I'm able to get a Gray Metallic GTS 6-speed for $15,500 (maybe even less) and its new, 2011.

However, it has to be sent from another dealership so the local one can trade one of theirs for it. I only drove a base 6-speed and wasn't impressed by the light steering and clutch.

Is the GTS different there? Anyone go ahead and autocross or track theirs?

this is what I'm coming from

Check out RRM. They have some great products for the Kiz, heavier rear sway bar, shock over springs and I believe front strut bar (wish they had a turbo for the CVT). Natually, these will help with the handling.

Thanks, but I'm looking to leave it stock. I've learned my lesson from the RSX; race first, mod later if necessary.

I cant get over how cheap you guys can get these great cars for! We get absolutely robbed over here in Australia!! I bought an XLS (which is the full leather, sunroof, 18" rims etc etc, but not AWD) and I paid $36,000 (remember that currently our Aussie dollar is slightly stronger than the US dollar too!!)

Yes our cars are a LOT cheaper, but not as low as you were told. I would like to see someone's signed financial loan agreeement showing a out-the-door-taxes-included for $15,000. Iam saying it isnt happening.

How much is the minimum pay wage in Austraila? here in the states its $7.50 which puts any new car out of reach.

I am sure you will check it out to be sure no frame damage, etc. - price sounds way to low.

You can search and find links in this forum for the maintenance manual. The alignment specs are spread out over several pages, but I do not have the link handy.

If you didn't buy that GTS tell me who has it and I'll buy it on the spot! Very attractive prices have offered on the Kizzies, but $15.5 k for a GTS is unheard of :o

I would do my research about this vehicle. Sounds too good to be true.

It looks like the 2011s are getting really cheap, but I cant find any GTS's or AWDs for that matter.

They advertised an auto for 17K and I talked them down to 15.5 but demanded a 6-speed.

My reasoning was they had a base S model 6-speed for 15.5 and I wanted a nice looking one for the same. this is 15.5 for the car alone tho, still have to add dealer fee, tax and tag.

they still have a few to get rid of. I guess manufacture rebates let them go this low.

but I do have a feeling they're not being honest as they said that there's no manual within 1000 miles yet a dealer 5 miles away has 2.
