GF just got an MP5

[tacoflvdkisses]

My gf just bought a used 2002 MP5. She loves the car so far. I like it too. I was looking at the MP5 before I got by WRX. I think its by far the best looking wagon/hatchback.

She is not really into performance mods like I am but i'll probably end up upgrading her stereo.

Just wanted to say hello.

p.s. I've been trolling the boards and you guys are a lot friendlier than the guys on nasioc.com!

How much did she pay? She might have gotten a HUGE deal on a new one!

Welcome to the board. Hope she (and you) enjoys the car.

I am not competely sure how much she paid in the end, but i believe the car was approx 10grand with 29k miles. She got it from Hertz rent a car.

Money was an issue. Her old car was totaled and she couldn't afford big monthly payments since she is nursing school. She prob could have paid another 3-4k and got a brand new one. That would have been over her budget.

Oh man, I don't think I would ever buy a car from a rental car company.....geesh!

 

[tacoflvdkisses]

I expressed my concerns to her and her family. I was over-ruled.

I was like you know the old saying,
"Beaten like a rented mule"

Yeah, the people at NASIOC tend to be SOOO serious. I think people here are alot younger (on average) and alot more easy going/fun-loving. If you ask a FAQ on on NASIOC you'll get hammered about why you didn't search the msg base. Reply to a thread with a msg that doesn't contribute to the original discussion and you'll hear about it.

Don't get me wrong, I love that site (this one ain't too bad either). Its proven to be invaluable to me over and over again. You can research the most obscure problem or how-to and usually find it easily.

she made a good decision, I wanted my p5 first time I saw it.. my BF helped me get it, and now I cant help but to keep getting aftermarket parts for it, even raced it at the track to tests its power..its gotten me into all the import scene.
