Okay, enough already. I didn't "bash" the car. I am only 20 years old but have loved this car since it first came out in 2000. THAT's why I was so "excited". Further more, I didn't take the car anywhere near the redline, the highest I got was about 4000 and then downshifted and coasted into the service bay, thats all. By the way the car is a 2005 and has 15000+ miles on it so if I had "abused" it wouldn't have done the damage you say I did. So guys, lighten up. 
P.S.- Thank you Lsos and Planets for giving me a chance. To all the others who didn't

Facts? Who needs facts? Let's all just jump down the guy's throat and flame him for simply mentioning that he finally got to drive an S and now he wants to buy one.

Gee, a lot of you forgot the days when you were teenagers. I'm sure 90% of you would have done the same if you were in his situation.
I used to work at a chrysler dealership back when I was 17 and did my fair share of evil stuff.

"We care a lot about our cars and when they are left in the hands of "experts" we expect them to act in a professional matter. Many do and many don't. Unfortunately none of us really know how our car is treated when left at the dealership. So when you post stuff like this and don't explain precisely what happened, we think the worst. Its human nature. If what you say is the truth, then I apologize for jumping on your back about it. Good luck with your search." as stated by Blue S2.
100%.
Good luck buddy....

...and I also apologize for jumping down your throat. Like I said I said previously, what you said in your first post sounded to me like a worst case scenario.
Good luck with getting a car for yourself which you can redline.
