Default Prrroud New Owner!

Just picked it up from the dealership today around 7pm. Its Formula Red with 38K miles, and I got it for $18,000. I traded in my '01 Acura CL Type-S for it, and yea, pretty big difference. The Acura was slightly modded, its black and it has an Intake, Headers, Exhaust, Springs, etc. Too bad it was an auto I only got $7,500 for it, the mods definitly brought the trade-in value down, oooh well though. You can check it out @ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2096023

Anyway, here are some pics of my neeew toy!

Congrats, skillmatic! Welcome to the board and welcome to ownership!

Yeah, with mods it's generally best to put back the stock bits on resale.

Enjoy. And take it easy getting used to the car. This is a very different driving experience than you're used to.

Oh, and check the oil level immediately (and at every future fill up) to make sure you're not low. Our cars have an appetite for the stuff (which is normal) and you don't want to get caught low.

What an awesome deal!

I've never really seen red on the S before but it looks good!

1. Your dealer, H and A accessories, Go Fast Labs (site sponsors), and maybe even Hardtopguy.

3. 89 works. I think that's a minimum though. You'll be fine. The car has knock sensing, so there's no danger of damage. With lower grade gas there are two issues: reduced peak performance, and less cleaner additives (can eventually gum up the injectors).
