this is my first new car purchase so wondering if there's a reason to why you guys request this? is it just to make sure no one touches your car expect you?

i'm thinking to get Opti-coat straight away. if i'm going to do that then it's best no one touches the paint work.

with the interior plastic on seats etc, if they don't throw in tint for free then i'd want my seats protected while getting tint done aftermarket.

Not that it will change your decision, but I'm fairly sure decent retailers that apply the opti coat do a full prep of the paint before it gets coated. So you won't have to worry about others touching the paint work. It's much nicer to pick up your brand new car all clean, rather than one that looks like it just came off the ship.

Your car and all, but I hope for your sake you actually enjoy it and not spend your entire ownership of the car stressing about marks, scratches etc etc. I did that with my first brand new car and it stressed me out to the point where I never actually enjoyed owning the car.

I'd probably still get them to give a wash. I'm getting mine Opti Coated but you gotta remember, your car has probably been sitting at the docks out in the open for a few days before you got it so it's gonna be dirty either way. Better they give it a quick hosing as the person doing the Opti Coat is gonna have to give it a good clean beforehand anyway.

Where do you plan on getting it Opti-Coated?

With the aero kit is the rear spoiler optional? Also, I hear the aero kit from NZ is over half the price ($1600 NZD)...so would it be possible to get the kit from there and the car from here?

I'll just call around and see who does the best price based on Optimum's website.

Or if I'm lazy, I'll hit up the one in Parramatta since that's where I live.

I hope they count this in the small car bracket. Don't wanna pay another 70-80 bucks because it's a "medium" car.

Is this true? I got lucky and scored a first shipment red GTS last weekend.
Thing is the dealer ripped us with a $2895 dealer delivery.

I was going to pipe up and bring it up once I found out what others paid but decided not to knowing I won't find another with June/July delivery.
The extra thou would go a long way into tinting and hopefully the little spoiler from the overseas models!

Which dealership if you don't mind sharing?

If u want a GTS Manual for less than $40,000 drive away the only place to go is Galleria IMO.... And if u say Josh from FT86club.com recommended them to u i might get a free pat on the back or even a shit car cover or something lol..

Speak to the manager whos name is John or this hot chik that was getting me chubby named Pauline.

They didnt want me to tell anyone what i paid but fuck that.... We are all here to help each other and eveyone deserves to know what prices can be had if ur pesistant....

Most dealerships dont give a shit... That been proven to me after today... Especially the Managers... Mainly the managers..... But i found one good one in the end...

Hope this helps....

Nice work and thanks for sharing, least morley is only 15mins away from me :D

turns out i was only 9 cents out!! $39,590.21!!

Not FTG was it? They tried to do the same thing to me. I canceled my order and went to another dealer.

Nah, another dealer. Will give them a call to sort it out before naming and shaming, might've been a genuine mistake
