    If you saw my last thread, I ended up getting that car. It's an 07, 89k, everything is pretty good condition. Paid $10k OTD (sales tax and vehicle registration). I'm alright with that price. It wasn't a deal but I don't feel ripped off. I think I paid a fair amount for it.

    The only bads, the weather seal on the back hatch is a few knicks, the stripe on the driver side needs a small spot reglued, and it only has one key.

    Most importantly all of the baby stuff fits with more room than our Suzuki.

    the strip on the doors can easily be pulled off and any residue fixed with some goo-gone. really cleans up the looks and the strip is in the wrong spot to stop door dings anyways

    Sweet. Same color as ours. It's amazing what all you can fit in a 3.

    Same color as our 5. Nice for hiding dirt

    Same wheels as mine... I can't wait until winter is over so I can put my BBS RKs on it...

    Thanks. I think I'm really going to like it. The shifter is so smooth, it rides very nice, the trunk is nice and big (the baby stroller fits laying down with space to spare). Just a few things, I feel like the volume controls are a little too spaced out and the wheel controls are a little high. But that's just me being picky.

    The only MUST DO on my list is getting a keyless entry thing. Also, the passenger side from lock is slow (it moves very slowly when the lock button is pushed). Anything to be worried about?
