Lol hey man, I'll be glad to show you the contract I signed w/ price and everything on it. The dealership I bought it from was a Lamborghini, Ferrara, Porsche , Bentley, dreamcar dealership. They obviously didn't know what they had on their hands...

Im still looking just seems there soooo many grey and black ones out there lol. I prefer white and I already talked to shep about a 5speed swap lol. I guess if I cant find an SE sooner or later Ill just have to get an MR and deal with the trans when it goes. I've done a nationwide search and cant find any SE's at all Going to the dealer today to see what they are going to offer me on my Truck and how much they are going to come down on their price. If anyone happens to find an 06 SE, lemme know

Just saw an 06 IX online in Cali for 37k lol...maybe if I traded my truck in Cali I can get a lot more lol

Like everyone said here, the dealer is asking too much, but I'm not sure why the bash on the MR I love my MR and I wouldn't buy any other Evo trim. The 6 speed is great on the highway and let's face it - its the top of the line model. I have currently about 350hp to the wheels and all is great, no tranny issues. Keep on looking as I bought my for $25.5K from a dealer, you just have to beat them down to it...it took me 3 days, but they gave up on the end Good luck...

350 at the wheels and no tranny issues? Do you mean, GASP, you actually know how to drive and don't power shift on your way to the 7-11? Fascinating!

Back on topic...32k is a bit steep for a car that's 2-3 years old, especially one that's been modded already. As others have said, I would keep looking around...with one caveat. The IX will become a bit harder to find as time goes on, so if you're sure it only has 12k on it, it could be worth the purchase. Just something to think about.

I'm pretty sure I know how to drive However, I am careful of not trying to break things up, so I don't go much to the red line, so I guess its really up to driver and his/her habits

What he said. I bought my SE new last year w/ 25 miles on it for $28,800.

But you do realize the SE didn't come in white; only silver, gray, and black, so if you're holding out for WW, you can stop looking for an SE. And personally, the "rare" factor doesn't impress me anymore. Within a couple months of buying my SE, there were 2 more around here. I felt kinda special for about a month.

I haven't seen any SE's for sale. Like everyone else said... $32k is a bit high. Hold off and find a 5spd.

Drove the car last friday...it was worked before and was put back to stock. Boost would fall to almost 0 past 6k. Wasnt really looking for an MR only because of the 6speed. I dont leave any of my cars stock (at least not for very long ) so the little bit of added security from the 5speed seems worth it, although MR's are a dime a dozen for sale locally. If it comes down to it, I would probably get a WW MR and when the trans goes give shep a call for a 5 speed conversion. Back to searching for now
