Injectors only get ya 5hp?? Screw Stage I!!?!?!

I suspect the ones that they used in the '04 to get the 5hp boost above the '03 are still NOT top of the line.

nono, Saki, Stage 1 makes all of them 235 bhp--assuming they will "let" you put Stage 1 into a turbo lite--since the only difference betwixt all of them is the PCM and injectors.

From what I've gathered here, ALL '04's, either a "GT" or a "Turbo Lite", have the bigger injectors in the stock configuration. So to go up to the Stage 1 level for "Both Cars", just add the Stage 1 PCM ONLY!!!!!!And you'd be at 235HP or so, for around $400.00

The Touring Model with the Turbo Lite is about $21,040.00
The Limited Model with the Turbo Lite is about $23,280.00
The '04 GT starts somewhere around $24,455.00 and goes UP from there.
The '03 GT that I'm getting is about $27-28,000.00, and that's with cloth unheated,not powered seats, and a $1800.00 Navigation SYS that I don't want. What to do?????Any help, many other dealers more pleasant, more honest, and not as threatening. Shouldn't we/you be comfortable spending over $25K, and the people recieving the $$$ be very NICE and NOT demanding, and make this car buying experience a fun and happy time, Not a nightmare. Maybe things need to change so the customer feels right about his/her purchase.......Stew

Dude

Come down to San Diego to McCune Motors and prepare to be surprised. That's where I buy all of my DCX cars from. They will treat you real good and give or get you what you want.

I'd love to change dealers, and wish I could change time back to when I first walked in to their showroom, they were VERY courteous, polite, and even offered me and my family drinks and snacks, now they seem like I just crashed my truck into their ????????These people are putting all of the reasons for the harassment on each other, and even went as far to threaten me to 'Sue me for the difference', of my down payment and what is still owed on the car, the car that is STILL on their lot! I'd really like to be confident and feel secure in my BIG purchase. Not scared and worried about what's gonna happen next. I even feel like their gonna take my deposit and tell me to take a flyin leap......What a Nightmare[:0][xx(][xx(][xx(]Can't figure out what to legally do?????????????I'm even loosing sleep over this mess, Any advise or direction on where to go, or what to say?? Thanx Stew

3bar, can you confirm whether my '04 180 HP Turbo came with the high flow injectors? By the way, the car's an automatic if it makes any difference.

knowyourturbo...

as you have expressed, it seems that you are in a situation that you cannot get out of. Have you signed papers? Did placing a downpayment require that certain documents be signed? Can you call the BBB or the attorney general?

[knowyourturbo]

Yes I have signed the regular documents to purchase this 03, and have copies of just about everything I signed, but I was NOT going to finance this purchase, just awaiting some $$ in the mail that was due to me, which would in turn pay off the vehicle and then I'd take delivery. But, the dealer insisted that I take delivery of the PT and 'just' send a check when I could. Well with the delay in my funds, the dealership kept calling me to inquire about the balance due, I informed them I'm not able at this point to pay the balance due, and they said,"Don't worry, we trust you, just come and pickup the PT and pay us when you can". Now, over a month later, they want to take me to collections because I've taken delivery and have not payed as promised. Uh, I don't have the PT, and have only driven it on the test drive, they said that I've driven it home and it might even be repoed.

I informed them, it's still on their lot, but they still think I 'have' taken delivery and will persue collections. What the *&%^$!!! We'll see what happens. .........Stew
