well, son of a biscuit, now i found another one i like, this one in a dark red (dont know what it is called here, back home we called it bordeaux)
it has all the same features, almost 4K miles more, but $1400 cheaper, plus i can pick it up, trade in the superdookie and drive it home
it also has a tonneau cover, which i intended to install before taking it on spring break, so that is another couple of bucks saved
i think i will go with that one instead
