Finally

[Kelrog]

Took almost a month to get my Stinger from S. Yarmouth, MA to RDU, NC *long story*

It was finally delivered on Tuesday. Got a great deal even with the shipping.



2019 GT2 Micro Blue AWD

Got some Tuxmats for her for day one. Love those btw.

Really have enjoyed this so far. Coming from a 2012 Crystal White Pearl Mazdaspeed3 Tech.

Thanks. Ended up at the Stinger after my wife and I got into one while looking for a Telluride. She liked it and it had the room we were looking for. But I had my heart set on a used 16 p90d Tesla Model S. So we went to the local delivery center, and was able to sit in a brand new Model S. It was a Performance Dual Motor, Blue with black carbon fiber interior, maxed out. I was drooling. Looked at my wife and she asked how much it was, and lost her mind. The fit and build was so bad to her compared to the Stinger we had just looked at. Heart broken, I dove down and did my research and really started to fall for the Stinger. It's not 2.3sec to 0-60 but damn if this thing is a great GT car. It has enough tech to keep me happy, and it's pretty sexy. This is our first KIA so hope it all goes well well enough to get the wife's Telly SXP she's been eyeing.

How much more was the Tesla. Love the Telluride but not available in RHD markets.

Love my Speed. It was very good to me. But with 2 girls getting bigger. (5 and 9) I couldn't get the youngest behind me. My seat has to be all the way back and I'm only 6.1

Oh and the wife didn't like driving stick, but that was a bonus.

Now with the Stinger I'll have to fight her for the keys.

How much more was the Tesla.

That particular New Tesla was about 110k

I've found used CPO P90D's 15'-16' prefacelift for as low as 46k, later 16's are more around 53k but have the new frontend.

Considering the lease buyout getting the GT2 for 38k is much easier on my wallet for possible upgrades.

Plus you can also get the Telluride as well for less than you would of spent on the Tesla. Bonus.
