Default Thinking Seriously About Bringing This One Home

Just got back from test driving this sweet beauty. This is the first sunflower yellow I've seen in a ragtop and it's pretty wonderful.

A ver clean 2008 with 40K - not sure of the price yet but my husband knows the general manager so we should get a good deal.

I may go back tomorrow and get it. But I wanted to see what you enablers have to say about it first.

Are you adding it, or replacing something with it? Either way, really, go get it!

I'd be trading in my 2007 Mazda 3 with 30K on it. I really like that car but ......... I don't love it.

The only issue I can see is that it's automatic. So go get it.

Nice looking car and I too think I haven't seen a Sunflower Yellow Vert. Obviously if you got this vert, you would "love" it. I can tell by just the way you are talking about it. I say go for it! You will definitely be smiling every time you see it.
