Great work, thanks for sharing! Best color combo out there!! This color really needs to be seen in person to get the full appreciation of the metallic qualities but your videos do a great job of catching all the angles.
I see more Lightning Blue R's with the black stripes also, I think we...
In your circumstance, I'd just put street tires on one set of CF wheels and have Cup 2 on the other, and put the cup 2's on the one you're taking to the track that day.. that way you still get to use the CF wheels every day (why not?). And if you are taking a trip, throw on the 6G's. :D
First off, welcome to the R club! You're in for quite a special experience, but I'm guessing you know that!!
So they offer you the car at $2K over for cars that are selling for much more, and you come back with "No I want MSRP"? Major Balls.
Good for you, however, most dealers are on the...
The thing is this- the car is on the ground ready for a buyer RIGHT NOW. The announcement on the 2018 #'s is relatively fresh, and the market has gotten stronger on R's for now. I'd gladly sell my 2017 for $30K over if someone wants to wire me the money! But in all reality, it's a pipe dream...
Addressing your concerns by #:
1- Just make sure to buy a Track Pack vehicle or 2017. Problem solved.
2 & 3- if you want to avoid the recall, buy a early 2017 post-recall car that was not effected. Then just be sure to check the oil on a regular basis.. this is a high performance car...
Very excited for you Tom. It would be nice to walk out to the garage and see 2 R's parked there! You have a great plan in place, I agree that the R is a solid car that you can have a ton of fun in and still get most of your investment back (if not more).
I'm not sure what would be worse...
how could such a high performance engine on a car that has every other conceivable gauge that you can monitor on the dash, but no low oil level warning light? Just makes ZERO sense.
This guy obviously has time to waste and doesn't mind burning other people's time.
Do guys really get excited about a 1 of XX color combo on cars in 2016/2017? I just don't get it. This isn't a 1965 Shelby and I can order any (potentially) stupid or crazy combo I want nowdays.
I went through this with my C6 Z06.. some were having problems and the paranoia was up. But the reality is/was, only a very small percentage of people had problems.
For the record, I once owned a brand new Nissan Altima as my daily driver, and in year one with 7K miles on it it needed an...
