Great Wall vehicles

I test drive this car from the agent on Te Rapa Road. He did not even give me a brochure! He offered to add the following accessories:
tow bar.....$850
side steps..$1000
nurge bar..$900
ORC........$850
Total        $3,600
trade-in.....$3,500

My Mitsubishi Challenger is worth only the accessories as a trade-in! The new car has a 2L petrol engine with 4-wheel drive. I need more grunt than this.

Hybrid


One of the many freedom of being retired is: time. We have lots of it. My wife and I spent a pleasant week going around the car yards test driving various new vehicles now on the market. It is all free entertainment.


Many of the new vehicles have: cruise control, a reversing camera, GPS, keyless ignition, leather seats, blue tooth, DVD player and many other desirable features which were not found in older vehicles. We found one which has two engines! They call it a (hybrid). You drive it just like a normal car. The computer on board, decides when is a suitable time to switch over to the other engine! A friend, Lisa was very brave when she bought this Toyota hybrid.
