I don't think the issue was with quality so much as quality of service.

Thanks for the welcome!

and maybe get some good rebate

because there's not so much difference between an 07-08

My advice is to get the running boards. It avoids the stone chip issue.
The 2.2L is peppy with the automatic trans. (My opinion)
Don't forget any used models, They qualify for Optimum Warranty and are good values,too.

Good Luck,

Thanks Clare! I'm going to the nearest dealer to my house this weekend and will have them check around for me for a cheap 07 or 08, although I will admit I want black and black interior so I am at least going to have to be picky about that!! I was thinking about someday getting the lake pipes as I think they are called so I don't know if running boards would be good, however if I find one within my price range and it's all they can find and it was running boards, I'll go with that, haha! Thanks for the advice!!

Thanks for the info and link. After reading ALL of that I think I'll pass. Living in PA and being too lazy to following up with credit card issues and all of that jazz I don't think I could handle problems with my order!! Ol'well, I've looked around and have other ideas, I just need to get the darn vehicle!!! :) :)

Going to the nearest dealer to me tomorrow in a last ditch effort to see if they will work something out for me or find an 07 I can afford. Wish me luck, haha. Otherwise I'll be a member who loves the look but doesn't have one for a year or so!! Gah!!!
