No, not mine, but my 39 yr. old daughter who lives below Nashville, TN.
I taught her to drive a manual on an 1979 MG convertible.
For college, I bought her a manual Toyota SR5 (I think), an uncommon little sporty car that I didn't even know existed.
She had an Infinity G37 6 spd. manual with retractable hardtop for 7 yrs.
See a pattern here?
She was willing to give up a manual this round.
I hate the stripe.
She loves the stripe.
My wife hates silver cars. With red interiors: I like.
I told her she was just trying to be popular with her teen kids.
Since we are going down to TN & AL for a wedding I said I was looking forward to being with her but b/c of those stripes I have lost all heart of wanting to come and visit.
You got to be tough in our family with my humor. (daughter gets me)
The top is targa-style and lifts out and fits in trunk.
Better than a softtop in my opinion.
It has 27k miles on it.
It was the only one in the US that had everything she wanted on it, but husband only had to drive 6 hrs. down to Mobile, AL to get it.
Since it was not at a Chevy/Corvette dealership, she was able to get better pricing on it.
It cost $30,000 less than new ($67,000), which is about right for a 5 yr. old car .
Price will drop after the L8 comes out, though.
She bought it at $8k under retail, and they gave her NADA value for her car as trade ($8100), so they didn't screw her in the trade-in.
I've always warned her about the rape of the trade-in or how they pump it up by just not coming down as far as they would have.
I think she could have got the car for $2-$3k less if she would have sold her car herself, but most just don't like doing that: it is a hassle, but when I sold my 05 Corolla, someone from INGO bought it: wonderful to see someone get your car that is in perfect condition that you "know."
