Sticker on the car was 37,3k and marked down to 24,2k (I just realized that is 1k more than my saturn, not less, my math was screwy) and financing was through a private bank, and I got 2.9% for 72 months with no penalty to repay early. They gave me 3500 for the Saturn too, which I think is fair.

Al- you are more than welcome to take the car for a spin whenever the next time I see you. I knew it was on the epsilon platform, but I wasn't sure if the 2.0 was the same motor as our old body style 9-3 vert. I'm quite certain that wasn't a gm motor. Either way, the car handles very very well.

It's probably a good idea to keep it stock, although I did order a roof rack for my bicycle already. The OEM one is cheap and I wanted to grab it before it became hard to find. I'd love a tune, but after driving it today and pushing it a bit, it is significantly quicker than I remember from the test drive and I don't feel as urgent about the tune. There are some "stage 1" tunes for a few hundred bucks. It seems like quite a few people on the forum have a tune without issue. We'll see.

Drove it quite a bit today and I absolutely love it. I'm driving up to work tomorrow, which is the town over from Chuck at SSP and then to Monticello, back to work, home, then going out tomorrow night. I'm going to have the car broken in by the end of the weekend!
