| So Friday I was browsing the local Thrifty Nickel and came across this: Test drove it today and it runs pretty good from what I can tell. Exterior wise is still looks very nice besides the headlight lenses which are prone to fogging up. Still retains the factory Mercedes deck with cd changer in the glove box. It's actually a 6 speed and yeah... supercharged 2.3L RWD. Idk, what's your thoughts on this? I was debating on trading the Nissan but I need some good input before I make any moves. | |

| Yeah that's what Im afraid of. The guy told me the panoramic sun roof doesn't work so who knows the cost on that. Sweet ride though. | |

| Yeah I doubt I'll even consider this trade. Just a few minutes of browsing some forums there are some possible quick fixes for the sunroof but costs of repair would be in the $3k+ mark... and I'm tryin to be ballin on a budget not broke lol. | |

| Stay away, owning an Audi previously, I shy away from German cars now. I would consider buying another, assuming it was under warranty the whole time I owned it, but the day the warranty dropped would be the day I'd be selling it. They are ridunkulously expensive to work on, and have fixed. I probably put more into that Audi I owned than I sold it for after 2 1/2 years of ownership. I loved the car, but man was it headache after headache. | |

| I cruise by that car every day and wonder why the price tag is less than anything else on the lot. Makes me wonder, considering there are some real pieces of junk there. | |

| I bought my first Honda from Soelter. They seem to be pretty straight guys... (not crooked) Haha! But if you notice a lot of their stuff is priced low and it changes over a lot which makes me think that they know what they got and what it's worth/will bring. | |
