i was going in to a used car dealership to try and trade in my 3 month financed 6 speed 04 for an 06 (6 speed as well) wit nav i loved the drive and the price (11k) it was a lower mileage than my 120xxx (about 80k) and of course i loved the way it drove compared to mine and the leather was better quality, but too many things; in my eyes at least made it a definite no go. where should i begin hmm... the paint on the hood is peeling, the tire bracket for the spare tire is broken, the hood prop is broken as well, the passengers side panel arm rest was seperating from the door, heated seats didnt work and for some reason the back of the front seats were in the trunk, the nav didnt work, the leather around the clock is torn/peeled away showing the yellow foam underneath, the cloth on the pillar between the front and back passenger side was torn, the sunblock/vanity mirror was loose, there was space between the passenger side headlight (not too worried about that as my car was in a front end too), and theres a grind when redlining in second to third. my car has none of these problems. was i justifeid in violently rejecting the car in favor of my relatively mint 04? i feel i was -__- i swear u just cannot get a good deal on these (acura and anything else with an attractive badge) cars down here.

 

o yea and my 04 burns oil if it makes a difference lol

 

Sounds like someone abused that car. Run away from it. Besides the wear and tear on the seat bottoms, my 06 looks pretty much like new.

 

good lol, jus makin sure i had the same mind as anyone else. i mean 15 horses my car will never be able to attain (after modding both) is a nice plus, but piece of mind and less mandatory (in my eyes) repairs are better

 

Not for 11k$...
If the car was good but the cosmetics need some patching up might be a good 5k$ beater car, cause that sounds like what it was used for.
