Kinda a newbie here. I bought my wife a new sedan in December and referred to here on tips and what not. I wanted to fix her car up but she really isn't into that so she gave me the OK yesterday afternoon to get a used coupe. Within 24 hours I purchased one that I have been researching. Course my wife now probably has me by my pair and will hold this car over my head but it is soooo worth it. Look forward to turning to you guys for advice and opinions.

It is grey on the outside and black inside. Auto, nav, and has the 19” rim option. It’s in pretty good shape. I was so busy checking everything with the car itself, I didn’t even pay attention to the key FOB and whether it worked or not. Of course it doesn't. Are the batteries replaceable in there or do you have to replace the whole FOB unit? I know on my wife's sedan, the dealership told us if we lost them, they were like a few hundred to replace.

Any who, once the weather is nice down here I will for sure take pics.

You can change out the battery...and if that does not work, you better go back to the dealership you purchased it from and demand them to get you another one.

I will go get a new battery and try it out. Here are a couple of pictures of the car. Sorry the car was boxed in when I took them and was to lazy to play musical cars. Quick question though. Tires in the front are 235 35 19 and tires in the back are 245 40 19. Back sound right, but front sound off. I thought people normally go with 225 40 19?

thats not bad a price for a 06 considering it has nav and 19s wheels (and decent mileage) i believe.
