There are alot of people who waste money taking their car to dealer for the smallest stuff. Why pay $30 for an oil change when you can take it to jiffy lube or walmart express oil and have it done for $20? Most places give coupons, you sometimes its cheaper than that. I sent you a PM a while ago, did you get it?

I figured atleast since I just got it I'd take it to the stealership for the first time to get eveything checked out and all. Not sure about an auto exam. I do know a pretty good mechanic at my cousin't shop who could probably do most of the small stuff... maybe he could do the lowering springs if I get some. I really want to get a grill.. I like the E&G one. Trying to find a good prie on one.

I replied to your PM... preciate it.

The car looks good bro. I love black cars but keeping her clean is a B***! You can get rid of the pinstripe quite easily. If you're afraid to do it yourself, or can't be bothered, a body shop will do it for like $25. It takes them two minutes for each side with the rubber eraser wheel and air tools.

Yeah. that's about the only downside to black cars. I try to keep it in the garage as much as possible so hopefully that'll help.

Thanks! Luckily for me, I had more avenues besides dealers so it took me about a month to find the exact car I wanted. I'm happy with it. It has everything I wanted and it's in excellent shape.
