Yes Jeff, I went way over the original spending limit.
I really didn't want a red car, and then there was silver. Gees, 3 silver cars in the stable, nope, decided against it even though there was a lower mileage silver one that another dealer was going to match the price as for the white one. Difference was that the silver one had been side swiped, the driver's front door was damaged and repainted, and.............. it had no balls compared to the white one. I saw a red one, but I am totally against bright red as I just never had good luck with bright red cars. Black, well, worse than white to keep clean, though looks great when clean.
In the end, I got brand new tires (free, though the originals would pass certification), brakes serviced all around (new pads and rotors machined, though originals would pass certification), a free alignment, usual basic certification stuff, the car was detailed (I gave it a pass, though could have been better), 4 year extended warranty (at dealer cost), two factory keyless remotes (none were with the car when it was returned to dealer), and I will be picking up a
Kodak 4MP camera (C330) with printer docking station on Thursday which I get for free.
Stock, heh, you know it won't stay stock for long. Possible plans for the future as follows, and in no particular order.
1. Replace stock speakers as it didn't have the BOSE upgraded speakers, maybe a small sub box, staying with stock head unit since this car will not have a spot in the garage.
2. ASP 3.4" supercharger pulley (15 to 20hp)
3. K&N Intake kit (15hp)
4. Magnecor 8.5mm wires
5. Eibach springs with either GM Performance struts (Konis) or KYB GR2 struts
6. Custom or Borla exhaust system, U bend mod (exit pipe after main converter)
7. Upsize brakes to Impala 12" fronts, maybe rears too (have to confirm fitment)
8. Bigger sway bars
9. Stainless steel brake lines, if available.
10. MSD coil packs (3 of them)
11. Chip or upgraded ECU.
12. Bigger throttle body, if available.
More items may be added, but at the same time, this is a wish list.
