I know it shouldn't matter. But the first thing I'd do to that car is debadge it. Mostly because the logo looks completely fucking cheesy on there. The real problem with the badge is resale.
I love the rest of it.
Alas, it's over the budget and well into the "I want to keep it nice looking" category of pointlessness (for my living situation).
Orange is the limited edition GTS with "drift" mode. You say too expensive but they can no shit take $12-14k off MSRP. Kia really with a ton of backend rebates and incentives. Sad you have to play the games with them to get a great price.

I guess, I’d rather new car. https://www.premiersubaruoffremont.com/ ... 8a1513.htm
I’m sure you can get this for around 25 pre tax
I would go new too... but I get wanting a certain color.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 10:02 amI guess, I’d rather new car. https://www.premiersubaruoffremont.com/ ... 8a1513.htm

I think BRZ is either new or get one for sub $15K car to me, given they haven't changed all that much. But when you consider a 2013 with 75K is worth $13K... seems like new is a decent buy.

New car warranty, and you get to be the first molester. I don’t know how it is in your guys’ states but out here. This car has a really terrible really young demographic that essentially drives them into oblivion.D Griff wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 10:05 amI would go new too... but I get wanting a certain color.max225 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 10:02 am

50% of them here have the 4 foot tall wing added and extremely fart can exhaust and who knows what you can't see.
No thank you. Only new if you want the most gutless sporty looking car.

I told her that about the Civic. Not interested. The Sonata is pretty much the same size as her Aura so it's what she's comfortable with. Both about 19x" long, 5x" wide, etc.

Yup.
Still waiting to hear back from "Ted".
He gave me an "OTD" price yesterday but I asked for a breakdown to make sure he's starting from the "internet sale price" their internet monkey gave me on Saturday, which
Ted gave me the "gosh, I can't see how she came up with that price" so I emailed her quote to him. But I'm not able to deconstruct his OTD price and get back to Sandy's original quote.
A bunch of . I hate buying cars.

How the fuck is every even across state lines doing this very inducing shit. That’s exactly what the local VW dealershit did to me, for which they received the #1 rated 1 star yelp review, which followed with 3 requests from the general manager for me to take it down and earn my business. I ended up going to another dealershit and beating their “I don’t know what happened” price.wap wrote: ↑Tue Oct 15, 2019 11:10 amYup.

You know what assholes, treat me like shit and get treated like shit in return.
