yea it's a must for my bf. i haven't had a stick shift since high school but i know how to drive them without a problem so i don't care about that part. he's helping me with a down payment and the monthly payments. i'll be driving it for the most part but he's foaming at the mouth over his new toy. hopefully he won't beat it up too bad :stongue: |

lol
Only thing I hope you DON'T do, is your using the e-brake on a hill routine. That is for n00bs not people who know how to drive stick. ;) :p
edit//Watch the drivers seat. The leather is already about to crack. Keep it moisturized well. |

yea for sure i'll be taking very good care of it and so will my bf. he worked on cars for the first 4 years he was down here. all japanese and custom and this is a big deal for him to have this car.
i really hope it works out. i mean the guy called us back and said "it's done you're approved, bla bla" and gave us some figures over the phoone, but we haven't like sat down and looked at all the numbers on paper, etc... gonna do that tomorrow after work because he's closed this afternoon. so it's like 90% done. we'll see though.
*edit*
the color looks 10 x better in person. i wasn't crazy about the color when i just saw the pictures online...it looks like it has some blue in it in the pictures, but it's all gray/metallic and looks different in person. |

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. |

Duh. Silver or Grey are usually AWESOME colors. And I know that color car. It is awesome. |
