poppi909 — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 13:31:10 GMT

Is it possible to have access to the number of "hits" on a selling site without the general public HAVING ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION?? If so, how is it done?

Purchasing a car

jobell08 — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 16:10:31 GMT

Would love your wisdom.We are looking at purchasing 2cars 4 cyl prefer anything over 2001. My son is a first year Uni student and intends to get a vehicle as well. I know absolutely nothing about cars. I like the proton it looks good inside but should I steer clear as it is not a popular make. What are the drawbacks? I can spend up to $18,000.00. My son likes the Hyundais he can spend up to $8,000.00. Another car my son is looking at
is a toyota twin cam 1995 model. Is that any good? I have heard that Hyundai after 2 years the motor goes...does anyone have knowledge on these. I am single we both want 4 door. Would love your input, must be economical,cheap on parts, automatic. Don't think I am fussy will probably never be able to afford another one so I have to get it right.If you can suggest an alternative make that woul'd be appreciated. What do you think of dealer verses private sale versus auctions. Which one is better? Have been told get a Magna and convert it to gas with the Government rebate is that a good idea? Ok for my son, but I find 6 cyls a bit powerful. Thankyou

I have no idea which wagons/compact 4wd come in 7 seats, or which ones would be best.

Do not like a van looking car as my kids want something that looks cool!

Any ideas?

Car sales

jonesy02 — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 14:29:33 GMT

Anyone had any experience of going to car sales and auctions? I'm a bit nervouse about being pressured into a purchase or being ripped off. I heard you can get real bargains but wouldnt all the dealers stop that?

Should I just stick to 'the good old trading post'? I got my last 2 cars that way with no worries. But a few friends bought some bargains at car auctions recently.

Holden for sale

prodech — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 11:13:16 GMT

I am looking at selling my Holden Astra on the Trading Post and want to make the ad as good as possible. Anyone have any pointers to what makes the best car ad? What makes it stand out from the crowd? I've got some pretty good pictures and was figuring on concentrating on the non-standard features (everyone knows what a Holden Astra is!) and any other things that make it a bit different.
