I have a 6 year loan. So...

Good advice, though. It also makes me a little suspicious of used sports cars. It's not like this is something that would show up on a carfax report.

No, he meant that they didn't drop the car in the manner than he'd hoped - it wasn't as low as he'd hoped.

A "while" can depend on a lot of things.. Each person will probably have a slightly different answer.

How much do you drive your car? (miles per year?)

I drive my car roughly 18,000 per year. Which has always kept me from just leasing. I definitely drive more than 15,000/year, which technically qualifies as "high mileage."

I had Eibach Sportlines first.. shiets was dumped!! but blew my stock shocks, being too low for the shocks.

I ended up getting CO at the end anyhow. I sold the springs to someone else and used that money and more of my money to get the new set.

There's a quote somewhere..
do it right the first time...
but.. I do understand
we are all impatient. if we can't have it now, it's always option B that will work for a short time.
BTW, Sprockethead meaning.. your from a M/C background?
