That's right down the road from me, I could check it out if you want--though I doubt you want to ship it to TX

[edit] if you check out bridgewateracura.com, they have the correct pictures there

I like this part:

Options Installed
Power Door Locks; Power Windows; Radial Tires; Gauge Cluster; Clock; Trip Odometer; Tachometer; Air Conditioning; Tilt Steering Wheel; Interval Wipers; Rear Defroster; Remote Trunk Lid; Console; Carpeting; Dual Sport Mirrors; Front Bucket Seats; Reclining Seats; Cloth Upholstery; Center Arm Rest; Map Lights; Rear Spoiler; Premium Wheels; Passenger Side Air Bag;


I'm sure glad they installed the optional guage cluster and carpet

The sad part is that there is someone who would actually believe the black GSR is in a fact an ITR and pay that amount.

It amazes me how stupid some of these salespeople can be. Like 95% of any car salesman ive talked to have literally no clue about the cars they sell. You would think if your freaking JOB is to sell cars, you would know the specs/info on them pretty well eh?

Actually they are not stupid because 95% of the people who buys cars have no clue also.

Quick story: I used to be in the retail side of bicycles. I used to know a lot about bicycles. You know what was the deciding factor in most of my sales... color and the softness of the seat !!! Noone really cared about the gear ratios, tubing material, etc. Only the hardcore racer cared and with the hardcore racer he knew everything already and already decided what type of bicycle he wanted.

So for you who already know a lot about a car. What can a car salesman tell you that you haven't already researched on the Internet, magazines or through friends? His job is there just to sell you the car. Car salesman just have to know how to sell and not totally about the cars themselves. It is nice to meet a salesman who loves cars and knows about them, but is it necessary? No.

It would help us if you could use a more descriptive title when starting a topic, so that we know what it's about before we actually open it.

Not flaming, just providing a constructive suggestion...

I agree somewhat, but a lot of these salesman barely even know what kinda engine specs like hp/tq are in their cars. I'm just saying, I personally feel to be a decently good salesperson, you at least need to know your product more than the pretty color and interior options it comes with.
