Don't you know the 6thgen autos have a extremely high transmission failure???? And you're still willing to spend the money? Get a salvaged or something, don't waste your money if your transmission is on a very high recall, unless your a mechanic and willing to swap it out if it dies later on.

I can't believe no one has even said anything yet....

i already have salvaged ones lined up for him for like 800-1k, just his dad is the problem....

I would try to show him the recall online, it's really going to suck if u buy an auto and it breaks later. Salvage would be the way to go since u wont be spending very much money. I know how dads are, they are like a rock.

i'm going to have him remove the wheels and subs. hes going to put the stock ones back on. after all the removing he quoted me 5300

what do you guys think?

Those salvage prices have me jealous as hell! If I were on the lookout for a new ride and those prices were in my area - we'd have a and a generous finders fee to go along! I agree with the other posters... Too bad the dad can't be convinced...
