Things I will be researching:
Fuel rail/injector swap

No major plans for the car for 2013, except that it will be fully paid off and 100% mine  Four payments left (one this Thursday, then only 3 ). The last one is on April 2, which marks 5 years of ownership. On a side note, I'm really hoping to get on the supply list with the school board for 2013. |

I wish I had had the extra money when I did the front door end repairs to swap the radiator at the same time. I would've had to do the transmission cooler as well though since I have an auto, so it would've cost way to much for me.

I'm undecided as well, thinking for sure springs. Might have a budget of about 500 with income taxes coming and all so 200 go to the springs. But not sure what I want to spend remaining funds on. Any ideas??? So far I have Cat-Back, CAI, UR upper front bar, HIDs, Wheels, Tiida HVAC knobs. Was thinking about a new head unit but that would take up most of the remaining funds and want to get the most out of it. Thanks

I wish I knew someone that already installed the radiator,,I need the trans cooler too,,just wondering how much a pain the install will bee and if everything will line up,and do I use my stock fans with it |

V's last payment May, so five to go! Will inquire with Nissan dealer about trade value then, but since it will be crap, I'll just take measures to improve it's longevity: One more Krown oil spray, and address stone chips on hood. Will be at 200000km shortly. Aiming for 300000km, any thing less will be utter failure. Replacing original spark plugs next week, hopefully  |

I officially only have 3 left as of today The trade in value will be crap, I already tried about a month ago to trade it in, and the car is worth nothing lol ... Best to keep driving it until it dies, |

Not much will happen, but maybe it will if I can find things for a good deal.
I'm leaning towards debaging front and back. Change the trim around the radio and vents (not sure on the color etc). And the lights. Going to install turn signals, can't wait to show what I did/will do. Smoke the tailights, and the front lights either paint the inside, or do the eyebrow/eyeliner in black. And fix my arm rest so it is sturdy.
That's about it for now. Maybe more, we'll see.

You might be surprised, I went around to a couple dealers last month and the general trade in offer was $8500, and my car had 98,000km on it at the time. I was pretty shocked it was still worth that much. As for my 2013... New job (soon), possibly relocating (now that I built myself a kick ass house, why would I stay in it?? D'OH!), and hopefully more travel! Work was too crazy to do much of anything else this year. Went to two VW dealerships. One offered me 6000 the other offered me 5000. |

You can't let dealers push you around like that. I know yours has less KM's than mine, is an SL, and automatic, which is more sought after. They would probably offer more without all the stickers and such you have on it, but still, $6000 is more than a little low. Stickers can be removed (& will be soon as I'm bored already) and they weren't on the pictures I sent them. I'd like a new car, but it's not necessary. I don't care enough to push them anymore ... plus I like the fact that I won't have any more car payments. |
