Package deal is fine. Probably going to trade the car in ASAP, car is at the dealer right now seeing what they will give me. Got a 2008 altima coupe 3.5 SE out in the parking lot that I'm thinking of getting. That or a legacy GT.

Legacy GT...

Dunno what dealer its at, but from test driving millions of cars... And finally doing what Riley told me to do and going to drive a 335i... Spend an extra 3-8k and buy a 335xi. The Legacy GTs are alright, but unless you've never driven your Evo you'll hate the Legacy GT... Go test drive a 335i at BMW (unless you HAVE to trade it in at said dealership) ask for Matt in the North building and tell him Jake sent you. He's a great guy, I drove a 335i and 328xi today and the 335 is amazing, hands down better than all the other Luxury and Luxury sports-sedans I've driven, just a few thousand dollars more though...

So yes Riley, you were right, but even a 335i with no nav and a few little features is 46k... while all the other competitors are 40ish. 1 or 2k would be worth it, especially for a 50/50 weight balanced sedan, but not 6k, and that 6k is missing nav that's included in the 40k of the competitors.

Those cars are pretty cool. Just keep your keys away from your cell phone so they don't get inadvertantly reset!!

Trying to lower my payment, not raise it. I can get a new legacy GT for $28-29k, and have a decent daily driver with a lower payment. Owe $13k on the evo, get $26k on a trade in, the extra $2-3k for a new LGT, and that means finance $15-16k, not bad.

The vette was just a roadblock. I couldn't pass him in the straights with all his power, but was just a clog in the turns. Once i finally did get past him, i put a three turn gap on him in half a lap. Never saw the audi, i think he was running in the street group.

I guess I don't REALLY need any options... Except the comfort access, cuz that's just too damn cool for 500 bucks. I like the front end on the new BMW 3 series sedans. And I was thinking of getting a TL Type-S but maybe BMW will work with me on the price... They have a really nice 335i as their demo car (the one I drove)... Course, it was auto.
