Looks great man congrats.

FYI for anyone who cares:
10 miles on the ODO, it had an added accessory ($99 trunk carpet mat) but i didnt try to argue about it and I kinda wanted one anyway

dealership had nothing special for us but claimed they'd "try to get something" arranged, they didnt give me a car-cover (which i forgot to ask for too) so i'll f/u with them about that, financing was pretty straight fwd, got the 1k off for college rebate, rate was 3.25/60mos

Wow cars still a newborn ^_^

Yeah that's how mine should be coming in with a carpet trunk mat or w/e it's called. Congrats on the rebate and rate. Better ask about that car cover cuz you're an 86er lol. Special treatment fellas

First drive:
I've already put about 80 miles on it in the first night...I don't know how to describe stuff in really technical terms so forgive me.

Just cruising on the freeway, nothing fancy, it was okay. I'm not gonna say I was blown away, but wasnt expecting to be especially just driving down the freeway at 11pm, I'm sure it'll be more fun after 'break in' and once i get used to it a bit more...right now i was just trying to make it home lol though i had at least a few people staring at me and not letting me change lanes by paralleling me anyhow, pics to come!

chate · 05-13-2012, 03:18 AM

No special treatment, they were fine overall no drama at the dealership, but I didnt appreciate the GSM saying something about "make sure to kiss their asses" because I brought up the nice party that Pecking got at Longo and special treatment for the first86, trying to let them know that they were kinda halfass about this whole thing.

The fleet manager who did the paperwork for us was very nice as was the finance guy, the GSM was a turnoff, and kept emphasizing they wont make any money on it (like i should feel bad?) and was also the guy who never answered any of my calls or voicemails over the last 5 months and then said "oh man i havent heard from you for a long time!" when we got there today...ugh sorry i'm venting now because i'm sleepy and grumpy

Yessir!

It takes away from the "first86" experience for sure, but in the end the real loser is the dealership because people will read my story, vs MotoP or Peking and prob go with their dealerships instead haha. But hey, no markup, so ultimately I'm not gonna hate on them THAT much...but that FR-S backpack is pretty damn nice, so i'm def jelly of this:
