After 1 year I finally got my RL!

Bruce · 07-04-2007, 10:54 PM

Some differences over my late October (07) 2.4 were the front cup holder is better and the gas insert (black plastic thing) is also better.

First picture shows the cars together (my old 2.4 and RL). My dealership was so great they simply deducted 10 cents per mile on the 2.4 for my trade-in

Love the RL

That is great! Congrats and enjoy!

CdnSkyGuy · 07-04-2007, 11:30 PM

Nice...1 year is a long wait but at least you had the 2.4 to keep you sane!

jayman · 07-04-2007, 11:33 PM

Nice!....looks like you got a real color this time

jel · 07-04-2007, 11:53 PM

Congrats! If you see me at the Boeing site on 212th, wave.

Tonic · 07-05-2007, 12:03 AM

Congrulation! Wish your 2.4 will make somebody happy again too! I like them both! Is it a 2008?

GetAboutRL · 07-05-2007, 12:43 AM

Congratulations!

I noticed the RPi exhaust pipes ... if you just picked this car up ... did dealer install exhaust prior to you taking delivery?

DaleF · 07-05-2007, 01:20 AM

Sweet!!

Perfect color choice!

Bruce · 07-05-2007, 01:42 AM

I had the dealership do all the installs prior to me taking delivery.

This could be a problem because by modifying the car prior to delivery, Saturns exchange program (turn in if <1500 miles) is no longer an option.

I'm okay with this though...........car is solid!

MikeInSeattle · 07-05-2007, 10:59 AM

Congratulations Bruce! You are SO gonna love this car! Looking forward to the Rainier cruise next month.

Congrats on the *finally* getting the new ride, Bruce. You have far more patience than me- I'll be driving mine up from California later this year, as Lanny told me they are now two years out. The PNW dealers are either selling a lot of cars, or getting the short end of the stick on allocations.

Nice pic with Mt. Si, too!

Since you went from a Bluestone to my favorite Midnight Blue, let me know in a few weeks which color is harder to keep all shiny and looking like new?
I find my Midnight Blue a pain in the A$$ to keep the dust and dirt off, curious if the Bluestone really shows less dust since it sparkles.

CONGRATS !!!!!

Bruce · 07-05-2007, 07:15 PM

Thanks for all the congrats!

In two days I've found the Midnight Blue is so nice looking, but seriously shows the dust...........oh well, I like Perfect Auto Finish's stuff so I'll keep dusting. (Also just bought a California duster)

The Bluestone did not show as much dust but I truly prefer the midnight blue.

Life is good
