2013 for $1200 off msrp
First post but I've been on the site a while. Learned a lot about the car from everyone on here.
I've been waiting for the 2014 models to come out but my local dealer has an asphalt 6MT for 1200 off msrp. Apparently it's been on the lot for 100 days so they've discounted it. It has 50 miles on it so obviously few test drives. There's no way to know for sure if the cars been beat on but wanted to see if it's a good idea to jump on the deal especially since there are basically no changes. I figured since I'm relatively new to driving a manual there can't be much more wear than I'd be putting on it while learning. What do you guys think? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 |

Yeah, that's a decent discount and I don't think much damage could have been done in 50 miles compared to me stalling mine probably 30 times since I got it.

If you are military or a recent grad try to stack that discount ontop. Then that'd be a REALLY sweet deal.

true. I would still get it if i am OP. something wrong with clutch later, warranty will cover it of course, it will be different story on warranty part if OP burns out the clutch due to his first manual |

Well i couldn't resist and bought it on Friday. I still have insurance on my old car (2000 Eclipse GT) which is an automatic so i have a daily driver until I'm comfortable. The trade in was a joke so im going to keep it for a few weeks then sell it. Getting used to the MT though.
Thanks everyone! |
