Well, decided not to get the SRT-4. Went down and test drove the RSX-S and was hooked. Nice looks, reliability, hatch-back, decent performance, good re-sale value... and it's not a dodge!
Had USAA negotiate a price w/the dealer... after taxes, title, documentation, ect...$24,169... I'm happy with it. Loan get's finalized tomorrow...got a nice 2.9% interest rate  Breaking it down, I got the car for $400 over invoice... but a full $2000 less than sticker price.I'll take pics when I go pick up the car...should be within the next 3 or 4 days. As for the Celi... selling it to my buddy for $4K... so at least I'll get to see it a lot and know it's being taken care of

-------------------- the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.

[right][snapback]279317[/snapback][/right] I'm putting a little over $5K down... so I'll have $19K to pay off... that's including taxes,title, documentation, ect... Insurance is $270 a month...on the 36 month loan it's roughly $530 for the car payment... so about $800 a month w/insurance. Insurance still sux b/c I'm only 19, about to turn 20. Waited untill I was 18 to start driving too. But, I'm proud to say that I'll have bought two cars now... all with out 1 cent from my parents, unlike a lot of people my age. Of course, it helps having a great job with 100% job security.

I pay about $60 (Canadian dollars) a month for my Celica and I'm only 19. |

[right][snapback]280373[/snapback][/right] I'll post the pics soon... took a few pics today, but nothing grea. Engine bay is so damn clean. Hell, the car had exactly 2 miles on it when I picked it up. The red interior lights are tight too, and the sound system is surprisingly good. It's funny, as soon as I parked in my driveway to move the celi, some punk kid with a V6 stang w/exhaust starts reving at me, then peels off. Thought it was funny, considering the older model v6 stangs, while faster than my celi st, they didn't exactly leave me in their dust. Put 26 miles on the car today...only ~575+ miles to go until ivtec
