The guy told Gee yesterday he was a "little negotiable" on price with the current wheels on it (19" HRE) and more negotiable with the stock wheels. He wanted $15,400 with the 17" Lexus wheels back on it so we said we would keep it as it and pay $16,000. At $16,000 it was well above private party but the extra add-on with Lexus performance parts was worth it to us. He wouldn't knock even $200 off so we walked. I also went to a local Dodge dealer with a 2000 GS400 Platinum Edition with 77k. Silver over gray. It was a nice enough car. One owner, low miles, etc. But after sitting in the 02 with black interior and woodgrain steering wheel the gray interior of the 2000 just didn't compare. We got them down to $11,000 OTD with all taxes (6%) and their doc fee but that interior killed the deal for me. |

A couple of my friends have owned STis and they loved them but warned me that they are pretty loud and raw. That's one thing I like about the BMW ///M cars- they are still very civilized considering their performance capabilities.

| I've never understood why Subuaru insurance rates are so high. I paid almost exactly the same rate for my 2001 Forester vs my 07 BMW X3 until I dropped collision on the Forester.. The Accord cpe 6 was also quite high. Cheapest car I've ever had fully insured was a 94 Thunderbird V8 for $400 per year full coverage. | |
The Pilot is the first car I've EVER had to buy a second set of winter tires for, usually long before the first set is close to being worn out I've got a new car and need different tires. Not this time, I did 2 winters and bought new tires. Summer tires are almost new, I don't seem to drive much. Its taken me over a year to put 12k on my Pilot.
