Bye Bye TSX, I'll miss you guys....

Well I found an awesome deal on a new car, so I get to pick her up tomorrow. I'm trading in my TSX for an 04 WRX STi with 500 miles on it. I test drove the car and fell in love with it. The power in that beast is insane. So man gadgets and stuff. It comes loaded with everything and how can I pass it up at $29,995.

I'll definetly keep in touch guys. I'll have to post some pics of my new car and a few of the TSX.

l8ers all

I guess the TSX was fun while it lasted. I know how it is with a deal you just can't pass up.

Good luck and have fun with your WRX STi.

The speed rush only last for so long. When you get that out of your system you'll probably be back to something like the TSX.

Sounds like you'll be having a blast with the STi. Plus now you won't be the oddball at the next subie meet

That's why you get a CRX as your daily commuter and just drive the STI once or twice a week ... lol

Oh, and let your wife get a TSX

Isn't there a law in Alaska that ALL cars have to be AWD?
Enjoy and good luck.

That would surely make driving safer for everyone, but the fuel consumption would rise ten fold.

Haha, I guess that's another stereo type "all cars have to be AWD," just like "we live in igloss." It'd be nice to have every car on the road be AWD, but that's impossible with a population of over 350,000 in Anchorage.

I love my new car and it's extremely fun to play with. The Adjustable HIDS, the Differential that you can control, 25/75/, locked at 50/50/, the suede seats with blue carpet and the 300HP and 300ftlb of torque is crazy. Oh yeah, Can't forget the Brembo brakes. I dunno about the "speed rush", I love a manual and overall the STi is an awesome car, on road, off road, and definetly in the winter time. That AWD will come in handy =). If I were to get an Acura again, it'd be a TL or an RL, something with a little more power and get up. I dumped 3 grand into the TSX and it got me no where....

Thanks for all the comments guys and were having our next Subaru meet real soon here and I'll definetly post some pics of that =).

Wess,
I'll be in touch

Nah, not in my book. I'd say it's the other way around, at least here in Alaska. A 2002 WRX with 31,000 miles, the dealer would give the guy $17,000.00 for it. My car with 12,500 miles on it, the dealer was going to give me $21,500.00. I was like forget that, so a used car dealership gave me 23,000 for mine. I gave em the intake and comptech exhaust for free, that has no resale value, unless you sale the car on your own.
