i'm sure if you had cash for down they'd come down on the price...
we were gonna buy an XL-7 from them for the wife a while back & they're really willing to make deals...but wifey wasn't diggin the power/accelleration...so we turned it down.
they're not high pressure sales either...pretty decent dealership i think...but we didn't go thru the whole process so i can't guarantee it.
thbis would prolly even make a fun daily driver for a while until you got a new OBS (w/ the 06 face
)
oh, and as much as i would love to buy your wrecked 2.5....i think i'll have to pass...
i don''t have enough to liquidate to make it happen and the wifey is not down w/ me touching our home equity line for the ballance...
sorry bro...it would be a great buy! but just not the right timing.

Ah, stockton... good times, lousy venue. Thanks Dan. 
And actually, the timing was pretty good... I don't think I would have pocketed $13,500 by selling the car.

No problem on the RS, I know it's short notice. I'd love to be able to get it and stash it for future project use, but I can't afford three cars, two is hard enough. That Miata looks good, but it's out of my range since I need a wagon more than I need the miata. Luckily, I managed to score both. Found a '96 Miata in Santa Rosa, with hardtop and okay miles for $6k, and a 2000 L wagon in WA, blue ridge pearl, with a couple sweet mods for $7500. Worked out perfectly.

TTIWWOP!
post up the new rizides!
(unless thy're still being delivered)
congrats!
BTW...if you bought everything outright, you should take out a small $4000 note on one of them...buy back your 2.5 and swap the engine, dash, steering wheel, shifter & boot and any other goodies into the wagon! you'll def want the extra power! and payments on a $4000 loan will be cake!
don't let that shell slip out of your finger!!!!
