Intro 05 Sedan

Hi all. Just thought I'd make a quick introduction before the questions start flowing

Just bought a 05 Sedan 6-speed. From what I can tell, it pretty much has everything but NAV and the smart key. Nav would have been cool, but it took me long enough to find a 6-speed that was this nice. It has 40k miles on it, and I paid right at $16k (in case anyone is tracking price trends ). The car is in great shape, and it even came with the original key chains, pen, and misc. flair.

I have had several sports cars in the past; a 88 RX7 vert (money pit), 88 300ZX (bigger money pit), and a 99 Corvette FRC. The Vette was awesome, but I was working at a great paying job that I hated, so I ditched the car payment when I realized I could take a lower paying job and drive an Impala!

So after two years, I decided to get something that is still as practical as the Imp, and a lot more fun to drive. I really missed driving a manual trans. I considered the TL, and TSX which are both great cars, but FWD. I have always loved 3-series bimmers and A4s are nice too, but they can't keep up with the Asian cars when it comes to reliability and bang-for-your-buck (IMHO of course).

Hello Brent and welcome! BTW the G can be a money pit too, depending on your plans for it!
I hope you enjoy your time on the Driver! Lots of great ppl and useful information.

Heh, true enough. I should have said those cars were mandatory pits, as in I had to dump money into them to keep them running! I don't plan on doing much to my car, just drive it and enjoy it.

Ah, I see. I'm sure there is the occasional (unfortunately) mandatory money pit for the G...some ppl dont take care of them before they sell them. Such a shame. Let me know how far you get with the whole "not really modding" idea, lol. I'm j/k.
Oh, and 6MT FTW!!!
