Im Officially An Idiot!!!

today my friend and i went test driving cars at nissan. i asked the salesman if they had a any 02 6 speeds and he said they had one left, he pulls the car around and it is the the grey color i love its got the 6 speed transmission, bose, sunroof and pretty much everything the way i would like it. so we take the car out for a spin and he insist that i beat it up, keep in mind that this is the first time i have driven the manual max so off course i powershifted ever gear. MY GOD!!!! that car pulls so hard, it feels like my car with nitrous. anyway the best part is he tells me that it is going for 21,600!! they want to get rid of it for the 2003s. anyway im an idiot and for some reason did not buy it so of course i couldnt sleep all night because of it. i cant believe i pass up offers like this! someone help me!!

Dang...21,600!!! That is super cheap, you can't even get an I4 honduh accord in San Fran with that. Last time I went to a honduh dealer, I saw an I4 accord coupe going for 28k and a non-sh prelude going for 26k!!! People have so much money to throw away around here. In the bay area, I think the I35s have a 3000 off MSRP thing going on. Mayb next year at this time, they will be getting rid of the 2003 so you'll have another chance next year.

If he told you to beat on it, what do you think he told the other 30 people who test drove it to do?? That's a great price, there's gotta be a reason for them selling so low.

why not go back and get it? who cares why he's selling so low? ask if it's new and everything is clean on the car. if it's never been in an accident and has new car's manufacturer's warranty then it's a great deal.

Yea, it's prolly because those first 200 miles on the odometer are all test drives where people were powershifting/ragging on the car.

I've tried 02 6-spd 2.
this is the 2nd car that gives me those powerful pulling feel.
the first one was my friend's camero Z28.

If I can afford it, I would get it definitely. I would not care about how the next generation gonna be.

yeah.....besides that i think its more thank 500.......

this is what i would do if i were buying a BRAND NEW stick shift...id make sure that the only miles put on it were the ones that were put on it by the truck driver pulling it on and off the truck......thats it...cuz u really dont know what the other people that test drive stick shifts do to the cars........just my .02

that is quite a deal, but if you are seriously going to consider buying it, i would get a lot more info on the car. impulse buying can be the worst thing in the world. take me for example, i impluse bought a maxima, cuz it was hard to find in my price range. now i drive an automatic, and didnt wait to find a manual

or, it could be the opposite, i had a black on black leather 5 speed i could have bought with 80k miles, in my price range. i should have gotten it on my impulse, but no i thought about it too long and ended up buying a auto, 120k, tan cloth int.. oh well
