I also love the chrome on white, which was one reason I went with the white. I ordered the spoiler from my dealer & had it custom painted & installed, personally I thought the back looked a little plain without it...another one of those personal opinion isssues. Now there are 2 spoilers available, the one I have & the one from the premier edition, which only complicates matters if I were getting one today!!!

AGAIN, NICE COLOR CHOICE!!!

Leasing and buying out at the end does cost more in the long run, but sometimes that's the only way to get it done, especially in a situation like you were in.

I did some calcs and should we continue driving at the rate we are now, we would have a mileage penalty of about $3600. No way I'm handing over close to 4 grand and then walking away. Then there are those mods I made to Spyro that I didn't get permission from GM/GMAC to do....
