New (to me) HiChroma Red GT2 AWD CPO in Seattle area

[spletts]

Hey all, happy to say I've joined the gang with an 18 GT2 AWD in HiChroma Red in the Seattle area. Coming from a 13 focus ST, needless to say, I'm still smiling hours after I got in to work this morning....

9,7xx miles on a year lease return. It's seriously pristine.... all in, happy with the purchase and excited to stretch her legs out as the weather warms here.

Looking forward to a new forum... looks like there's a lot to read up on here.

I feel that indeed I did. I've been stalking cars.com and autotrader for at least 6 months watching prices on new...and more recently, CPO's as they've been rolling in. By the end of the negotiations, I had the best priced CPO GT2 with under 10k miles in the US. I'll take that... haha.

On the bright side? I can stop watching youtube review and impression videos on this beast now. I think I've seen every one out there at this point...and can firmly say that so far, I agree with the general consensus that this is a pretty damn great car for the price.

Thats awesome man. Lucky you to be in Seattle as well. Home of the only ECU Tuner in the US (well technically there is another but we dont ever hear from them) @Sales@Tork @TorkMe @Tonkabob HOOK THIS MAN UP!

These guys have custom exhaust, ECU tunes, every part you will need and they are installers.

Man, I absolutely loved my speed 6... when it ran...

I absolutely bought a gremlin car with that one... and in the long run and with plenty of hindsight, getting rid of it was the best move. But I still see 'em on the road occasionally, and, especially when in the Velocity Red Mica, I get a slight man-tear build up.

Moved to a Focus ST for the past 6 years, and left it bone ass stock. I realized last fall that I've been driving a car I don't enjoy for far too long, hence the search for the Stinger.

And, it's absolutely ego-boosting when you see people walking around this car.. taking pictures, scratching their heads. It's happened twice in two days that I've caught...

Anywho, planning a little cruise with a few friends this weekend and heading out towards the mountains. Should have some better pics available by the end of the weekend... ha!
