I'm sold and a LOT of people in the 'other' forums are pullin for the "CWP" color - - maybe they don't like attention as much as i do, cause when i think of a "high-performance car" i think 'red' or "silver'. The CWP is a grand cheaper, and im also VERY happy to know that the GT trim wont cost me but really only $10 extra a month (for insurance) opposed to the SPort.

Love the red...but get the white. This was a mid year option for this year and that is it.

well...long story short, but i wanted to go w/ the speed3,...but the $25k was a bit high ( i really liked the GT)...and right when i was getting ready to buy a marked down GT - salesman told me my credit was f*cked. So basically my father ruined my credit by getting cards in my name and missing payments. No one's gonna finance me without a co-signer.....and since then i've juggled my options from cheaper routes like 03' Evos, 05' Sti's, and now an Audi 2.0T/quattro....

Finding a co-signer is a pain in the azz...And At this rate...I'm thinking of just using my $3k downpayment and paying off the cards (whichever ones they are).

I still can't get financed for that!?! And besides...I'm tired of being the "all talk" guy -- or the "show and no go" - - I felt like when driving my old lancer, I'd rather be in the audi (and feel like a 'million bucks') or the evo (and feel like i'm on top of the world -- so to speak..after all it's my dream car). My dad and i are going today to see about seeing who will finance w/ poor credit -- but i guarantee there will only be sh|tty cars places like that offer..And i dont wanna be rollin in a chevy, hyundai, or anything lame like that.
