It's here! Truck - train - truck - barge - truck - dealer! Pickin' it up Sunday afternoon! We still have 3 feet of snow on the ground and a month of winter to go, so there may be some days I'll choose to drive my Dodge diesel instead of the Sonic. Winter rims/tires will have to wait until fall...

It took a while, but our new Sonic is now parked in our garage behind my wife's Outback and beside my Dodge 3500 with 8 foot Western Plow! Thanks for all your help Laborsmith!

On Saturday we went to the dealership to order our wife's 1LZ hatch in white with a sunroof. She went with the lighter color interior since it has teal stitching in the seats (should tie in nicely with the pink vinyl she wants over the gold in the Chevy emblems). We should have it in 6-8 weeks.

Now I need to work on selling my 89 Jetta.

Pretty interesting how the Sonic is appealing to the A1 and A2 Chassis VW crowd...I am just about to pop the hood on my 90 GLI to sort out its ignition miss so I can sell it too.

@coprimo - gratz!!!! You the first Sonic owner in AK you think?

Not looking forward to selling it but it is either that or our MKV Rabbit. MKV Rabbit is probably going to go in another year anyways. Getting my 15 month old kid in/out of a two door is a pain in the ass.

I'd be tempted to tell you ditch the MkV over the Mk2, but...it is safer.

Found the issue on my Jetta...67k original miles on the original ignition cap and rotor..I have NEVER seen a rotor that cooked before...I am amazed it ran.

Wow...impressive!

I've spent the last year chasing down Digi2 quirks on my 8v. I bought it for $500 and had it towed to my house since it didn't run. Right now it still has a couple things wrong with it but it runs very well and stronger than I expected considering how underpowered I figured the car would be. It really has been a great car and I thought about keeping it around for a long term project car, but I don't want to occupy all my garage space with cars right now.

I'm not the first Sonic owner in AK - I saw a post on the Forum from another one a while back, and the three dealers in South Central AK have some in stock that are moving. With warmer weather, melting snow and higher fuel prices, I'm sure sales will pick up. 83 Gas is around 4.10 here.

Called the dealership today, they said last they heard my car was in holding in Oklahoma City! Only an hour and a half away! Should be any day now.:banana:

My car hit 4B00!

I have a question though about the window sticker though. Under mechanical it lists the engine as 1.8, but under the MSRP it says 1.4. Which is it? i ordered the 1.4. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Picante: It takes about two days from off load from the autocar to being dispatched. The car hauler will only leave with a full load, even if it is one vehicle for several different dealers. Should be very soon.

Cash: Your dealer can actually check the rpo list, but I am wondering if the window sticker you called up is actually for your car. If you have a "B" in the eighth place of your VIN, you have a 1.4T, if an "H" you have a 1.8.
