Congrats! How much did you get it for?

There wasn't too much haggling as I was in dire need of a car, but I didn't pay too desperately--
List price: $20,999
Discounted price: $18,999
Negotiated price: just under $17,500 + tax, title, and documents
Thanks, I think Edmunds listed the retail value at $19,999 or so, and the private sale value was 16s? It was Acura ceritifed, one previous owner, and I have bumper to bumper until 100k miles / 7 years from the original sale date, so overall I think it was a decent price.
And thank you for the link, I'll sign up over there at some point this afternoon.

I test drove a mazdaspeed6 a few days ago...the clutch doesn't have a very linear feel, but the car picks up speed with extreme ease once the turbo kicks in. I think you'll enjoy the 6MT in the TSX a lot more. Good luck!
Thanks! Yeah, it's definitely faster than I would need for daily driving. A friend of mine has an '06 Grand Touring and the clutch feels so heavy that I don't think I'd make it through any day in bumper to bumper traffic. The TSX's clutch is nice and fluid feeling, and makes just enough power to keep me happy.
