Good on you Keith.I decided not to offer my 2 pence worth because I know diddely about cars.All I know is that the most important thing is getting someone who is good at servicing-remember you dont have to get them serviced at the selling dealer.
My second car was a Datsun 1600.Was a nothing car doing 27mpg until i took it to a dealer who raced them at bathurst.Acceleration and braking improved dramatically and got 40mpg.
My most economical car-believe it or not a Mercedes-240D.Ended up keeping it for 29 years and it became my son's first car.Again found a diesel fanatic mechanic and it rarely skipped a beat.At the end had 750000km on the odometer which didnt work for 6 years though.
Car i fell in love with-Peugeot 604.Again serviced by a notable rally driver who drove peugeots.Problem was nothing standard and always had to wait for parts.
May your love affair begin

Can anyone recommend any car insurance companies? Something cost effective, yet reasonable and with good service. And preferably, takes AMEX.
Thanks.
Amex acceptance should be a low priority. Policy wording & ability to speak to someone in the company should be priorities. If looking online have a very close read if considering some options such as bingle-exclusions or $$ limits soon bring many of those companies back to the field.

I was walking through Melbourne BMW yesterday and snapped this celeb in a new 335....
Does anyone know who it is?
Mr!
Went with AAMI as it suited our needs and was the most cost effective - with windscreen damage excess reduction and 'agreed value' thrown in, it still came up a lot cheaper than Virgin which was the other policy we shortlisted. We have 3 yrs of BMW Roadside assistance and hire car in the event of an accident/fault so we left that out. No AMEX acceptance unfortunately, had to pay with my non points earning VISA debit card.
So we're all set. We're picking up the car this arvo, v exciting!
