Well, I personally would have waited until the car was paid off before getting a new loan. If your turbo was blown, $1500 for a new turbo is a lot cheaper than $25000

That said, I'm speaking out of my ass, because I don't know what I'm talking about, so the truth is, I am sad to see you go, but happy for ya.
Yeah I believe $4400 was put down on the new car, they lowered the price to $20k which for now is the lowest i've seen the Cruze eco go for so I didnt do too bad there. The 66 month thing kills me. We didnt put any other monies down. All fees and registration/titling is included in the price which is good cause we need to switch the plates over since we just moved to DE. So it would have cost $1200 to register and title the sentra in DE. We kinda did okay in this deal, probably pretty damn well actually.

I would have rather have gotten the 1LT since everything is exactly the same and switched the wheels for the forge light weight ones later (thats where the gas mileage is coming from).

The loan is for like 16,400? or 16,700. dont remember.

If I could afford it, I totally would trade in my cobalt for an eco cruze. Girlfriend has the discontinued black color Eco with fog lights and a 6 speed manual and the 2 tone red and black interior.. Sweet as hell.

relax all, I still have the balt. But we have a Cruze too. My initial reaction to the Cruze and my reaction still is... The cruze is overpriced, but it is decent.

Girlfriend has a Black Cruze Eco with the 6 speed manual....

Fun to drive, comfortable, AMAZING gas mileage and looks and feels nicer...
The ONLY downside is it's a four door and I don't like four doors...
But otherwise, the engine is plenty for what it is. Consistently hitting 40s for average mpg is also very nice..

If I could afford one, I would get one in a heart beat.. Makes my Cobalt look like a piece of ****...

Just realised we were talking about the Cruze ECO not a Lancer Evo.

I want a Cruze too, I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to get one. She won't though, she wants a SUV. Why is it all the girls in my life want big vehicles and all the dudes I know want small cars? Seems weird but maybe I'm just weird.

Well that depends. My '06 ss/sc has the same # of miles and i went to a dealership a while back to check on an evo mr edition i saw from the road, and they offered me $8000 for the balt. Ultimately said no though cuz my evo was an '06 selling for the price of a brand new evo lol

Problem with that is, majority can't drive big vehicles. Maybe it's because they'll feel safe in a big bad SUV.

We want small race cars, because you can't do this in a SUV..
