So I finally did it. I was looking into getting the new R3 but with the state of the economy now i couldnt afford to stick my neck out that far. I found a really good deal on this one and had to drive 317 miles to get it. Its a 04 with 32000 miles. Its snowing here in Michigan so I havent had a chance to take any good photos myself but here the one one the dealership took.

 

very nice, and grats man.

 

Thx. I checked and the recalls have been done. I dont think the TSB have been done but it cranks right up with no problem. The dealership did give me a new battery tho.

Not sure about the cd player. I believe its a 6 disc changer but I cant add more than one cd. I even held the load button in.

 

Wow that thing looks brand new!

 

WOW it looks really nice...probably the cleanest your car will ever be too.
i like the pic that's got the mazerati, bentley, and BMW in the background.

 

Congrats. Welcome to the club. That 8 looks clean!

 

I drove it to work one day and when I got home it was all dirty from the wet snowny roads. I was pissed! Thats place had a lot of exotic cars. I was impressed.

 

lol i know how you feel...i've got a 1/4 mile gravel driveway that looks like a mud pit right now.
i cry a little on the inside when i see how dirty my car is sometimes

 

Welcome to the club, that is a nice looking 2004. Those tires look like the OEM 'summer' tires. If your going to drive the car in the ice & snow getting dedicated winter tires is wise.

 

sweet car !

 

i have a gravel driveway also... i cry a lot on the inside when i realize how much time i spend with my baby cleaning and waxing her, and it only lasts 1 day. once i park it and leave her in the driveway..... well by the next day she is dirty again.


gratz on the 8! looks really nice, and good choice of color too.

 

lol yeah people always tell me "your car is never clean" i just tell them come drive your car on my driveway and we'll see how clean it is.

and it doesn't just get the outside of the car dirty, it gets into the car too... pisses me off!!! (im talking about the gravel dust)

 

really shiny, nice interior

 

I will for next winter. I still have my leased commander for now. I have it until march. I plan on putting some black 18's on ( kinda like Risky Business) this spring.

 

looks great man and welcome to the club!!

 

welcome! good looking vr

 

congrats and welcome! car looks nice! where abouts are you located? i'm in ann arbor. i haven't been able to drive a lot either 'cuz of the snow and arctic cold but i did go out for a spin last friday, before it started to suck again. enjoy!

 

Im on the eastside. I had to drive to Chicago Monday to buy it. That was a nice drive back and I drove it to work one. I also have a kawasaki ninja that I ride track and street. This car reminds me of riding my bike and is just as fun.

 

that looks suspiciously like my old car

 

How was your experience with CarSource, USA? I've looked at several cars of theirs on the net, but never visited the dealership. Were they top notch?

 

Wow, beautiful VR

Grats on the pick up - welcome to the addiction

your pic's make me wish i took pic's of my 8 when i picked it up from the showroom too

 

I can't tell with the pictures, but I am going to guess you have the MP3 cd player which only loads one disc.

 

It was a good experience. I thought they were going to try add some hidden fees once I got there. They knew I was coming from metro detroit but it didnt happen. You should check them out. I dealt with George. We was a straight up guy. NO bs.

 

very nice looking, welcome to the addiction!!!

 

I have the ^disc and down buttons. It doesnt say MP3 anywhere but it may just be. It also says disc 1 when I put the cd in.
