Well Mike the upgrade to a MTX is worth it alone. As far as the low miles on your car, didn't you say it sat for a long while? If so, thats good for the amount of miles it DOESN'T have, but it does have a new engine in it though. I guess it comes down to a couple things like are you happy with your car, how bad do you want that MTX, how does the car perform on the test drive, does it have any maintence records on it, the cost of the extended warrenty and whos doing the work when/if it needs it? Alot of questions for sure, but its a big move, no doubt about it. BTW, what color is the car and wheres it at?

Test drove the car this afternoon, and it was decent....some few things to make note of:
Engaging the clutch didn't require much pedal movement at all. Is that how everyone's is or is there something I should watch out for.
I had an Oasis ran on it and it hasnt been in for anything major
I would get a full bumper to bumper warranty for 3/36k, if I did purchase it
The interior of the car was OK, the leather didnt look like it was taken care of all that well, other than that normal wear and tear.
One of the caps from the side skirts was missing, but was assured that it would be replaced with another.
............so as of now I m just sitting on it, I might go test drive it again, but other than that just contenplating.
Oh yeah it's Black with Midnight Blue interior.

Is that from the time you buy it , meaning its added to the car with what it has right now? If thats the case, I say go for it if its within your price range

Well most of us, except Chris, have had pretty good luck there. I wonder if the black CSVT is a local CEG-ers
