Kev, I'll text you soon...middle of some field with barely any coverage.

Joe, I meant more about understanding to stay away from that track race V vs the lemon one in Austin where he claims it was only because of a leaking trunk seal. Seems a little BS to me but not sure how bad resale on a lemon buyback is...I was told it might not hurt the title

that other 6MT wagon at $44K is awesome and I'd consider it if someone that knows what they're talking about went through the car and could tell me it's sound...I don't see it being a car I'd dump. Knowing it was bought for $39K though (from what Bob mentioned) means I'd only consider it if the guy comes down almost 10K...it's a risk, but it's one I'd take on that vehicle.

After fkng around in the TLX for 2 days...I realize that an automatic wouldn't be my first pick. I know it's great for traffic and it shifts faster than I can, but there's something about that 3rd pedal for me that adds a LOT to the driving experience.

J.. don't know what you mean regarding vs. (:rs143: ). I definitely understand your desire to get da stick (), but I warn you.. maybe you should check with Bob too.. first and the top of second are pretty unusable.

Keep your eyes open, something might hit the market soon that meets your price and wish list.

Personally, I would never buy a lemon buy back car (if the title indicates it as being such). Do you have the VIN? Look it up and see if the lemon buy back is on the title. I dont understand why it wouldn't be on there- everything else generally gets documented and a lemon buy back is a big deal. If not on the title, buy the car. If it is, stay away.

Although, that being said, I find it hard to believe that the V went three times through the shop to have a trunk seal fixed and the dealership was still unable to fix it. It's a damn seal. Is the body twisted? Or did the car have other issues and the trunk seal was the final one that had the lemon law put in place?

Dealership couldn't fix it because RCB and his ASE goonsquad don't use torque wrenches.

I don't know what CFL you've been watching man, what you pictured is exactly NFL.

in rereading what I wrote I'm gonna have to :rs143: myself. lmao...two separate cars, two separate conversations so I'm not sure why I even brought both of them up at the same time.

I was just saying I get why to stay away from the 6MT Wagon Racekor even though I might not.

I was saying do you think it's horrid that this other Austin Texass black one was lemon buyback. Has to be some BS on it JUST being trunk seal.

Both seller's are very nice. Probably cause they have to be.

Adam, thanks for that anal
ysis.

Top of 1st and 2nd are unusable? Shiettt...I'll start off in 4th at every light then! So convenient to only have to shift between 3 gears!

Ah.. you know.. if it's a clean title, decent carfax / autocheck, and trunk is sealed.. I'd be game. It's a clean ass ride.

Thanks, I clearly give your opinion a lot of credence. I don't do that with many people...normally I suck it myself before I decide if I like it or not.

I might keep in touch with him...if he dropped that much that quickly, he's likely more flexible than he's currently letting on on CL.

He's also selling a MB GL450. Not sure if dealer or not.. plus the warranty talk.. idk.

If you're really serious.. give him your bottom dollar offer.. you never know. I can check it out too.

Naw...TL was getting tires flipped and alignment. Acura of Pembroke Pines is the only place I let touch it...great dudes.

Thank you sincerely for that offer...if it comes down to that, I would certainly appreciate you giving it a once over if it's not too far. I'll ship you a case of dressing.

If I bought non-local...I wonder if I'd ship or fly and drive. I kinda think it adds to the bonding experience to have an immediate forced 10+ hours sitting in your new car. Gets all the buyer's remorse out of the way and you can be in love when you get home.

putting $60 every 150 miles would probably make me get home mad at myself...not gonna lie.

I do 10 miles round trip to work every day...

I'll get a 1998 Honda Insight for anything more.
