Oh alright, sorry I didn't research that model so I assumed there were more options. I've seen the 40th in person & the interior is a lot nicer than I would have expected. Congrats & enjoy.

Just remember to break your engine properly the first 2k miles and to not surpass 4k rpms until the engine is warmed up. Unless you don't want your engine to last yooo

Welcome

Gongrats. I to have a 40th, curious as to what you paid. I paid 10K plus my 05 touring with 28k miles on it. Mine is a 6mt with aeros, trunk goodies and spare. Bought mine 3 mos ago here in so fl. Sticker was 34K. Carmax had offered me 11K for my 05 touring. Thought I did well. They were not selling here. Love the car, better handling, lighter clutch pressure, better gearbox.

That spoiler is badass. Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing any on the lots with a spoiler either. I'm sure I would've remembered that.

Damn, I wish I had waited a year. I'd be driving a 40AE now. Grrrr....
