‘Goodbye’ Integra, ‘Hello’ G35 ; a buy/sell story

[boywonder]

Congrats on the G, Sean. Are you going to put a clear bra on it to protect the paint?

I, myself is in a market for a Nissan 350z so I`m doing all the research that I needed before going into the dealer. The website (carbuyingtips.com) is quite a helpful site, did you actually bring in "the folder?"

If you don`t mind, I`m interested in hearing what you`ve done in terms of preperation before going into the dealer? and your negotiation process.



Thanks! much appreciated.

go through www.autobytel.com and you don`t have to deal with the a$$&*%les. You`ll pay invoice or a couple of hundred over it. No negotiation required. I am surprised so few people know about it.

I don`t think you can call the IS350 a passenger`s car. It is very close in driver`s characteristics to the BMW 330i and has lost by only a point in a recent comparison. The ES is far more cushy and luxury oriented but the new IS is the real deal from a handling and performance perspective.

if i can afford it, this may be my next car (definitely want a 4 door) later down the line... :2thumbs: :woot2:

I test drove an IS350, and I can honestly tell you that you wouldn`t believe how cramped that back seat us until you experience it in person. It is such a let down.



People who need sedans rather than coupes need a back seat that somone can sit in.

That lexus might as well be a coupe b/c the back seat is almost useless.

What a dissapointment.

The dash cluster is extremely cool though!

But who is going to use the back seat in a car like this?

I`m thinking about one as well.

Someone who loves that car, but has children to transport every now and then.

AMEN! That is exactly why we will not even look at an IS. I can fit 3 car seats across the rear seat in the 96 ES we have.

[The_Terminator]

3 car seats?! Holy cow!

I think you need to slow down a little buddy! :har:

wasn`t this vehicle also in a collision?

Sad to see it go, what`s next?

All issues were strictly cosmetic. No reminance of anything from the pranger.

Yeah, there was a thread about that.
