Well just had to make sure. That is the thing people do NOT think about. The leather looks relatively okay, but when you can see lines in it like that, you know the previous owner didn't take care of it well. That is a HUGE sign of prolonged dryness.
Also, don't forget to factor in insurance, gas, etc when you run the numbers. Your insurance is going to go up, but by how much? And you are going from a 4cyl turbo to a v6. Both take premium, so no difference there, but the v6 will use a good amount more gas. And, last but not certainly least, maintenance. Make sure to have at least $500 put away for random maintenance that HAS to be done asap. That car is not cheap to maintain. Then again, you own a German car now, so it is probably very similar. |
yea i know...it's an 05, what are you gonna do ya know? it's in mint condition and checked out on car facts. and TRUST ME when i say that it's all under control not because of me though, because of my bf lol he has been going through numbers and specs for like 2 weeks now (insurance figures included). he knows what he's doing and he also worked on japanese cars for the first 4 years of him being here. all custom shit...nissan and masda. he'll be able to do most of the routine maintenance himself. and it's still under warranty.
but i appreciate the advice

besides it's all in my name and i can afford it without him but it's MUCH cheaper if we split it. it's a win/win situation.
