Message	have gotten it cheaper or an even better deal by waiting a week. For example: buying a new flat screen tv. You want it because its cool, nice and more convenient in whatever room you put it in. You can hang it, or put it in an entertainment center. You want the one that won't be outdated in months (i don't feel the z will ever truely be outdated, they just don't make cars like they used to). Price tag: $xxxx buy the thing, only to find out the same tv was on sale the next week, or maybe a promotion for a newer/better tv for cheaper came out the following week. While you can return a tv in that period of time, you can't return a car. That feeling sucks for some people. I know it happens to me. And I do it over cheap shit like an external hard drive. I bought one on sale for 180 (750gB). Its on sale this week for 130! I honestly needed it though, my other one crashed the day after I bought the new one (phew). My reason: money is tight when you are in college. I'm one cheap bastard. That is why I'm riding out this car as long as I can (183k and counting :)) I will look for my ideal dream TT when I graduate and can afford it. The cheap bastard part of me will probably never leave though. "Soap and a shop broom? Oh man, that's rough. Been there." ~Kenny "Eww.
