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Nice! 04 is kinda outdated though, 22.9k really the best deal you could get?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 |
The rear seats DO NOT fold down, there is a storage bin in between the seats that comes out and is open to the trunk. Maybe good for a set of Ski 's??

Correct--I've read that the crossmember between the C-pillars is essential to cabin rigidity, so folding seats are out. The rear seats in the 8 are far superior to the typical folding versions found in less-expensive sedans (like the Corolla I was stuck in for a week while the body shop restored her crumpled bottom)

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. Krankor 05 Shinka 6MT |
