Hopefully by paying cash for the car I get in the next couple months will be enough pull to get the salesman to move a little bit. I want a car cover and a set of winter tires, too.

Cash can actually sometimes hurt the negotiation as they make money in finance. I'd actually tell them you plan to finance with them and when it comes time in finance pay cash. What will make the salesman move is to be firm with your offers and 100% prepared to walk away if you don't get the deal you want. 9 out of 10 car deals I make, I get up to leave at least 2x in the process of negotiating.

I can't imagine, with as much as people think you can be an Mr. mean-ass on the internet, I bet a car negotiation would be popcorn worthy

Guy tries to tell me that downfire in a truck decreases output and sound quality then when I asked for frequency response graphs he tells me they don't matter and SQ is completely in the ear of the beholder.

I told him if it is truly in the ear of the beholder then he has no damn right to tell me and everyone else that downfire sounds worse

Wasn't mrray13 the one who wanted to do a test showing the downfire had more output then forward or upfire?

I'm a big fan of downward firing, not that that matters much...

Anywho, time for bed, I'm tired and sore.

Steve, one of my best friends just bought an 06 CTS. 10k miles, $19k...

I don't think it has a ton of options, and may not even be a good deal (he told me after the fact ) but thought I would let you know. He picks it up next Saturday so I will know more then.

Great - let me know what you think.

I cannot believe transformers did not win for special effects.

Well, what's the "special" part when there's not a part of the movie made without them?

I'm just happy that a guy with a guitar that looks like he found it backstage at Newport and a chick on a piano beat three godawful Disney songs for an Oscar.

There's hope out there after all...

Steve,

Donno if a new(er) Implala is in your sights but lemme say this about the '07 Impala

I am 5'10 and 185............not a HUGE guy but not Matt either (J/P)................The car drives well, is smooth steering and with the Flex fuel engine it got hella great gas milage, and has a danm big trunk.

The down sides were acceleration and the radio..................stock sucks as wel all know, but this was total shit, and its ONLY plus was the auxilary input for my iPOD................as for the acceleration..........it just wasn't there............took off slow, and just nopt enough umph for me................

Hope that is some how SOME help

[Godsmack 361]

Only problem with those is that I am trying to get away from the severe cheap GM plastic. The '07's on the lots here are rental returns that the dealerships bought at auctions, and we all know how we drive rental units. There are a TON of them on the lots here and in BC!

Yea............for 2 grand I really cannot argue..........its the "Special Edition" model..........sun roof, remote unlock, leather interior, JVC Chameleon (that will end up in the For Sale area), and new tires.

It does need to have some paint on the inside (had some F&F pain work done by his brother)

I also enjoy bread with hot sauce on it.

I didn't realize they ever put a V8 in that body style so I thought you meant something American and it just went from there.

Funny, they never put a six in it. The 3.0L in that year was also a v8.

Installed the intake manifold today :

1 step closer to firing it up (which I hope will happen some time tomorrow)

There was a layer of dark oily residue everywhere but it's rather clean now
