Back Seats
Well I have been waitin rather IMpatiently since last Thursday when I gave the dealership 5k down payment to pick up my car. I am purchasing a 04 with sport package and only 1500 miles on it for $22,900. Good deal, I think. Anyway in my waiting I have been on here every day reading up on the car. One thing I can't seem to find that just popped into my head is... Do the rear seats fold down at all?? Not going to sway my decision from buying, just a thought. I am picking up the car tomarrow (hopfully) after waiting for the lein release on the car to go through. CAN'T FRIGGIN WAIT!!!!!

Nice! 04 is kinda outdated though, 22.9k really the best deal you could get? >.< I'm sure you could've done alot better!
You'll love the car soooo much once you get it! I guarantee it :p

I don't need to be getting jealous of the new model year every year.

Aha, I get it! (dawn breaks over marblehead. )
Thanks large, Nubo and expo1. This is the kind of info that makes this place worthwhile.
