Thinking of stepping down to an '06 Wagon..
I went looking at Carlsen and didn't see much. I have been thinking about selling my RS coupe and my SAAB wagon and replacing both with a steel grey metallic '06 wagon. The only drawback is the RS because I love the 2door and I just spent a lot of money on misc parts/mods on the car. I was thinking an '06 because it has the 2.5L, brakes, better lights and such. Looks like somewhere around $23.5k could get one without leather, but I can't find a steel grey one anywhere. Might have to order.
Anyway the first step would be putting the RS up for sale. If I can get through that then I might be onmy way. Tell me why I shouldn't get an '06 Wagon...

if you know stevens creek has one, go to the dealer of your choice, and say you want one in the color you want. Then since they dont have any on lot ask if any other dealers have one they can trade for.

Love my 06 TR sedan... I don't even drive my RS anymore.
The 2.5L turbo has so much more OOMPH than the 2.0 from earlier models... Better wheels, brakes, etc, etc.
