Going up today to pick up a 2012 V Coupe. Crystal red with ebony interior, every option except polished wheels. Auto transmission.
I am a sick individual. Started with 09 V sedan, crystal red with ebony. Put about 9000 miles on it, and traded it for 11 VCoupe, black with ebony/saffron. Trading that one with 11500 miles.
I never got over my preference for crystal red, so when I saw the dealer had one in stock when I took the 11 in for service, it was all over.
At least I got Rainsense wipers back, and picked up the blind spot alert.
Outstanding! Thank you for being such a loyal Vfan, khoeysr! Let us know how you like your new ride, and please feel free to contact me anytime via private message if you have vehicle questions.
That is commitment right there! Out of curiosity, did you get decent trade-in on your 11? and I didn't know rainsense went away? Is blind spot monitoring on the sedans?
Buy when incentives are peaking. To 'trade in' my V2 auto 3 years early that was leased for my ordered one cost me tax/title, and $30 more /month strictly speaking.
Absolutely I am getting nailed by depreciation. That's probably the sickest part. No doubt.
I won't be somebody who says "I got the greatest deal, I crushed them". But they gave the top trade using the same color book that I used, and they maxed out the deal by looking into every possible incentive to come up with the number I asked for. I always calculate the dealer invoice and MSRP, as well as the trade numbers, so I can create a range in which I want to work. You know, so my car and $XX. The dealer appreciates my repeat business plus they know I am a sick man who will just keep coming back.
I just never got over my true preference for the crystal red, plus I finally got beaten down with the effort in making a black car look good. It's the toughest thing.
So this car has everything but the polished wheels. My first two had them, and I will be trying to get used to the painted wheels. I know that I can always replace them. The other thing is the car had the yellow calipers. For me they are a no go on a red car, so they had to swap them with the silver calipers that came off my black one when I put yellows on it.
But the car is so fully optioned that I didn't mind that I didn't order it but bought off the lot.
After some time with the new car I have to sound off.
Our cars are terrific. This thing goes like a rocket and tracks like a slot car, just like my previous two did. It looks fantastic. I was a little worried about the suede steering wheel, but I had a false impression of how big and bulky it was. It seems the same size as the leather wrapped version, but it's a lot grippier. The blind spot alert is a great addition.
It's tight, fast, and sounds fantastic. Coming home with it on the thruway is a blast, flying by people and having some give you the thumbs up, or flash their lights.
And best of all, I am back in crystal red tintcoat once again.

Did you end up buying your car out here in Rochester? I saw that the dealer I bought my V in just listed a '11 V Coupe, same combo as yours, except w/ 12K miles. Small world if that was your car, because I already made an appointment to test drive the coupe V's on a possible trade in...even though I've owned the sedan for all of two months so far!
