  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Any Differences Between 2012 and 2013 R-Spec Sedan?

I've had no severe problems besides oil consumption and getting the short block replaced. running great now. It was a long process in getting the replacement short block and doing oil consumption test. GET THE 2013!!!!! Plus the 2013 has bluelink i believe. and maybe tweaks to the stereo.
 
Is there anything in particular that I should look out for during the test drive/inspection?

Take along a music DVD and a Thumb drive with your favorite tunes. Try each, and crank it enough to detect any speaker issues. Make sure the nav is working. Anything to do with the head unit is expensive. Also, check that the front and rear parking assist sensors are working properly. If it starts "dinging" false alarms when you are not that close to something, it could be sensors going bad.
 
Everything checked out really well on the car and I would up buying it yesterday for $28.5K, 22,000 miles on the clock. I already went and had some magnaflow mufflers installed this morning =]. They are not too loud, but at least you can tell there's a V8 under the hood now. 20" Wheels are already on order too.
 
Nice work! I'm still kicking around what I want out of the exhaust, and I've had the car since June :p

My previous car was an Evo iX with 3" straight pipes from the turbo all the way back so I was not concerned with any "drone". Anything after the Evo is considered quiet to me, heh. I like to hear the engine in my cars.

Having run 4" with a WG dump on my DSM, I feel you...but this car needs to stay somewhat refined for me. I like the 90mph near-silent cruise, and have been looking at VTs for that reason.
