So, I bought a new car.... I'm bored with the Ridgeline after 5+ years so time to do something else - something smaller to drive, reasonably fast, with 3 pedals and still had some utility - so really, the choices get narrowed down pretty quickly, I think the only cars under serious consideration were a WRX wagon and an Audi avant.... given my affliction for german cars, it was a no, brainer.
I casually looked at autotrader/ebay/etc for a few months not really expecting to buy anything but then a car came up for sale and I couldnt ignore it. Its an '06 avant, with s-line & titanium packages, no factory nav. It was a CPO car when the seller bought it, and he took really nice care of it.
It already has a few tasteful mods that I'd probably do anyways - APR ECU, Stasis exhaust & short shifter. The short shifter is really, really nice - I'm surprised. I need to order a hitch & bike rack this week, and will probably buy some Koni FSD shocks soon. I dont know that it needs much else (bring on the CEL jokes) until I get bored and buy a K04 kit.

What he said! :lol:
Congrats though bro that is a clean looking car for an 06! If you are going to punish yourself it may as well be on a car that looks to be well taken care of.

I approve, but only because I know nothing about it.
Look for used parts or last of the inventory... Stasis is out of business

The best thing about this car is walking out to it in the morning and being greeted by that german car leather smell upon opening the door. I should remember that, for those times that it doesnt start, at least it smells nice.
