I sold my Aero back in December (eBeey) and the seller finally came around. I had a good feeling about him and I'm glad it worked out. He's a good guy, a life saab tech, and my land rocket is going to a great home. He's going to fix it up, paint bits, new spoiler, everything... car will replace his daughters 9-3. Bittersweet day, but I feel at peace inside. A very good outcome considering the alternatives.

since a lot of these posts also include a disclosure of what we "left for"... Well, I find people on Craigslist who want to get out of leases, often times these are folks who either purchased on impulse, need to get out and have otherwise put down significant money. I simply step in to take over payments, and I've gotten good deals this way and the ability to long-term test drive cars (lease 1 was 10 months, lease 2 is 18 months w/four months left) while having all service covered. I haven't opened my hood in eight months now! I had a G37 coupe (my very first coupe type vehicle) and am now driving a loaded Ford Escape. The Ford is surprising me in many ways. I may find myself in an XC60 in the future or whatever else blows my way..
One other thing, on the topic of SYNC, the Sync system in the Ford has been amazing. There is bad technology integration - like the useless screen in the G37 which would display the radio station and some outdated service intervals - and then there's Sync. Totally "ties in" the whole experience, fast, responsive, I know sync gets flak...unsure why.
