that M3 is nice too

Yea the online price is high...but hell my car was listed at 27,5 and I got it for 24,9

yeah but obviously % drop a bit when you're dealing with less money to negotiate with. I was seriously in the market in 08 for one of these and I found a few great deals on a few. All 04-05, all 50k or less and all nicely equipped - some with a few light mods. Then they were right around $20k. almost 3 yrs later they should have dropped to about $15k or less with consistent mileage and in good cosmetic/mechanical condition.

Yea I'm really not holding my breath for a good ZHP...especially since I don't like that red one and it's the only one around I can find...really looking at S2000s but always open to ideas lol

actually no, love classics but this thing is an Australian oversized Cavalier with a Corvette engine. They suck gas like Al sucks... well you know, and they break down all the fucking time.

Best friend leased one, the 6.0 and it was always in for repair, was fugly as shit and honestly, as fast as it is in a straight line, it corners for shit (not that most muscle cars don't). Save your wallet at the pump, totally not worth it, especially with gas expected to hit $5/gal in 2012.

bri did you consider just refinancing your loan? not sure what your terms are but maybe worth looking into or no?

Is there any one else I can go to besides doing the installation myself?

P.S. the service manager claims this retrofit need recoding even though the installation manual clearly states it doesn't. Thus I'm a bit wary of the information I've been provided by.

You can have VS do the retrofiting for a factory unit, and 425 seems right seeing how much work will go into installing one, If you can do it yourself you can do it and vs could code it if necessary

Yea I did...the loan isn't really the problem it's the amount of it...just don't feel comfortable buying a place cutting it that close financially...

ah cuz what would be the difference in payment monthly between $15k and say $20k (assuming thats what you owe) like $100/month (8% @60 month estimate)

All said and done (warranty etc) I financed just under 27 for 48mos...so the payments are based on that...so the difference for a 14k car would be significant enough for me to go after assuming I could make it work...probably a 50/50 shot at this point but we'll see how it goes and talking to the parents etc...

Thank everyone who replied so promptly. I'll contact Matt at VS.

mkPOTO: I would be ok with $425 if it's for the factory unit, but unfortunately this isn't. This a license plate holder that has PDC and according to the manual, it's a 1.5-2hrs install.

Yes I do. It has a menu button only, I presume that's pre LCI.

[mkPOTO]

are you only looking to buy factory unit? what about aftermarket?

[eml92]

Hi everyone -
