Welcome to the forums, what did you want?
Well you see what happened was.... My brother works in the body shop of a dealership. It got bought out by a new company that has a Lexus, Mercedes, Toyota/Scion, Nissan and Infinity. This allowed me to get a bit of a discount. Well you can imagine on a pubic safety salary the bulk of the companies stock would be out of my reach. I initially wanted a Honda civic because those things run forever. I was interested in the Corolla but even the base modle was a little expensive. I saw a new Sentra fully loaded that I liked, but again too expensive.
Ultimately I wanted a 4 door with good MPG and automatic transmission (10 years with a manual in horrible traffic was more than enough.) After looking at a bunch of cars this one seemed to have the most bang for the buck and seems to be a very reliable car. So I went with it.
I got it Sunday and so far I am pretty happy. I am interested in a few upgrades. I am thinking about the arm rest attachment. Maybe an air intake to up the HP a bit. I see the strut stabilizer but I have limited knowledge in cars and I am uncertain how beneficial this would be in normal driving.
