I am not sure why or what came over me, but I traded in my beloved '04 TSX.
I am also quite ashamed to say what I traded it in on, I knew it was a mistake the second I drove the new car off.

How many months should I wait before I try to buy another TSX (trade in the new car).

Thanks...

O boy,what did you trade it in for?

Sorry that your not happy with your descision....

That calls for a huge



What domestic did you get? Pontiac?

errodr

Well, I bought a new house and I was doing some remodeling and I got sick of trying to haul stuff in the TSX. I bought a '04 Ford F150. Nice truck, but it was a bad decision.

Thanks...

I'm confused. Did you test drive the new car before you sealed the deal?

errodr

Yeah, such stupidity ought to get me banned...

Impulse buying has always been a problem for me.

stuckthrotle

well dont leave us in suspense what is it

errodr

Yeah, I did test drive and I got caught up in the whole "new car".
What can I say, I made a bad decision that will take a while to recover from.

Whiskers

Constantly trading in cars will result big cash loss. But, to answer your question...If you want to get the TSX, you should trade in the F150 ASAP.

stuckthrotle

really what model?

Eeyore

Hey look at it this way dude, finish remodeling your house, and then drive that F-150 to your nearest Acura dealer. Only, go for an RL this time.

errodr

It was the F150 FX4 SuperCab 5.4L V8...

stuckthrotle

ill trade ya strait up

errodr

Hahahahaha...

I wish...

if he's in states, it will void both of your warantees

stuckthrotle

He would be out about $15000 too.

RMATIC09

Hmm, give it some time i suppose, and this time make sure you really want the TSX.

Whiskers

Looks like the KBB value is around 20K on a trade in. What did you pay?

errodr

I paid 21 for the truck, got an incredible deal on the 04.

The truck stickered for about 29, so I got about 8K off with all incentives applied.

Whiskers

So maybe you can get 20K for it and not loose too much on the truck.

My thoughts, finish working on your house, then trade the truck in for the new TSX. The TSX can't haul much so get the most utility out of the truck. In the end, you'll lose money, but you'll have gotten the use out of the truck.

stuckthrotle

wow thats cheap.those things cost allmost 50k here.

errodr

Yeah, I think I'll just have to wait for a while.

Whiskers

Yeah, but he may get close to what he paid on the truck in a trade in. Use it and the fact that it's a Ford could mean 1/2 the trade in value.

ppavis

It's a nice truck. So did you get cash back on the deal or use the difference for tax, etc????

errodr

I got a very small amount back, not even 100 dollars.

i hope you car was non-nav..

hope you can get tsx back soon!

hahahah I cant believe people like you exist! WOW!

Impulse a car and trade it???


I dont think you should try to buy the TSX again...because if you traded it that fast then you wont be TRUELY HAPPY with it. Go for something that makes you happy...and stick with it for 10 or so years.

Chaulk this up to a life lesson I guess....whatever don't kill ya....

Admittance is the first step for your road to recovery...

Did you forget the TSX has fold down rear seats?

Whiskers

You would have to fold down the fronts to get the same hauling space as the F150. Makes it a little tough to drive it though....

the f-150 won motor trends truck of the year award, or something along those lines. it cant be all that bad, unless you just prefer the characteristics of a sedan over a truck.

fast-tl

Excellent point that's been posted twice. While you're not very upside get, go back....but get the TL!

dom

And they sold 912,000 units in 2004.

Still can't figure how you go from a TSX to an F-150 though.

He's already made one HUGE mistake, I think he's learned his lesson

TinkySD

I like the looks of the previous gen f150 a lot better than the current. In fact, I test drove and almost bought a ford lightning... the power was great. But i'm very glad the speed bug didn't get me and I went with the "slow" tsx!

slo007

Wow! Talk about a mistake... I have a family friend who did the same thing, went from a sedan (don't recall the model) to an F-150. After 1+ yrs driving the truck around, he bought a Ford Thunderbird. Says he likes it, but I found it awful as well.

Impulse buying on a car should be considered a disease. It's so expensive!!

What the hell is with that avatar?
