Kizashi Club

2013 dark blue/tan SE with 48,957 miles.
Brand new brakes, decent Goodyear TripleTreads, clean, mine.

$7,350. They wanted $9K.

Bought in Albany NY.


Since the wife wanted to be on the paper we'll be bringing it home Friday or Saturday.


I hate the colors.

very nice. would cost you between 16000and 19000 in euros over here..20k dollars
I got pulled over to search my car by police for 1st time in my life recently. Not eveybody has that kind of many over here.

enjoy your new ride. nice color.

excellent! Least it's not silver again.

Glad that we're keeping you around for awhile. Can you please post a comparison between your SLS and the SE?

That's a match for my car, maybe even originally from the same dealer. Should even still have a bit of the Suzuki power train warranty left. Things I can think of that you might want to swap/keep from your previous car, if they are things you care about (and if you can):

Fog light kit (brackets, lights, wiring harnesses (segment behind the bumper), dash button. Main wiring from dash to bumper already exists)
Spare tire (if you want a real (compact) one, 2013s lack a spare): spare, hold down, tray
Steering wheel w/controls + paddles (if you care about paddles, the SE should have the "manual mode" shift lever)
Power seat (OK, I've no idea if this would work when swapped over, and sounds like a giant pain, but I remain slightly bitter that my 2013 AWD SE has no power seat even thought the 2013 FWD SE does )

I'd also check to see if any relevant recalls have been done on the new car (or not): spiders (depending on build date) and shifter ... And maybe keep and ear out for rear shock creaking.

2011 S (164,370 miles).

2012 GTS Sport (116,605 miles).

2013 SE 48,957 (10 mile test drive ).

All AWD CVT's.

I kept the rubber mats and owners manual (just in case; the '13 has one). Oh, and them light Enkeis with the X-Ice snows mounted.

In-service date for the '13 is 2/25/2013, so there's significant warranty left.
Struggling a bit with finding the rest of the money -- left my Honda sales job Feb first.

Frankly, this SE is just an AWD place-keeper until I see what the next WRX comes out like.......

That WRX better appear soon starting out a nearly 50k and at the rate you pile on miles. Unless, the lack of a work commute puts a damper on your driving excitement.

Expect the 2019/2020? base automatic WRX to start around $29--32K.

It's always only about the driving. I expect I'll continue to drive as much as I can afford.

Financing coming together.......yay!

I am not buying the current-style WRX.

Congrats, can't wait for pics.
