    This would be the way I would order it from the factory if I had the opportunity- only missing the challenge wheels.

    How would you price this car accordingly?

    How worrisome is the low miles and getting out all the bugs?

    Thank you.

    I have silverstone over beige, so I like it :) Except I have CS wheels and this one has CCB and racing seats. The latter two options you might want to think about whether you want them or not. Asking price may be ~10K high, imo.

    Well, I'll give you my 2 bits

    The mileage is low. Personally, I'd like to see a few more bugs worked out under warranty but it's not a deal breaker. Even at 5K miles on mine, I'm still having little bugs worked out. Maybe you can get the dealer to throw in some warranty for free.

    I have CCB's on my car. I love them. However, some hate them because they are expensive to replace. The good news is that unless you track the car, the brakes last a long time. The price you're paying extra is definately for the CCB's. They are not "free".

    I was never crazy about the fire extinguisher as I felt it just took away leg space in the passenger compartment. To me, it was an unnecessary option but if someone else paid for it, then I suppose it's OK.

    Personally, I like the colors and the interior. The seats are pretty cool but if they aren't powered, it can be difficult or a nuasance to get in and out of every time.

    If you want Challenge wheels, you can get them for the car. They really aren't that expensive. Sometimes guys sell them when they get aftermarkets. The dealer may even make you a deal just to get the car sold.

    I'm not going to comment on the price because you're going to get a hundred guys here who will tell you it's too expensive. My advice is --- the lowest price is NOT the issue. Finding the correct car that you want IS the issue. It's not like you're shopping for tomatoes at your local market and can walk across the street for cheaper ones. Take a look at the market yourself and see what's out there. Don't be afraid to pay a small premium for a good car that suits you and your desires.

    In the end, your being happy with the purchase is all that matters.

    I agree. Definitely worth paying a bit more for the car you really like.

    I'd go for it. Too many juicy bits and yes I have to agree, they are not for free.
