Well, there went the Titanium.
 

I've been lurking around a long time and posted a couple of times. I bought a Titanium Automatic about a year and a half ago and got rid of it today. It was a great car and I loved it. But not as much as my new Black Manual 8. There is a big difference between the two different transmissions. They gave me 24000 for my car with 27098 miles on it. They even let me get my strakes, accents and valve stem covers off of the old car. Payments only went up 40 bucks. I'm loving it...again.

good deal congrats on becoming on of the manuel crowd :D:D:D

very nice....got out just before the curse hit.....

Congrats......real men drive manuals, right?

Congrats on your trade in. I'm looking at it too.
How'd you get 24k for your car? Thats crazy.

Great work on the trade in, that's a very good price. I just bought an '04 6M with Grand touring pack and 14K miles this week for $22k, here on the west coast, so you did well.

titanium 8's rule all...........muahahahhahahahhah

this trend is becoming quite popular

I've had an entire day now to enjoy the manual and I love it.
I got that deal because my Mazda dealership sent me a letter saying they were looking for 2004 RX8s and wanted to buy mine back. Probably crap but hey they really gave me a good deal on it.

Real men are confident in their masculinity. In other words, they don't buy a car just to seem more manly. I have an AT, and I would never switch to a MT.

Legion74, Congratulations... Time to change your Avatar! :D

lucky dude. :)
I wish my dealership would do that and call me up. :D

hhmmmm buying back high mileage standard power autos ..............

Congrats! I have a Ti MT, but the black is an awesome choice too...make sure to get tint...black on black, baby!

I know...I can't even call it the auto swap club anymore because there are too many members at this point.

Thought the "Curse" was for Silvers only?

Yes you are correct... I created "The Curse of Sunlight Silver" thread 1.5 years ago..... :o

maybe he's talking about the curse of AUTOS ;)

Not only did you get the better transmission, but you also got the best color too. Congrats.

Well, I bought the car Saturday morning with 22 miles on it and now here on Sunday night I have 211. 389 more miles till redline.

Autos certainly fill a need ... lots of stop and go ... around town driving ... or folks who don't want to change gears.... modern at are quite good .... for me I will have a manual transmission car until my left knee gives out or I can't afford one. They involve the driver more than an at. Driving a manual is like skiing the edges of a mountain ... being one with the car.

break it in quickly ... so you can really enjoy the drive! :D :D
