Northern CA TCHs by balithai

I am not getting a great vibe about my local dealer and was hoping to get some advice. I've have been told my my local dealer (rural far N. CA) that Mag Grey with Bisque leather interior is not available in CA, which I've since learned is not the case. Also, he wants a $2K non-refundable down to get on the waiting list - which also seems out of the ordinary.
 
My brother lives in the Bay Area and I'd like to talk to some dealers there - anyone have a dealer that was good to work with that you can recommend I call? I'm partial to the mag grey w/bisque, but not wedded to it - its just the sum of our interactions that make me want to look elsewhere.
 
Thanks!

I wouldn't give anyone a non-refundable deposit on anything.

Car looks beautiful.
 
You may have posted this previously, but I'm curious which wheels you replaced the stock ones with. I'm considering a wheel upgrade myself (possibly to 18" rims), but don't want to add any unsprung weight to the car, if possible.
 
Anyone who has any advice on wheel upgrade considerations, please feel free to chime in. I've never done it before.

I am in the SF bay area and invited quotes via Edmunds from a number of dealers (using different zip codes). I have received many positive responses.
Still trying to locate the color I want, Nobody hasd asked for a non-refundable deposit yet.

Just came accross this SHORT TAKES review on the TCH by Car & Driver magazine dated June 2006. They claim the 0-60 speed is 7.7 seconds.
 

Interesting review. Thanks for posting.
 
I notice in the specs that they claim the car is 0.5 sec faster from 0-60 mph than from 5-60 mph. Seems counter-intuitive!

What area did you find this document in, the service manual? What part/heading did it fall under?
 
I want to take a look at it, but I am thinking I might have seen that somewhere else.

Actually that is fairly common. It is the result of starting out in a higher gear (sometimes), and then requiring the transmission to downshift to accelerate.

Car looks awesome. The new wheels on it make the car stand out. Congratulations.... Keep the wax on it though, you know what the sun does to red paint here in Florida!!
