Got My Car! (Again)

[DBacon1052]

After waiting and waiting to find the right color and right transmission, I finally found her

I've probably talked to every dealer in SoCal at least 3-4 different times trying to get a Argento Auto FR-S. I was just about to give up on this color and go with a white coming in 2 weeks, but decided to try one last time with a dealer 30 miles away. Sure enough they had one in the showroom No dealer add-ons, no hidden BS too! It was perfect.

I told him that I would be about an hour to get there and he said that was fine. Half way there, I decided to call again and I got some bad news. Someone was taking her out on a test drive... Crap He was still deciding when I got there so I started filling out the paperwork immediately. After a few minutes went by, I saw the guy leave. He decided not to get it anyway Relieved, I finished the paperwork and purchased my car.

Argento was originally the color that I wanted to have when I got my first FR-S. The Raven just happened to arrive on May 24th and I jumped on it cause I wanted one right away. Although I don't wish any FR-S the same fate as my first one, everything happens for a reason. I didn't have to pay to ship it from Houston to Cali, I didn't have to pay transfer fees, and now I got the color I always wanted. Today was definitely a great one!

Haha, ya I walked on a LOT of FR-S with bs dealer add-ons, but thats only because im stingy and dont like being pushed around by a dealer who wants to make a few extra dollars

Anyway, I moved to Aliso Viejo and now that I have a car I can enjoy all the beauties of the roads out here.

Well I had a raven for 6 months but I was rear-ended on the 24th/: I already knew I loved the car and there were 20 miles on it, but that's not too bad.

Fair, I had the same sentiments but I wanted to make sure there was no check engine light or strange noises, to each their own, enjoy!
