Got a new car, Upgraded from the 1990 Olds Cutlass

[dxkj]

2005 Tiburon SE with leather seats / MP3 Stereo ABS power moonroof, 17 alloy, bla bla, V6, bla,

21,500 msrp, paid 16,980 + TTL for it

P:ictures when I can find my camera.


Oh> its silver... wanted moonlit blue, but out of 14 dealership only 3 had the SE model (highest one), and I had to wheel and deal..


4,500 under MSRP out the door, about 1700 below invoice i believe.


ah, and I got the 100k 10 yr bumper to bumper warranty in case it started acting like an older hyundai




(note, hyundai has been scoring 11/100 on problems vs 10 and 9 that toyota and honda have been having lately... so they arent unreliable pos ... hopefully 🙂

If/when I ever buy a new car, I won't settle for anything other than the color I want.
Sounds good though, I imagine it will be more fun to drive 😛

Read "Tiburon".... then decided to stop there.

I wasnt willing to pay 900 dollars more for a different color..... I could probably save that money for when the paint starts to go and get a custom one.

I have the choice of driving a boring civic, or a tiburon.... so far the tiburon is more fun, and I figured why not go with something that costs less than a civic with the same options.

Plus 100k miles bumper to bumper, at least I know how long it should last

I am not a fan of any of the manufacturer's whose first letter is "H"

edit:// but congrats if you are happy.

With each redesign, the Tiburon has gotten better looking. I really like the concept shots for the next one. Did you get auto or manual?

6 speed manual.... ooyeah


Oh I hated the early tibs... I considered them fugly and thought I would shoot myself before I got one.... but the new body design looks good (to me) I really like the interior... in between the sport car cockpit, and daily driver.
