What have you done to your MS3 today?

[fishdonotbounce]

Bwahaha $14k for an 08.5 CWP GT with 22k miles? Are they high?? Best of luck selling the car Lara. I hope that the next owner understands that it was really well taken care of. I am extremely happy that my car was taken care of so well.

Yeah, I nearly laughed out loud. Unfortunately the Liberty I had planned on buying was at that dealer. He originally offered $13,500 and told me he can get similar mileage (and condition) MS3s for $14-15,000 all day long and that he doubts I can anything near what I want for it. He has lost a sale on that Liberty.. I refuse to go back there even after I sell the MS3.

Wow. I can't stand the nerve of some people. I dealt with a douche bag older guy at Autozone today and almost lost my temper. Either way, good luck.

On another note, I didn't do anything to my MS3. I plan on changing the oil tomorrow and I have a couple other little projects I'd like to get done. It's almost time to go into winter mode so I want to get one really good wash and wax session in (no pun intended lol).

I'm selling it to pick up a sub $10k AWD/4X4 car. The extra cash will be going towards a down-payment on a house.

Well, sorry to hear that, but housing > car.
Doncha just hate being practical?

To continue being a downer....

Drove past the car at Mazda.

I have not had it back since the last post. Mazda still had not still not diagnosed the high rpm rattle (4000RPM and up). The last Mazda update I have received is that they have pulled the intake (manifold?) and cleaned the intake valves to no avail. The ? is pretty much to duplicate the information they have given me.

Bought some new rubber (Fierce Fierce Instinct ZR), had the stock rims mounted. Only mods currently are CPE catback and AEM boost gauge.

Exactly. The house we want is just perfect too.. so it makes the whole situation easier to swallow.

in spring i saw a black with black out on dealer lot 18,900 and i looked for fun, about 42,000 miles. 1st gen. Just for reference Lara

Of course its a low offer....dealers make their money off of the used inventory. They make very little off of new models unless they deck them out with dealer options and keep the price well over msrp, or claim it as a hot seller or unique (think dodge challenger when it first reappeared a few years back)

much like how movie theaters make 90% of their money from their food and snacks and not tickets. Your not gonna be able to sell your popcorn kernels to them for nearly the amount theyll be selling for. Best to do it privately

AutoTrader, y0.

 

[LaraS]

Yep, that's where it is posted now. xD Although AutoTrader messed up and has it somehow listed in MA instead of CT. They'll have it fixed on Monday.

^ lol!

 

[oaklandopen]

Had a dream last night i was going to trade mine in for an 09 cwp with like 5k miles

only thing was it was a repainted tr, so only the outside was white. It also had some kind of cosworth engine with a giant turbo that was mounted in-line with the body telling me it was fabricated into a rwd

never got to drive it though, so i guess it wasnt a "good" dream. I also woke up next to the wife, so i awoke to a nightmare

what is a v1 hardwire?

 

[Domino81]

After owning a Hypertech for some time... I'm glad it's gone and enjoy my Dash Hawk more. And once I have my AP... I'll enjoy it even more. I think it runs better on the stock tune. I swear to ******* christ.

 

[oaklandopen]

^^^Christ doesnt ****. And if you were pinochio your nose would be able to perform a pap smear on a blue whale, you liar

long live hypertech!

Why do you enjoy your dash hawk more that your hypertech is gone? I have both and i like my dash hawk more that i have a tune just because i did not like seeing my fuel trims all over the place.
