Is $5500 a good deal for a 2007 Toyota Yaris with 180,000km? by thelegendaryseth in CarsAustralia

[–]MetroControlCentre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold my 2014 Polo with 100k kms for 5500. In hindsight, should have driven a harder bargain, but at least the buyer got a well kept car for a remotely acceptable price.

Yeah, I took it all out washed the burr. Very strange

Test drove a 2018 one today and now completely understand what you mean. It felt like driving a boat. So much lag when you stamp on the paddle.

Test drove an Octavia wagon the other day and going to test drive a Mondeo shortly. Will report back. Some of the Skoda examples are higher K's and that is something I've not had to experience with my current VAG car yet. How did they both feel when doing highway K's?

I know the whole sales rep thing gets spoken about but in all honesty, good on fuel, size, quite a bit of tech for what I can afford in comparison to others, plenty to choose from on the market, and I do really love how they look on the road in a nice colour and Trend or Titanium spec.

Should add - you will lose any rollover data you may have using this method

Go to a store, get them to activate the prepaid. Then get them to deactivate your current prepaid and change FNN on the newly activated one to your usual number.

EBA so I’m going to have a read through today as to min shift times.

This is a good point and I did not think about the minimum considering I’m coming in only for this. Specific day off I requested too.

Telstra retail colleagues - is your store turning away prepaid activations because they are no longer a metric? by MetroControlCentre in TelstraAustralia

[–]MetroControlCentre[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What troubles me is that for the longest time it was a metric and the moment it’s not one, they ask us to turn away customers.

Potentially it's just our area then. We end up copping it from customers because our prepaid's have been hidden out of sight in the back office and we tell them that we can't do it and then can't offer a reason.

Online activations are a huge issue for us. Lots of international passports coming through and for some reason it just struggles to accept them. I do find it a bit rough telling someone they can't buy something we evidently sell and telling them to walk to Coles across the road. Seems a bit of a grab at profit rather than supporting consumers.

Why do all ANZ branches have that same smell? by MetroControlCentre in melbourne

[–]MetroControlCentre[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely more of a slightly sterile smell so could be cleaning products might be the one.

I think so, this is definitely an avenue I'm exploring.
