Not sure if we have a thread like this already? Couldn't find it, if there is one. Thought we can have a place to share our new cars. In my mind, even if you buy 2nd hand, it is still new to you. :)

Picked this up today:

PS: No more Fiesta ST troubles for me. This is slower, I know, but at least it has warranty and service (extended) plan. :D
 
Congrats. My trusty old 2012 is still going strong till today.

Make sure you service it at the Dealership only and you'll be fine.

Yip.

My sis took her MINI Countryman to BMW Sandton as the car was giving a low charge warning when she starts it. Took it in the morning on her way to work. They phoned her later to say they have to keep it overnight. Next day they phone her and tell her they are going to charge her R1600 for workshop hours and another R4000.00 for a new battery. She told them to fck off. She went to fetch the car and took it to battery center. It took the guy 15 seconds to test the battery to make sure it is indeed the battery that is going and another 20 minutes to install it for her. Cost of the test? R0.00. Cost of the new battery? R1300.00. She told him what BMW was going to charge her and the guy laughed. He said they often come and buy batteries there from him if they have run out.

:mad:

Yep sound about right for battery, was quoted the same.

I just charged my battery for free with a battery charger at home, mine was just running a bit low on charge.
