendations?

Really? I've used heaps of their clay bars and never had a problem

Anyone tried Bowdens own wax? http://www.bowdensown.com.au/auto-body-wax

.....Well, I brought the car and a warranty lol. Yeah, I'm very happy with it. seems a very well built and looked after car

Gearbox oil? No, but It's 6 speed manual

I don't pick it up until 5pm, But I'm leaning towards No Extended Warranty because with the normal wear and tear clause and the consequential damage of any type. I can't see it being easy to make a claim being a 9yrs old car and 140,000km, and along with the inhouse servicing, Which I would need to follow for the next 3yrs I'm sure I'd end up paying twice anyway. Is there any parts on a car that are not subject to wear and tear? I think not!?

Thanks guys, appreciated.

What's ride comfort like? Were these for sale not long ago?

All good points terry thanks. I'm not picking the car up until Friday so I do have sometime to think about it and go over the t&c's

Yep I made sure it was not a warranty company warranty, their is a claim limit of $9500 oh and the free basic 1yr warranty has a limit of $1100 it has a list of parts covers and it lists almost every moving part in a engine along with all the gearbox,driveline,electrical,cooling and a/c components but will they just handbrake everything being a 9yr old car with wear and tear It has full honda service record it drives very nicely. It will be purely a daily drive. But if the unpredictable happened I feel $1100 would be eaten up quickly

This is my biggest concern them worming out of paying or something. And that thread is pretty frightening Yes this is true I'd have to enjoy their $99 + oil filter + oil service caped servicing

Hey guys I'm buying a used car 06 honda accord euro navi luxury it has 100% up to date log books 140,000ks. From a nissan dealer it comes with a free 1 yr warranty and roadside assistance, they have offered a in house dealer extended warranty for 3 yrs costs $1100 it cover anything going wrong apparently. engine,engine internals gearbox,gearbox internals, steering,drivetrain blah blah ect. I've never brought from a dealer so not sure if it is worth it but it sounds good, if they are going to cover a 9yr old car for the next 3 yrs mechanically that can only be good? But in saying that my R33 has not had any problems in the 4-5 yrs I've owned it Would you guys opt for the extended warranty or are they all bull and I will be left high and dry in the event something breaks Anyone recently gone through something like this tell me your thoughts or any other thoughts Cheers

Probably not a lot of difference, As long as you get the uv lens sealant all is good.

Using Nulon LLC premixed coolant. Got it on sale bargain! Is this more a problem with aftermarket alloy radiators.?

Try INVISION Headlight restoration kit it is the best, you get everything you need and even UV lens sealant. Did mine 4yrs ago and still looks good.

They look terrible

I use that 303 aerospace protectant, it's great stuff works on all plastics and rubbers and protects from UV

Terrible show. And yeah r33 ep is lol

Here's a guide that might be helpful?

I'll grab them, if your keen to ship.

12k lol
