This one is being offered for just $200 under book. Either that leaves them negotiating room, or they think it'll go that high.

Sure as hell won't go that high with me. $2000 under the other 6, for a car with two more years on it, Bose for leather swap, another 40k miles on the whole car, 80k more miles on engine and clutch. No way. Under $10000 for this.

ALFA! I NEED YOU!

Those pictures, is one set suffering from significant distortion compared to the other? You're the photo expert here. :p

Actually, I'm pretty sure I can answer that myself with a yes, the 2007 is overblown. Looking from the back end, everything looks rounded, and the V6 badge appears taller. Significant barrel distortion?

Found another set of '07 pictures, there still seems to be a bit of distortion, but it's a lot closer.

The "updated" bodywork sucks cock though. Fucking Mazda just makes their cars uglier every year.

The '04 shots benefit from the angle obviously. Put your camera low to the ground, compose the car to fill the lower half or less of the picture completely, and any car is going to look low, long, and wide.

I just noticed the Mazda 6 has a huge antenna coming off the back.

I seriously just realized it. Don't know how I missed that for so long.

If I can find another $1000 for a down payment to the car, that will save me $29.63 per month, or $1066.68 over the course of the loan.

The 1066 isn't huge, but a $180/month payment is not easy.

ICF, your first objective must be finding out about the Android port. :D

Meh, I'll play with webOS for awhile and see what I think. I like it so far but I am having problems downloading updates from HP's server. They must be getting hammered.

In the first set yes. It makes the Mazda look like a GTO

That was exactly the car that came to mind for me as well.

Oh good.

Now looking at Craigslist for G35x's.

Found a 2005 for $13000 at a stealership with 108k miles, black/black with wood trim. It actually looks to be in great shape, interior looks good, and the '05 update apparently really improved the interior a lot.

Stealership - ANY dealership that does not have a brand affiliation attached to it, e.g. Ford, Nissan, BMW; and/or ANY dealership that sells only used vehicles.

I'm sure some of them are fairly legitimate, but on the surface, they look about the same.

Claims 310 HP by having a CAI, off the stock 280. Pretty unlikely. The gauges on the left A pillar are stupid.
