got a 2.5s dark slate CVT with my credit paying $548 @ $23k with extended warranty(found out that cheaper warranty forum afterwards....) and GAP and w/o tint, but they said if i came back they would put in on(not in writing) after reading the forums i saw some of you guys got 3.5 base for $23k

not too satisfied after driving it around since i bought it sunday and put 300miles on it, have an itch for MT, the dealer told me the closest one would be in AZ and its "hard to find" since i want a certain color and MT, i'm in los angeles. anyways i go back to talk to the assistant manager asking him about switching from CVT to MT and he just blows me off to the sales guy. then the sales guy tells me back to come back friday at 2pm. this just sounds fishy already. i feel like i've been ripped off pretty badly. anyways any tips/suggestions?

trying to look up similiar instances, any help

thanks in advance

for 23K, did you get the 2.5 premium package? Yes, now folks can find the base 3.5 for about 24K... any reason in particular you went with the 2.5? Also, yes it is a B I T C H to find an MT right now!

Yep, once you sign on the dotted line it's yours unless you can sell it for what you owe on it. Better luck next time.

MT are very hard to find. I wanted a Dark Slate 3.5 MT with no packages and couldn't find one so I had to order it.

Hmm... What you are missing, I believe, is the Bose (which is ew), the 17 alloys (not that great) and the leather (leaves buttcheek imprints).

You are missing the manual, you're right, but CVT is just too awesome for a daily driver. It's a pleasure to drive.

So, so far you are only screwed on 100 horses, if you wanted the 3.5. Stillen is making a turbo for the 2.5, so if you got money to burn, you can get that and be ballin'.

As for the rest, people usually replace their sound system anyway, so screw the Bose. The 17 inchers people replace also. As for the leather, I hear Katzkin go for $1000 installed.

Hardly screwed!

yeah, all those things are useless, you got the best thing ever !

*sarcasm*

seriously though, don't worry about it. just enjoy your car and then sell it to some n00b for maximum profit
