The dealer showed me this RPM adjustment switch on the dash. He tried explaining it to me but his thick accent was too much for me to understand. What does it do???

 

You can set a visual alarm and beeper when you hit a certain RPM. I set mine at 4000 RPM during breakin. It really helps during this period.
Read the manual for setting options.

Mine is set for 4100... I hit it OH TOO EASILY... I need a time machine to break this beast in... (and a radio who wants to drive a thousand 'easy' miles without tunes...)

 

Esso,

Did you get your STi yet?!?!

janq, my STi is sitting in the lot waiting for me but I can't get it until I sell my current car (98 mustng GT 5 spd) I've had it advertised for a week so far on many sources online and off and have not had ONE SINGLE inquiry! NOT ONE! I know I'm in the right askign price because I've dodne the research but no one wants mustangs I guess, or at least not now! I don't know what I'm going to do...

I told my dealer my predicament and said I'd call him back this coming Monday to update him on my car selling situation. I'm hoping the weekend might spur some buyers or at least inquiries. If nothing happens this weekend, I'm afraid I'll have to pass on my VIN# and tell him to sell it to someone else and get one as soon as I can sell my Stang.

I refuse to trade the car in for 9 grand canadian! That would be a travesty and financially irresponsible.

 

Dang man....that bites big time.

The dealer isnot going to help you as he know's your over the barrel. Could you afford to donate the car to a charity and take a deduction on your taxes against the documented value (private owner sale)? Folks here in the states do it all the time with working vehicles that they can't get rid of or don't have time/energy to sell.

If not let me know as I'm chock-a-block with novel ideas.
I once sold a 6yr/old SVX with a slipping transmission for payoff and walked away ultimately making money. It takes work but its possible to do. And there is zero market for an SVX. : )
