New car decision

well i'm selling my hybrid civic soon and am in the market for a "new" car. i know someone who is selling a 3000gt vr4 for only 13k OBO it has 75k miles on it, originally i planned on getting a 03 accord ex v6 w/ navi. with this 3000gt dangling in my face i dont know what to do, go for the old car or get a new one. any suggestions guys?

It sux that the 3000gt has such a bad track record -w- repairs, but it does. I would probably be better as a second car.

So, what whas the MPG on that hybrid???

no more warrenty on the VR4
bad track record for repairs (VR4)
-vs-
Honda quality (however you interpret that)
new car smell
a good warrenty
better interior

its your call.......

mitsui engines have reliability problems. Just try to find a four cylinder caravan owner closing in on 150,000 miles. You won't. The engines fall apart at about 80,000 miles, if you have lots of luck. Buy/lease the accord.
