She has arrived

I just bought a 2005 Titanium Grey GT with red/blk int. with a spoiler, appearence package, rotary accents. It is loaded except nav. I bought it used but it only has 3k miles on it. The guy never drove it and it was only a weekend driver. It is in flawless condition.

I did. I was sold on the red/blk int. from the start but the only one is in georgia with that combination. That is too damn far. Plus I wagered the dilema of buying new and how much this car depreciates so I found one with etrememly low miles and I got a steal of a deal so I went for it. This color looks really good in the sun aswell. Plus my police car is white so I get enough of white cars per day

I did. It is 1/8th scale. I have 73 others aswell. I was going to get a 96 viper in blue with white stripes but I could not afford the insurance or the service on it. All my money would have gone to the Viper. I will get one some day

Me either. I love black, but my eyes kept wandering back to the ti grey . My 8 didn't come with the appearance package, so that will be next after window tinting and winter rims/tires. I've got the black/tan interior. Everything else is the same as yours though.

Not around here. I looked at every dealer within 100 miles of me. The car is loaded and every car with those features is around 34k. The most anyone would go down was 29k. It is a sweet car to drive though.

I think it's crazy how much the prices on these cars vary. I know dealers base it demand in a given area but damn. I love my car but I would not have paid anything over $26 for a new 8. I paid $24,878 OTD for a new 05 GT 6MT with only 68 miles on it about 3 mos ago. The same dealership had a few 06 GT's starting at $26-27k but they had cloth seats. I talked the dealer into giving me $12k for an 02 Civic Si with a CRV swap in it. I had a little money tied up in the civic but after the deal was done they even allowed me to remove all the items I wanted from the car......guages, pod, stereo, etc. I got a really good deal but it took me 4-5 hrs of BS at the dlrship. Trust me, you can get any reasonable price you want if you play the same games dealers try on you. Never let them run your credit until they give you an OTD price on the car.

Congrats man! The color combination must look really sweet. Gray w red/black interior. I think it works better than white with red/blk interior so GREAT choice.
OH and gray doesn't have the curse of the silver LOL

That is a really sweet sig. My wife like tigger and she thought that was too cute. Those were her words, not mine. I am getting clears next week. I need the hp boost.

It does. I didnt go to buy the car but when I first saw the combo together I had to have it. I have been driving it all day. I went out last night with my brother and his friend. They love the car. I need to puts some red and blue lights on top of it now.
