Don't report back unless you've wisely chosen Anthracite / Camel. You know it's the right thing to do

Bolt, That is the exact combo i am getting when my 05 comes in. By any chance would you have some detaild pics i can see of this color comb. It doesent seem like to many people choose it so pics are kind of scarce. Thanks.

Gotta agree with Southern, test drive the 6MT..... Took mine out to Santa Cruz and Monterey this past weekend. It was a fun drive on 1 and 101.

Yeah....I know where I can find some. Let me dig them up and I'll post them later tonight.

It's a great look....do a search for the following keywords to read some cool dialog on the subject:

Dlouly47 Checking Back!

Alright guys - I have completed my mission !

I am now a proud owner of a Black On Black 5peed AT w/Navi.
Added Options -
Full Underbody Kit
Deck Lid Spoiler
Trunk Tray

I hope this isnt too high - Total 36300 before license tax and etc. - Is this too high?
Apr 6.90
I traded in my 2000 Eclipse Gt but owed 10200 on it. They gave me 7 - so negative was rolled over - -3181
So I put 5K to make that a positive down payment of 1819.

So it looks like 39639 Out the Door.

Now I ask of you - did I pay too much ? or just right?
Dealer said he gave me discounts on the accessories.

I searched a couple places before I got mine. They had mine on the lot and was a dealer trade from burlingame to pleasanton so basically mine has 76 miles on it already.

Stevens creek Acura = 0 and didnt know when they were getting some. Wanted me to leave a deposit for one but didnt know the eta of delivery - NO GO - Plus they are Rude.

Sunnyvale Acura - They have a couple coming in about 3-4 Days -

Pleasanton Acura - They also have a couple coming in.

My deal with Acura seem to be ok - they were really nice and I believe they did what they can - with atleast making a little for themselves but did not try to rob me. I went to the dealership at about 7:45PM so they were about to close and basically they wanted to kind of go home so I guess they didnt really have time to BS- niether did I . I think the price I got was fair. Not in my favor - but not really in theirs either.. I was so tempted to get this Black A-spec Showroom one but they were asking 42k.. So I just settled with another black one and just added the exterior wing & body kit - I have 19"s waiting to be put on in my garage so I didnt really need the A-spec Wheels - I can upgrade the Comptech springs later..

Best of Luck to you - I take delivery of mine tommorow hopefully if they have the parts in stock to start putting it on.
