Default Wsup CL, went from an SC to........

wsup everyone, it's been a while, had history in the SC forum, some of the OG SC guys may remember my car......

went from this:



to this:


06 alpine white w/ imola red nappa leather

plans for mods, but not anytime soon, monthly's are a killer and i'm scared of voiding warranty

just thought id share

thanks!, it's a hefty tag, it's cpo'd, with only 6k miles and many options, so i paid little under 57k

congrats!! smg or manual?? same route over here since march and let me tell you... problems are mostly covered, thats not a biggie, it's just the time the car spends at the dealer and they are ****** to you... at the end is worth it though... and you'll be surprised how many mods can be done w/o voiding warranty, so have fun!!

it's manual....i'm glad almost everything is covered.....and ya i've read about dealer stories and how heartless they can be.....well, i won't be modding it anytime soon cuz i still need to learn about the car.
