I agree with what you're saying, that's why I don't want the ts. There seems to be a glut of them on the lots down here but next to none of the limited with the pp. Can't seem to find a deal on a 2018 yet. I think the best I've found is 28,8xx plus tt &l. or 30,500 OTD.

Dude, just let people spend their money on whatever they want, lol.

If they want a damn tS then I honestly can't see how on earth it affects you, other than them getting a damn tS (I like the tS so I'm not hating, fwiw lol).

Dude, I’m not telling anybody what to spend their money on. Dude, I’m just making sure that people are properly informed when they think that they might as well get a “damn tS” because “it’s only a couple grand more”. Dude, it doesn’t affect me, I’m just giving people the same information that I would want somebody to give me in the same situation. Dude, I don’t see how me giving somebody a heads up affects you so why do you care? Oh yeah... lol.

Lowest ts on cars.com is already down to $32,283 and the car just came out. No doubt it will drop even more because they just don't sell. I bet if you wait a few months you can get one near $30k.

Doesn’t matter, spoiler spoils entire car. Looks goofy. Yes, you’ll be getting made fun of by many drivers. That spoiler is just not necessary.

How many have sold so far? There are only 500 of them.

Not sure how many have sold but it seems like every dealer in the Austin, San Antonio and Houston area has multiple units on the lot. Every dealer I've contacted has tried to push one on me, getting decent offers of upper 32-33k. But that's not cheap enough for me to purchase one.

Meanwhile there are dealers elsewhere that are charging a mark up and getting it with no issues. My whole point was just because it doesn't sell in a certain region does not mean it doesn't sell at all. It is a big continent and different areas have different sales numbers. What is too much money for you or I is just right for somebody else so with the limited numbers they will sell out and there will be people pissed that they couldn't get one. Just not in your region maybe (certainly not in mine).


No doubt the dealers in Wyoming think nobody buys the damn things.


In my case if I went by local numbers there is only me and two other dudes but drive 2 hours away and they are tripping over each other.


Both the coasts seem to love the things.

Good thing I’m not insecure and don’t care what random people on the road think of my car

Here in SoCal, any tS without a $10k or more markup is being sold almost off the back of the truck.
Probably why California gets over a fifth of the total production.

I get clunks when my endlinks come loose. Is more of an issue with my aftermarket links than my OEM but I had it happen with OEM links too. I actually have to tighten mine again once the weather gets nicer.

I'm getting this noise all the time, whenever I go over a bump.
I currently have 1200 miles.
