New Aura for the n3rd! Now with real pictures.

*EDIT* PICS PAGE 2 *EDIT*

Just started the paperwork this morning. Keeping it low key and happy.

Carbon Flash exterior ($95 extra), Grey cloth interior.

2.4 4-Cyl DOHC 4-speed auto.

w00t!

It was built 1/10/08 and should be here next week. Trading in the Cobalt Coupe with the 5 speed. I'm going to miss that car.

Re: New Aura for the n3rd!

Holy Crap! With Auto Show bonus and Loyalty I've lowered my payment on the Cobalt from $293 a month to $278.

Re: New Aura for the n3rd!

I never never never realized that .n3rd part of your name was simply "nerd." I guess in my head I just said each letter/number individually....

Photos when it gets here!

Thats awseme. Always nice to get a new car and end up paying less. Hope the new car treats you well.

Also how do you get the Auto show bonus?

Re: New Aura for the n3rd!

Congrats on the new addition to the family. Hey I hate to hijack your thread but hows the Aura 4 cylinders selling? Are you getting a steady stream of customers through the door for them over the V6 models?

Re: New Aura for the n3rd!

Its here!!!

I have to put the stock radio back in my Cobalt this weekend and I will be signing Monday.

I'm bringing a proper camera tomorrow to get some pics of it. Still has the plastic on the exterior and the seats and the Odometer says 1. Its also dirty until I have it prepped Monday. So the pics you see tomorrow won't be in its full glory.

Thanks for the congrats. It feels nice to buy a new car and be able to talk about with you guys. My other half could care less.

Everytime we get 4 cylinders in they sell. For example, we got three in today (including mine) and we have 1 left. We have 5 more coming tomorrow and 2 of them are spoken for. The V6 will sit for about 15 days.

Its hard to judge sales right now. It is January and sales are generally low this time of year.

Re: New Aura for the n3rd!

I picked it up because I'm a geek and play World of Warcraft .

Very nice choice. I adore the Aura. It is a great looking car that doesn't get nearly enough love.
