Hi everyone,

I am new to the forum. Just bought a 2006 GPW from dublin honda (bay area norcal). I got it for 30,088 and had to locate it using carsdirect. Most of the local dealerships were either out of 2006s or only had red, dark blue, and black. I got offered 29,500 for reds (over the phone), but couldnt pull the trigger cuz I was holding out for white. So, howd I do??? are there really no more whites in the bay or are THEY just hiding them?

Also, is it possible to tell when the VSA is on? is there a light on the dash?

 

Congrats! GPWs sure were hot this year. Hard to find. You are right, there are tons of reds around...

 

I love GPW white....but damn, Laguna Blue Pearl is so sexy.... '

I will be repainting my Silverstone in LBP some day....

 

Hey, do u know how much it costs to paint an S? I am seriously considering buying some random color if I find a good deal and painting it pearl white.

 

When you break down sales by colors, there are only about 500 GPWs sold each year. That plus the fact that a lot of people wanted the black interior, and there are not many to be found. Next year with the black & red interior will be even harder to get a hold of.

 

actually, I think I was supposed to get Tan interior. The email from carsdirect and the lady I spoke with said it was going to be tan. however, when I got to the dealership I was pleasantly surprised to find that the interior was black. I am loving my new S. Now I just got to learn to drive it better as this is my first stick. I used to drive a 96 ls400 and the cars are worlds different. yea... i wont be able to move outta my parents house for another year (unless i get a new job) but i think the trade off is worth it.

also, i was quoted 2500 for a hardtop from capitol honda from a semi sleazy sales guy who didnt check anything... is this quote accurate??? I am looking for a GPW ht!!!
