OTOH, my aunt was sold a demo Oldsmobile that was presented as a one-owner trade that required a new transmission after a few thousand miles, among it's multiple problems. When she found that out, a few threatening letters to the dealer netted a favorable trade value towards a new Pontiac Bonneville.

Nice Guages man  As far as demo cars, my friend just picked up a loaded 2004 Cavalier LS demo car for 4,000 less than it's value (partly cause his cousin is sales manager and the only reason he didn't get anything more powerful was cause it was his first car) and it included the full warranty! The only options this thing doesn't have is the power moonroof and the chrome wheels (it has aluminum instead). Very nice car. I would be jealous, but it has a bowtie on it

38 miles 1 way in traffic, 5 days a week. If not for that, I would have opted for the manual.
That sounded like an excuse!

And your left leg has more important things to do in that traffic?  Oh well, congrats anyway!

Congrats on the new car, I probably would have grabbed a golf or jetta wagon myself but with the warranty you should be set

I have terrible dark vision and I have no problem reading the guages in my dads '03 Jetta.
