Sorry, bud.

0 = Totally serious
10 = Total sarcasm

They're used on other boards. I thought we used them here....?

I told the salesman that I was sorry but I would have to back out. I told I wouldn't pay over book and that included out of pocket expenes. He said he'd call back in 20 mins.

Good luck, Scott...

I personally think the same way Laurel does in this case, I'd much rather have a car that had some rust and dings and maybe a cigarette burn or two that cost half as much... that way I don't worry all the time about keeping it new. That's why I don't like new cars.

Well, that and the monthly payments. I mean, who wants monthly payments when you can own a Legacy for a few thousand? That's a down payment!

Bottom line, though, if they give it to you for KBB value, its worth it. Only if you really really like the car, it may be worth more to you.

He wouldn't be the first that would have paid significantly over KBB. It's all a question of how much you want it.

Weeeeeeellllll? It's been way over twenty minutes, what the hell's going on? Should we take your lack of posting as a sign of paper signage going on, hmmmmmm??

It's mine!!! I love it! I wound up paying book plus my old, rusted out L. I'm happy with it. So far everyone seems to think it's a good find. She's beautiful. Time to start planning what will become of her.

I'm thinking I'll name her Mia but I don't know yet.

He already has a turbo. Good thing, too, is you can experiment with the older one and instal in the nice one when you know it works.

Right on Scott! I can't wait to see it.

I want two turbos. Lucky for you I'm hurting financialy or that would have been mine!

I'm sorry bud. Hey, at least it's owned by me. You'll be the first to know what's up if I ever move on. Hell, with me that could in less than a year.

I gave it a maiden voyage to DC today. It weathered the trip fine. I finally got to go to the museum of natural history....awesome. I also saw the washington monument and the capital building.

I guess that's just me though. I used to beat the shit out of my 91, and I've never had that much fun in a car, but then I got the 92, and actually cared about it. I suppose I've found my happy median, and everyone also needs to find their own.

This is actually something that's at the heart of many car owners, though. To some, a car payment is merely the price you pay for owning something you can't normally afford, outright. To others, it feels like being "owned" by the car, itself.

I had no trouble driving the absolute piss out of the STi. It was purpose-built, and I used it for those purposes. With the new LGT, I'll be quite a good deal more careful with it. It's less a purpose-built car, and more a car you LIVE WITH. I'd rather keep this one looking perfect than I did the STi . . . which seemed to carry badges of courage with it every time it received conerash or a scratch.

Just remember Laurel . . . you PAID for the 92, with your own hard-earned money. You were forced into the 91 when your mom made you get rid of the CRX. Of course you feel very differently about the two cars.

Well, Scott stopped by last night and I finally got to see his new SS and it is very nice. The interior looks brand new and I mean brand new. The color is awesome ( I've always loved the silver) and it's in really good shape. There are only a few cosmetic blimishes and overall I'd say it's a 9 (1 being horribly beat and 10 being brand new).

Nice car Scott! Lucky bastid.

Thanks Matt, that means a lot to me (not to be real squishy about it). I dig it, bro. Hope you get a touring wagon. That would be cool.

Bane · Post by **Bane** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 2:58 am

I just picked mine up about 20 days ago, and i absolutely love it.

it is mint, had 93000kms on it and cost me $5000cdn
so what's that like
55000miles and $3500usd?

I lucked out and i know it, it would have cost me the same to fix the 330,000km '96 wagon.

So i was just going to say, i'm in the same boat ... I beat the snot out of the wagon for the last few years, and had some stupid problems. But those were mostly caused by improper service, and at the same time i had some amazing fun with it. I plan on being careful with this one, but at the same time, i want to modify it so badly i can taste it.

I say have fun with it, but then again i have a spare car for emergencies.

Tleg93 · Post by **Tleg93** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 3:55 am

Actually, the conversion would be 4800 USD = 5853.33 CAD. So you paid more, which is appropriate for less miles and all. I also have two cars, see my sig.

Bane · Post by **Bane** » Tue Jul 19, 2005 10:35 pm

Lol, I meant i did pay 5000cdn=$4100usd with no trade-in.

As for multiple cars, i was just getting at babying one and abusing the other, and how that would be pretty tough, since you know what it takes part wise and how much it can "take" abuse wise.

blah, your happy with the car and that's all that matters.
