Dealer will let you hold it or test drive it hehehe... taking off the v-cover should take about 25-45mins depending on how fast you move.

LOL!! I will try and do what I can. Only problem is that I live in Decatur and it is about a 45min drive to the dealership. Ill will see if I can work something out to keep it for a while. I remember back in the day when my parents would look at vehicles, they would get them overnight and ****! LOL That would be sweet!

Anthony don't even think twice jump on the white rs which has lot less mod's,and has ssl door panels with power lock's best of both worlds light and power windows and wingless look's awsome on a white car get the carbon fiber trunk spoiler for it from mines racing.The black has alot of mod's and not the greatest one's cheap ebay header's that crack,crapy gauges and the paint look's faded stick white or silver best for hiding dirt and scratches,and it has lower miles try to work out a deal with them.

I definitely see where your coming from. I really wish I could wait around longer, but the only car I will have will be the talon, which definitely isn't a winter car. If it was summer or spring I would drive the talon for weeks until something came up.

The rs looks good in pictures so far. I am still waiting to hear back on the final price of that one. The guy pissed me off there, cause he has been giving me a price of a red one, that is on hold for the buyer to pick up, this whole time. I thought i was definitely getting the white one till he told me that he thought I was interested in the red one, which I knew was "supposed" to be sold in the first place.

Well, you make feel a bit better about the whole deal. I am gonna give it one good last look and if I see no problems, I'm gonna probably get it. I also talked to a buddy that I use to work with. He knows two of the service techs at the dealership. He said they saw nothing wrong with the car. They said they didnt even notice the idle. He said they told him that they would refer to buy it if they knew someone was looking for one.

We will see!!

Anthony
