Hey gang! Long time no talk...sorry I've been away from the board so long. But, I'm back now!!

I'm still out in California for a few more weeks and will be moving to warm and sunny (ok I wish it was warm and sunny) Minot, ND. Fun, huh?

I just bought a 2000 CSVT and picked it up from the dealership last night! What a sweet drive home. I traded in the '98 SE I had. I was a great car and I'll miss...for about a day.

How's everybody doin'? Fill me in!!

Stephanie

It was a lease return, so it's totally stock. I'm not going to play with it much...I'm totally broke now. I paid $16K for it with 40K miles. It's super clean. No marks or scratches in the leather and only one minor dent in the drivers door that can hopefully be fixed easily. It's been fun driving this weekend...I'm a little rusty on the manual trans since it's been about a year and a half since I've driven one. It's all comin' back though.

One other question...just how do they handle in the snow and ice? Should I look into getting a spare set of winter tires? It's got brand new tires and brakes now, so it should be interesting. Let me know!

Congrats on the purchase. Hmmm, I know car prices are higher in California, but I think you paid too much for it. In any case, enjoy it for as long as you can!

I checked the retail blue book on it and it was just over 16K. What do you think would have been a more fair price? Not that I can really change it now...It's still worth the extra bucks.

SVT's are going at or below private party value even at the dealers for the most part. Heck I bought a 2000 (the one I totalled) that was 3 months old for 16K with the same amount of miles on the clock. In any case, have fun with it!
