Replacement car? UPDATE!!

I'll find out if my car is totaled next week. What do you guys think of this as a replacement? 09 TC with 20K miles...BONE STOCK.













This is off the table, at least for now..see update post.

YEP. There's no other car I can get for this price with low mi and this level of performance.
First thing that goes on is my Powell rear bar!

It's called *Sport Red*...does it look like Crystal Red?
This was one of the last 09s built (late Arpril of 09). It also has an RPD...like 2010!
Could be this really be a 2010 in disguise!?

Yours:




This car:
Lighting prolly accounts for difference in pics

So is *Sport Red* different than *Mettalic Red* here? They look the same...just called *Sport Red* for 09s and then they changed the name for 2010?

Edited:
Found this post here...

The only real difference is that sport red is a little darker. And from the one time I saw doesn't have all the flakes the metallic crystal red has.

Yeah sport red is alittle darker. I have sport red and ran into a member with a 2010 metallic red and could see the difference. I like the car that you posted because it's stock but if I were to do it again it would be an ss/tc sedan. Four doors of fury FTW

For 17k... Idk if I'd want another balt if anything happened to mine. Don't get me wrong I love my car, but idk, I just don't think I could do another one. I'd be headling into an Evo or 350z, both cars that I love. Maybe even a C5 vette, since I doubt you could find a c6 for that much, unless you get lucky.

Yeah..but I'm paranoid of GM1 installs . Still, you may be right. 10K mi difference really doesn't mean much here.
