Picking up Black 2012 Limited tomorrow!

It's for my wife. I hope she likes it!

Black/Ash, JBL (no NAV), think it comes with vehicle shield package and mud guards, stainless steel exhaust tips, premium carpet set. Just wanted JBL--other stuff didn't really care about.

Is the side-molding worth it? It's not on mine.

I'm adding running boards and window tint.

Getting at invoice for $35,483 + running boards/tint.

Thoughts?

For the wife. Her favorite color on cars is black. I kept trying to tell her, it will get dirty so easily. She doesn't care though. She did like the gray metallic (is that what the newer color is called?), but liked the black better.

When it's clean, I have to admit, the black does look really good!

haha... yeah, why black luck 123, eh? I like black too. In fact my previous ride was a black Matrix sport model with the spoilers. Black is a nice colour especially if it is supa clean!

Because black is the best colour on cars by far. The only colour I buy on mine.

People way over do how hard it is to keep clean, any dark colour needs to be cleaned regularly.

And white/silver/grey colours may not show dirt as badly, but its never truly clean looking either, always dull.

This is my/our first new car. Is there a particular page in the contract I should look out for regarding locked interest rate? I got a pretty good rate, and I don't want it being turned over to another company or anything. I don't want to get a letter in the mail saying "such and such" company took over my loan, and now it's 8% or something!

Thanks in advance.

The rate is the rate. If they choose to sell the lian, it just means you mail the check to someone else.

Happy Motoring !

Pretty lady in a pretty car, I'm sure. Congrats!

Yes, at least it's the light gray (ash) leather and not black though. I have black leather in my Trans Am, and that is the LAST time I will ever get black leather in TX. It literally burns when you get in if you don't park in the shade. This is on the verge of becoming the hottest summer EVER in TX. Sucks!

**Edit, I now see you're from TX. You already know about the weather! If they made a Limited with cloth I would have gotten it. Wife actually prefers cloth anyways.**

I have tan leather though, and it's not so bad actually. I always try to park in the shade though.

Wife is beautiful. Sometimes I wonder why she married a goofball like me

Thank you, I hope she enjoys!
