how much miles on the MSP?
did you have to pay a bif difference?
GAP Insurance...WTH?! I ended up paying a little over 10k for it out the door and thats with them paying off my P5. After everything was said and done I'm only payign 20-30 bucks more a month for this MSP including insurence, gap insurence, 3yr 36k warrenty, ect... ect.... ect....
GAP Insurance...WTH?
Its a Five year old model....THere is absolutley no reason you should need GAP Insurance at this point..Unless you FInanced a Crap ton on this thing.
And waranty.....Wow....They sold you a warranty with the mods...
Its through an Outside warranty compnay isn't it?
Good luck when there is a Problem....My buddy is an Estimator for one of those companines...you have a problem..and they come out and see this things beeen modded...there went your warranty.
Whether it was sold to you modded or not..they don't care..your not insuring/warrantying(SP?) it against problems from being modded.....and neither are they.
Just a Little FYI....
I hate you all. This site has me seriously considering doing a transmission swap to standard.
It started out with a simple intake question 4 years ago and now I'm thinking about doing that. You bastards. I'm addicted to this forum.
Lol jk I love you all (no homo) but I'm tired and not able to believe that I'm seriously considering this swap. And no, I will not just buy a new car. My car is my baby.
Not to rain on teh parade, but, had a buddy buy a Focus moded with lowering springs and CAI and exhaust and wheels and tires.
He bought it from the dealer that way and bought the warranty.
He had pics and everything and the salesman lied and said, sure, it's all covered.
2 weeks later, his car has crappy idle and doesn't have any torque.
He takes it in and they see the exhaust and CAI and say they aren't gonna touch the car with the mods on it.
He doesn't have stock aprts and nowhere in any of his file does it say mods are covered.
So, unless you've got it in writing, i wouldn't count on it
Now let's see pics!!
I've been considering the same, I have a sportronic and purchased this car as a commuter, I eventually caught the modding bug and now I miss a good ol manual tranny.
The sad thing is that I don't know how to drive standard since I never got the chance to. I have heard it's easy to learn (easy to learn, not perfect mind you) but I really want a manual tranny cause I don't even have tiptronic. Not that it matters but I dunno. I want to start piecing together all the parts but at the same time, I don't have anywhere to put them. I guess I'll just have to wait.
