Update...I looked at a 2013 asphalt 6MT today. They gave me the car to drive for a few hours as well.


Something was chirping in the engine bay after driving it around for a while. I could hear it from cabin, windows closed. It wasn't coming from fuel pump/rear. Under hood of car sounded like belt/AC compressor even thought PS pump then reminded self car has electric steering. Another thing was the idle wasn't very steady. And every time at a stop when I had the car in neutral, clutched in, and put it in gear there would be a very light thud almost as if someone lightly kicked the back of my seat. They said they'll look into it. On top of that the issue I had was its modified more than my liking on the electrical side of things.


$24,400 was the final price. 4k down, 84 months at 5.98 to which I would've paid off under half that but the low monthly payments are attractive. It has 15,000 kms and this is what it has with receipts to prove:


-Rubber winter floor mats
-OEM 17" rims and tires
-3M clear bra protection
-A/M MSR 5 spoke 17'' rims with studded Nokian Hakka winters
-A/M Parrot nav/stereo and has a sound system installed. Ugh...I hate sound systems.
-Remote starter, keyless entry, ignition so car doesn't turn off till you've closed door and/or locked it.
-3 free oil changes (I'd rather do them myself though)




I didn't go through with it but told the guy the car is still on my radar. Now I have time to think, compare, and maybe get input from you guys on this. The extras are nice, but I'm not crazy about them. I'd rather stock/virgin with none of the issues that presented themselves. The nav/stereo wasn't functional either and they told me they would have to hook it up and "activate" it.
