Had a chance to buy an Orphan today and turned it down

I want an all black Pure, or an all black passion with hardly any options with red interior.

They had a Red passion in MN today. If it would have had the red interior, I would have bought it cuz I could just change the panels to black.

But it had black interior, an alarm - which I don't car about, power steering - which is a waste for such a small car, and the premium sound upgrade - which I really don't care about either.

It was like $15,400 after the destination charge.

I would rather stay between 12k-14k.
Oh well.

I've got the red on red and I hate to mention this again but it's not red, it's orange, but what the heck it's a great color. I agree you don't need power steering or a premium sound system, but to pass up the orphan took guts.
