Yes it could I suppose, but I'm not really an "I" person, so I'll get a round to it . :))

The Stockagaent said that the batteries are changed over regularly

I checked with Century and the fella at the other end of the line said that the battery would have been sent out to the agent within the last 3 months. The colour code tab on the top of the battery denotes which quarter they are sent out. But you have to call them to find that out...lol

Stephen,
Just a small comment in reply to yours:

It appears that you were encouraging Willem to screw the firm he dealt with, but you wouldn't do it yourself with your Hilux battery.

I have never met Willem but, from reading his posts on here, he strikes me as a fair and honest guy with ethics.

Just my thoughts

Disco.

Yes, Willie is a fair and honest "bloke" (Willie ain't no "guy".... hahaha).

However, I must say that if I had found myself in that position, I wouldn't have prompted the salesperson to check the price. Maybe I'm not such a "fair and honest bloke", but I believe in free trade. You can do no better (IMHO) than ask what the price is (ONCE ONLY) and then either agree to pay that price or walk away. I NEVER haggle over a price.... I will ask what the price is and then take it or leave it.

I hate having it done to me, so I wouldn't do it to anybody else.

If a salesperson tells me a price that I think is VERY good, then I will accept it at face value and close the deal asap (before they decide to change their mind).

Hi Disco, was just stiring Willem up thats all. If I want a good price I will ring around first get the best price go to that place hand over the cash and walk out no problems. If I dont like the price over the phone then I dont go there simple. In Willem's case he wasnt really in a place/town that there was a wide range of suppliers. If I thought that a price sounded cheap and was happy with it with out ringing around first I would have just payed and walked, by him double checking cost him more. Is this classed as screwing the owner ??? I would say no, had he paid $115 without asking to double check neither Willem himself or the owner would have realised that the price was wrong. As far as the hilux battery goes I still have the old battery out of it but I new it wasn't spinning the starter over as quick as it used to. So I wouldnt get cought out with a flat battery and knowing the battery was 5 years old I replaced it. I still have used the old battery since for different things and I keep it charged reguarly. I could have put it back in the hilux and kept the good one but I wouldnt have liked the bloke to get back half way to Bega pull up some where and he couldnt start it again. I got top dollar for the hilux so wasnt going to do that to some one. Has it been done to me before when buying a used vehicle bloody oath did it p iss me off when cought with a flat battery hours after driving off you betcha. As Roachie has stated " If a salesperson tells me a price that I think is VERY good, then I will accept it at face value and close the deal asap (before they decide to change their mind).
