it wasnt really a waste of money, i paid 20,600 for it. i lost 1.6k after 5k miles and 5 months of ownership. payments arent too bad, but i cant juggle a good job and school at the same time.....

, i would think they are one of the best for the least amount of depreciation, i'd say buying a new domestic is a huge waste of money, especially companies like caddilac, their cars lose half their value sometimes in two years

and the crazy thing about it...is that I'm actually letting them do that.

so when you buy a 2 year old honda or a new honda...the price gap can be significant yet the cars are both brand new pretty much. for example
in canada you can buy the new Civic SI for 27k + tax new
or 21-22 used with 50,000 km. whats 50000km for a honda? nothing.
for a GM thats 1/4 of its lifetime.

Haha, My passenger window reg is stuck up. (thank god its stuck all the way up) Gotta get a new one when I get my next paycheck. I'm not really in a hurry to install it cuz I don't lower the passenger window at this time of the year anyway. It will be my second passenger reg.

btw, my mom hit one of those construction barrels on one of the trips to El Paso in the new Odyssey and broke the fog light bracket. Honda wanted $500+ for the part and labor.. The part was $180 on hondaautomotiveparts.com! I suggested that they get the part and I'll install it for them as a Christmas present to them, but they don't trust me.. I've taken off my bumper numerous amount of times and am retrofitting a set of lights and they don't trust me installing a little fog light bracket? *sigh* their loss if they end up taking it in..

but yeah, i was looking at an 04 accord before my 08. it was $17k for a ex-l coupe and 20,000 miles on it. for $3k more i got my 08 lx-s with 6 miles on it and 3 more years of warranty.

i gotta see what the prices are at acura for a window reg up here, cuz i need one and the ones that'll ship to canada on ebay are pretty expensive, so i might aswell go with a brand new one right from acura anyways, and my brother gets a discount.
Also he should be picking up my blower motor and my block heater today, so i can get that new blower motor in hopefully today or tmrw and drop the car off at my mechanic for the block heater to be installed. So much stupid things i have to buy right now for the car, right around christmas, school tests, plus still no income for quite a while

warranty and the piece of mind that no one has really driven your car are worth the couple extra grand to me, i mean if i had that kind of money in the first place

Yeah, Like taking out the oem resonator box. The problem is, no matter how carefull I was with my clips, I broke 2 of them.. I would be in deep shit if I broke one of the new van's clips.. Then again, since everything is all new, the clips won't be all briddle like mine were.

haha, but seriously just take off the fender lining with a flat head. its real simple, i did it for my accord to get to the headlights, the fogs are right underneath.
just take it off and show your parents that its simple, and to let you do it.
