No Problem & good Luck.I'm Not Sure If They Will Let You Test Drive The Car Before You Buy It I Know I Didn't Even See The Keys Until I Send The Paper Work But Every Dealer Different.

Out of curiosity what was the price the dealer is giving you? I ordered a 2013 in WW and am curious what you were offered versus what I am paying. Starting to think I should have looked at the Mercury Gray its sexy. In addition to learning how to drive a manual on another car like these guys are saying you should really learn the way a trans works etc so you have a better understanding of what you are operating and what influence your foot is having on components inside the trans with the way in which you are driving it etc. There's a lot of people who can drive a manual but that have never changed a clutch or been inside a transmission and there's a lot of valuable info to be had in doing those things.

He offered 32,xxx without tax or other fees and 0.0% APR for 36months. I mean I have driving manual cars before in my life time just haven't "owned" one.

So be honest that you might be a little rusty and ask to drive a used one first. Do it!

From what he told me and what I read, base. All the dealers I talked to on the phone were a bunch of dicks and were asking too much...one guy flat out told me why the hell was I asking so much questions....

No offense OP but it seems like you are tire kicking a little.

Indrid Cold · 01-02-2013, 02:48 AM

Do It man...you will be fine...just drive a lot and you will keep getting better. My opinion on the clutch is that it is good for stock power level...stock clutch goes cause people mod the shit out of it and raise the power, burn up the clutch.

Indeed. did you start off the conversation professing your lack of knowledge in operating a manual transmission?
