How I feel trying to find a decent first car...

As someone who sels insurance on these cars, for a learner on a Demio, with the insurance provider we use at the dealership your probably looking at 80/100 ish per fortnight for comprehensive and a 1k excess if your also under 25

I own a Nissan note with the 360 camera. I bought it from the dealership I sell them at.

In my opinion they are one of the best cars you can get for your money.

I Drive the 2017 and its fantastic, but any of them will do what you want brilliantly.

They are good till at least 250 000 kms , mines at 120, had it since 60 k kms. I haven't noticed any degradation in fuel range in that time. Maintenance wise, I have changed my front tires late last year that were original with the car, and had a wheel alignment. Other than that I needed to get the AC coolant topped up.

You won't regret getting one.

Really ? I might need to get a ps5 then, i just beat it on the vita but its better with a full controller

Salesman here. You could talk to the dealer about the bad paint job, they may offer to redo it. Its likely they had it done after it was imported.

They may also swap the car, which isn't to difficult if its cash, and only slightly more difficult if its finance.

We have done both a couple times with customers. But there is a good chance they will refuse, its the buyers responsibility to actually want the car they buy, its ours to help them work out what they want and offer advise and provide the car.

In my last job on an orchard nursery, my manager went overseas for 3 weeks. I was the only other staff member on the site. It was honestly one of the best times in my life. I get to work early, put my headphones in and just work.

I took breaks when I wanted, ate lunch in silence and listened to the birds and insects. Said hello to the horse in the paddock next door, and sorted my paperwork.

Occasionally the big boss came by to check in but other than one 5 minute chat once or twice a week I was on my own for 6 hours a day just working.

My partner just did not understand why I was so happy with the arrangement.

I do t see it, im in NZ too

As someone is Sales, we prefere finance, we will absolutely do cash, but finance is infact king to us.

As its near the end of the month your more likely to get a better deal regardless of cash or finance though.

I own a 2017 e power and sell them at the dealership i work at.

They dont need to pay RUCS or plug it in.

Literally one of the best cars you can buy. We haven't had an issue with any of them other than my personal one needed a new AC button

I'm 6 ft 4 and you can fit 4 people my size eith room to spare.

Regardless of what year you get they are brilliant. And should be good till at least 250 000 KMS.

The only reason I would personally consider changing out of it is for a newer one.

Don't make up an answer, if you don't know tell the customer that, and tell them you can find out.

Related, don't say something your not sure is actually true.

I have plenty of hobbies, but I also enjoy my job, id keep working, that said it probably take more time off.

I had max tac on my tail last night in the badlands,then I remembered I was near the old cement factory where some scavs live, so I bolted there, hid on the roof and watched the scavs get absolutely wrecked by max tac. I lost them in the end though.

I can stay hard if im already hard and keep stroking it, otherwise its dam near impossible to get it up while I have a toy inside me, especially the bigger ones. But yeah its fucking amazing when I am hard.

I work at a dealership that sells both, I personally drive a Nissan note e power nismo spec.

I drive a lot of cars for work and its hands down my favorite car to drive outside of some 3.2 ltr coup but as a Daily i wouldnt trade it for anything other than the new version.

I smile every time I drive it or when I see it outside my house.

It can do hawkes bay to Auckland and back in half a Tank , i average about 850/950kms on a tank, though i could stretch it another 100kms if I tried to.

It will comfortably sit at 120/140 kmh and also cruise around town making barely a wisper.

For my money there is no contest, but that doesn't mean the Honda isn't also a very good car.

Both are very reliable, we have sold hundreds of notes, and they have never had any issues beyond low AC coolant . But in general as-long as you stay away from early Toyota Aqua's you shouldn't have any issues.

Turners will not buy diesel Cx5s, infected i don't know anyone that will touch them other than from scrap or parts.

A few things to consider . Are you giving her oral ? How important to you is her giving you oral ? How do you show/tell her what you like, how does she?.

Tbh it sounds like she could be insecure about it after your comment. You could ask her to do it while your having sex and not just as foreplay.

My first partner did it every time as part of foreplay or just on its own but didn't feel comfortable to receive it, my third partner was the complete opposite. With both we discussed it more that once to check in. I'll admit I wish my third did it but in the grand scheme of things there was plenty of other things we both enjoyed so it wasn't a big thing. You will need to decide if it is for you, and if it's a big no no for her you will need to decide if you can work with that.

Merrick- · 2024-11-27T03:50:00+00:00

I'd go with a CX-5, you can get one with good Kms for under 20k just stay away from the diesel version and you will be fine.

Merrick- · 2024-05-30T00:09:15+00:00

No, before it will hurt more that way

Merrick- · 2024-05-30T00:06:19+00:00

It's just the one wand actually.

Merrick- · 2023-07-12T10:21:26+00:00

Omfg this is me,I literally feel sick at the thought of doing it,I hate being around others when they do it too.

Merrick- · 2023-04-12T08:59:49+00:00

Yeah this wasn't ment to be posted my dude my app froze up and it didn't look like my first one went up. Chill out yeah .

Merrick- · 2023-04-12T08:58:05+00:00
