My Offer on New 2014 Limited

[housecat]

That's an amazing deal, I'd take it right away. I looked into getting a 2013 BRZ last year, and the dealer wanted a few hundred dollars over the invoice price even though it was sitting on the lot for a year!

As for color, I once really disliked silver. However, a while back I found a silver RSX-S in really great condition. The car was so good that I bought it even though it wasn't the color I liked. However, the silver really grew on me and I started liking silver on cars. No regrets on that purchase.

i would not buy it. some people do not care about the color of their car, but it sounds like you do. i think it will bother you

The more and more I look at picture of the silver, the more I like it. It really defines the muscularity of the lines well. I think I disliked silver because most cars on the road are silver, and I Like to rebel! Lol going to try to talk him down another grand and a half.

I'll let you know if I become a part of this family!

I wanted to buy a 2014 World Rally Blue, but the dealer couldn't get me one, so I ended up getting a Dark Grey Metallic instead. It bugged me at first, but then I started to like the color, and now I love it and I'm very happy I got this instead of blue.

It would have bugged me a LOT more if I paid extra for a certain color.

I wanted a DGM but settled for SWP so I didn't get my preferred color. I regretted it at first but I really grew to love the color and I'm happy with it. You might grow to love silver but do what you feel is right.

$25K out the door is a great deal. Honestly, I think silver is a great color on these cars, the darker colors like black show dirt and every little ding and scratch. Congrats.

Thanks everyone! I don't know why, but now they're offering to drive it up to me (an hour away) so I can pick it up tomorrow instead of on the 30th!

So on that notion what is everyone's opinions with taking it right away and driving 8 hours one way? Hahaha

To make you feel better, a dealer down here in FL told me he had a great deal on a used 2013 with less than 10k----only $22k.

Good Morning everyone! Today is delivery day, are there anything specific I should look for? Read a couple common issues, but think they're on older models, ie. Plugs, alarm activation, small stuff like that...

Congratulations! Despite the color debate, you are getting an incredible car for an incredible deal. As for issues:
-Plugs - not sure about this one?
-Alarm activation - check the manual, but on my 2013 it was defaulted to off, so be sure to activate it to sound if you prefer that.
-Some early cars had window issues where they wouldn't close or open all the way on the first try; I think more of an issue in cooler temps. I've not had this issue here in NC.
-Some early cars had the tail light condensation issue crop up. Not sure if that was cold weather related or not as well, but I have luckily not had the issue. There is a service bulletins on it and dealerships will replace if that happens.

My advice: I strongly suggest getting clear bra for at least the front end of the car. These cars don't have great paint, and they are very low to the ground and take a beating from debris. The front of my car looks like I sprayed it with gravel. In hind sight, I really wish I had done this within the first week of ownership.

My two cents: drive it stock for 4-6 months. Then upgrade at least tires to more grip (consider lighter wheels as well); do a drop-in filter; consider openflashtablet or some other tune solution. For me, the drop-in plus openflash transform the car and give greatest bang for buck.

Post up some pics!

DO NOT buy a new car, in a color you don't want.

Just saw you bought it, hope you enjoy it. Maybe with some mods it can look like you want it to.
