HEY!!!! I think I saw you last night on Eagle Rock Blvd? I have a silver Evo 8, and I test drove that one that you got! Actually my buddy did since I was new to manual also LOL. I thought about getting that one but I'm too lazy to keep a black car clean. =P Congrats on the car, see you around dude!

its $500 above invoice. i talked to someone who bought a blue one at HB mitsu with the same options and he actually paid $20 more.
not the best deal, but not the worst i think :angel:

Yeah, congrats. You paid too much though. Invoice is more like $32,230. I also think you will regret not waiting the short amount of time for the IX. Did you at least get the 0.0% financing?

Don't listen to me though ... break your car in right and enjoy the hell out of it!! It's a great car.

trade in car was an 04 accord coupe v6 ex with 16,5xxx miles on it. dealer gave me $19,000 for it. wrote a check for $16,xxx to pay off the rest. no financing. overall im happy because my goal was to spend less than $17,000 and the trade in car, and i met that budget haha.
lol i think i stalled about 6-7times during the drive of the night i got it. i live in the valley so there were a lot of hills and stuff. im a bit better now though, at least i dont stall anymore :buck2: and i can handle uphills too haha.
i think the first mods will come this week, lol. just the shortening antenna and a new face unit...i dont know why but the infiniti cd player skips my cd-r's sometimes and i want to get an mp3 unit so i can put more than 18 songs on a cd ^-^

Welcome aboard !!!
it's funny when people talk about invoice, since some say that the 05's non SSL are 29k when and others mention 28,238
and the 05's SSL around 32k for invoice some say 31k, if you add taxes and fees thats around 35k OTD thats a good deal, since not everyone gets 3k below MSRP..

hmm how much, pix?
as of now, the only "mod" i have is an s2000 antenna i asked my mom to get for me when she went back to honda to cancel the extended warranty we bought on the car i trade in.

IMO the IX is a bit overrated, just because they added Mivec :P
stock vs stock (the IX might be faster) but once you start modifying , it's a different story. Besides who keeps an evo stock ?? besides you and macky :buck2:

^ +1 - The IX is overrated. It's basically the same car with a little more power. Besides, the MIVEC is only to one cam not both cams. Just wait until they make it variable for both intake and exhuast.
