You're 17? Get a used Integra for about 7k. Save the rest for a downpayment on a house or something that doesn't depreciate in value. J/k...go get the 09...the 08 is already the old model.

Well I'm not planing on a used car, I'll be living off somewhere in college away from home so ye. I wouldn't get the 09 if the price difference is over 3k...lil bit under 3k...mm maybe but all thats new is the exterior.

Still think 27.7K + tax, etc is worth it? Base Model

My opinion: ABSOLUTELY! Providing that you can afford any car that costs $27,700. One of the best values, and best deals, on the planet.

I prefer the '08 exterior, interior, size, weight, handling, HP, and trunk space.

A very significant improvement will be realized when you replace the OEM tires with a set that has better grip, less road noise, and a better ride. I went with Yoko's A4Vs.

That's not a bad deal, but I'd try my hardest for invoice and below since it's an old model.

FYI ~$26,700 is invoice (with the destination fee included)

Well at first i got 26,500 (including Destination (725))....plus tax its like 28.2K i think?
So i said, alright EVERYONE Plus destination and TAX n etc.....down to 27,700 right now. Hes also throwing in wheel locks and splash guards .
its prob gonna be hard to go under 27K.
Thx people.

Any one got suggestions about the price of 09 or 08?

Sorry about that, I just double checked your post... that's not a bad deal at all! It wouldn't hurt to try and get it down to $27k... but it may not happen... and you may get lower.

Does anyone have access to current dealer incentives and whatever else??


As for the '09, it's going to be from invoice to MSRP and TTL on top of that. :|

Kind of a random question, but you are dealing with the fleet manager.. right? They seem to be able to give the best deals in my experience..

Just throwing this out there, don't get splash guards As for the 08 or 09, 08 all the way. I think the 06-08 body style is great stock. The 09 has potential I guess, but it really needs bigger wheels and a new grill. With the 08s, just lowering it will make it look great

My 06 6MT, bought new 11/17/06, has the original OEM tires. I have no complaints with them. My tsx has almost 51,000 miles and the tires still have alot of thread on them. I get them rotated and balanced every 6,000 miles and check the tire pressure on a regular basis.

you can definitely afford $27,700, but not $30,700 or something like that? i say you buy a used integra for $6k and save the money (that you apparently don't have).

but, if you're going to buy one or the other, the 08 gets my vote for driving experience and the touch screen nav!

Not surprising considering how hard the rubber compound is. Here in the mountains, I got about 30,000 miles on the MMX4's. It appears I am going to get about 25K out of the A4Vs. Since they are about half the cost of the original MMX4s, that equates to about 50K in cost; excluding M&B. And, the road noise, the ride, and the grip are significantly better.

When I traded for the new '08 model last month, one of my conditions was that the dealer put my half-worn A4Vs on the new car. So, someone probably got an '04 model with a new set of MMX4's on it. Checking the dealer's online inventory, it appears that my car was sold within two weeks.

I once put TRUCK rubber on a set of bias ply tires that I had recapped many years ago. If I recall correctly, the tires were good for over 80,000 miles at a time when most new tires were good for 20,000 miles (yep, the 40K mile warranty has not always been around). But, the tires were dangerous; especially in rain, because of the poor grip.
