I wouldn't touch a car like that, whether or not the perceptions are accurate. It willend up being sold to the next guy who can barely afford it. There are some great deals out there right now, scrimp on your Starbucks bill or the amount you pay each month to send text messages and make the higher payment.
You are welcome.

I find that fairly frequently, the stripped down, practical models go to those who CAN afford it, and simply don't see the benefit of wasting money on factory add-ons. If I so choose, I can throw on sport package rims for $900, sell my base rims for $600, and swap to an LSD for another $400. The brakes can be bought new for like $1300, less used. Even the base brakes are worth something to someone with a 240, etc.
Also, I'd just offer up the thought that a non-sports package car probably get's driven less hard on average...
