We've been shopping for a car recently and i have been in the Kia's, Hyundai's and Ford's (and Chevy Cruze), and the Ford has the current Kia beat. As such, i'm sure the Focus will be a couple grand more expensive than whatever this Kia might be.

We're getting very close to the 2012 model year, so i expect to hear some real facts from Kia soon.
I've been looking at the new Focus as well. It would be a dream come true if I could find one of these, un-molested..

Cool! Should be good times! How long do you usually take when photo mobbin? Just curious! haha

And my BS:
2007 Cobalt SS Supercharged - $12500
Is it me, or is this guy asking a lot for his Balt?! He doesn't have any specs posted, but assuming it's mostly stock, that's seems way high. I paid $7300 for mine with 85k on it...granted I got it with some blemishes and all, but still!

2007 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe 2D Trade In Values, Reviews - Kelley Blue Book

$12,5 for mine. I guess his is a tad high for the miles. It usually takes a couple hours tops, shooting the ****, re-parking like 100 times, moving from place to place. Good times.

Reasons why I'm an *******.
1) I'm seriously considering de-modding back to just GMS1 level+Exhaust+Rims. Don't know why, just kinda feelin' like it.

Take all your mods off. I bet you get the same or more for your trade in.

True, I won't argue with that at all. I certainly enjoyed spanking the **** out of a new Camaro SS who tried to race me on the...er...Mexican highway the other day :-)

I guess my thoughts are that I'll be completing my Ph.D. soon, moving and getting a job, and that I should really consider selling my car so that we can get my wife a CR-V because she has been wanting one for a couple years now.

Check under the column there should be a little plate you can take off.Inside is a button that you push then your key will come out.Chris knows all about this

New downpipe will go on saturday as I will have access to my buddys welder which he's a semi-truck/diesel tech.I cant wait to feel the difference from a 1-3/4 inch DP to a 2.5 downpipe!
