this car is not cheap to own...its taking out 65% of my paycheck to pay for the monthly payment and insurance. I'm living with parents so I guess its not going to kill me.

I hope my feelings of bittersweet will change tomorrow after I pick her up...


what should I be lookin for tomorrow when I pick her up?

Go around the body and check for any scratches that my have happened during transparent. Also check out the headlights because they have a tape that they put on the front to protect it from damage - sometimes when they try to take the tape off they scratch them. They scratched mine, which ended up not being a big deal when I slammed them in to the rear of a semi.

Other than that, just make sure all of the options that you ordered (if any) are there and have fun. Eventually your income should increase and make the payment less of an issue, but until then just be cool with your money. The car is definitely worth it.

if I do find any small scatches, do I ask them to take some of the price out? lol

ask them to repair the scratches.

65% is a lot. your car payment alone should never be more than 20% of your gross monthly income...but thats what the luxury of living with your parents gets ya. I asked them to repaint the flaw in my paint on the front bumper. so far they have painted it 3 times and they still cant match the color. friggin morons.

Also roll down all the windows to make sure they don't squeak. One of mine did...

AHHHHHH!!!!! WTF...lol I was just about to post this! My FRONT driver side window squeaks only when you put it down and it squeaks about 1/3rd of the way down after that nothing... what is this, why does it do this and is this covered under warranty?

Thanks :-)

Cuz its a easily fixable thing. If you notice it causes when the weatherstripping rubs against a dirty window. what i've done is clean the windows and the weatherstripping and it fixes this. i don't get why it happens only to the driver's side though.

post pics as soon as you get the car. how much did it cost and what options did u take on it?

Yeah, happened to my driver side front window too. I had a technician look at it during the first service, and the problem was fixed for a week, but the problem has since come back. Maybe my window is too dirty, so I will try to give it a nice good cleaning and see what's up.
