cool,
Sandy and I should be there this Friday..
Hellloooooooo Mac.

I thought you would at least call back if you heard a lady's voice on the voicemail! How impolite...

We had a heck of a drive back last night.. Hwy 1 through piscadero rd, through 84 up to 280 around 9pm-10pm. Never driven there before, but the roads were quite smooth. Des and I mentioned you a couple times and that there hadn't been a canyon run in a while.

Hope all's been well and the house is nearly complete. Late.

Nice car! I was also looking around for a new DD and was very interested in getting a Si Sedan. I stopped by Steven's Creek Honda and all of them have a $2K "dealer mark-up" on it. I refuse to pay the mark up and simply just walked away...

Awesome car indeed, I will get one some day.

Ignore that markup.. it took 30 secs for them to remove that markup before negotiations even started.

I worked with a guy named Safi. He agreed it was unneccessary and had the manager remove it for us. I can't blame them I guess, if people want to pay the "premium sports car (that's literally what he said to me) markup," then why wouldn't the dealer accept it.

The new car is, ofcourse, going to Jake's for the "Treatment"

Thanks for the input. I just don't like the idea when dealer marked up the car which is already costing more than the regular Civic. To me, I don't mind paying the "premium" of the Si (MSRP) by paying more compare to the regular Civic because of the performance.

How much did you pay for the car OTD if you don't mind me asking? You can PM me if you don't want to post it online. I might be heading over soon to look at them.

Thanks

Eric
