Many congratulations for owning such a sexy car! |

And about that long drive to complete the run-in: make sure you vary the RPM, and do not drive in a constant RPM for more than a few minutes during run-in. |
Thanks and noted. Quote:

Thanks. I know the mudflaps are crappy and i hate them. FIAT is coming out with the moulded mudflaps in the coming months. Will throw these temporary ones away and fix the moulded ones. Quote:

I find it astonishing to see people selling off their otherwise brilliant cars like FIRE Linea, MJD Linea for the Jet. Some Dude has sold off his Civic for a T-Jet! This is super exciting!
Ok guys, here is the news. I just sold of my '09 Corolla and Booked a T-Jet at Concorde. After attending the Aero India show I am now waiting to fly my Civilian Jet!  |
Thanks Counsel. Congrats for the Tjet. It's a pleasent surprise that a Toyota owner switching loyality to FIAT. Great !
I can assure you, once bitten by the FIAT bug, you will always remain a FIATian. Quote:

Mind sharing how much you sold your FIRE for ?
And Counsel, congrats on your booking too. From a Toyota to a Fiat. That is something one does not come across very often, especially in our country. |
Thank you. I lost 30 percent on depreciation. I struggled to get a buyer for the petrol Linea as Chennai is a Diesel market. That too, with the prices going up, it was tough.
I am happy with the resale value as it is marginally lesser than a 1.5 year old Honda City or petrol SX4.
An ad in the Hindu did the job for me. Quote:
