i'll consider one, but i HATE the subie lot in fresno..god those guys are complete assholes and the service department blows. i had to take my brothers car in for him..last time i do that

 

You should stick with the Si, you can purchase one for quite a good price.

$12K 40Kmiles.


Also the cost of insurance on my '09 Civic Si coupe (Red) was actually quite inexpensive) It's a lease it costs about $850 per 6mos. with progressive (However this is with a multicar discount). I'd say you can get insured for $900 for 6 mos. on a older model civic, with no multi car discount.

 

How about something newer, smaller, low miles, good reputation, one owner again? Maeby 07 Civic EX or 06-07 Accord 4 cyl-5 SPD?

 

hey mike

if i get a civic, i would like an EX or SI coupe

if i get an Accord, i would shoot for the V6




new top three

06+ TSX Navi

06+ Civic Si/EX coupe

Newer AV6

07+ (big maybe) Camry SE V6

i want to find something 13-18k OTD, that will keep my payments close to what i have now

i found an 07 Civic Si for 14k at a Mazda lot, but its 2.5 hours from me. theres really nothing local that i like at the moment

 

Have you thought about talking to Clint @ Acura? He may be willing to find you something at the auction.

OR

ill give clint a call, i have one of my guys at Honda North looking for an Si.

thanks for the link, i have to admit, i kinda like those Fit Sports, but thats a major downgrade in power

 

Something about the Fit draws me in too. I don't think they are much fun but they are cheap and practical. Having me DelSol, I have no need for another small car.

BTW, my DelSol is a 1993, 135K, one owner. I think you have spend more on your Acura than I have spent on that car in 17 years.

I'm glad you don't work for me. LOL

 

ive read a couple motortrend articles saying that they are fun cars..i dunno, maybe i should go drive one.


where do u work if u dont mind me asking? i thought you were retired Mike

 

You should go drive one. You could probably get a new one, loaded with Nav and everything!

Retired? I wish, never gonna happen.
I work for myself, home office, Real Estate Appraiser.
I'm also a RE Broker.

 

Driving a little car w/ 7k+ redline is fun if not fast. 30+MPG + Reliable + Warranty FMFW IMHO. YMMV

 

OK last one tonight. Scratch the Nav, only comes w/auto I think.

This is with no discount...

thats cool, yea, im gunna price some out, maybe even an 09 cpo.


you do real estate? im gunna pm you tomorrow when im off work

 

so i found this 2009 Fit Sport


http://www.larryhopkinshonda.com/cer...6dab194500.htm
the invoice is 16.2k and 16.8 for cpo

he said the lowest he will go is 17.2 because it has "leather" I asked why pay extra for something that was previously added by the previous owner?

he hasn't replied yet

 

^Link no workie.

 

try the one i edited in

 

he just emailed me and took another whole 100 dollars off
omg i should totally jump all over this

 

The tsx has my vote. Love them cars.

 

Why fool with a used one for the same price as brand new?
New has really cheap finance rate if you qualify, 1.9% for 60 months. Check that link I send you.

You should be able to walk over to Selma Honda and buy one for $17,100 Max and I think you can do better.

 

yea, i saw on Honda.com that a non nav started at 16k. ill look into that, my buddy is a used car sales manager there, but im sure he can still help me

 

what kind of OTD price can i shoot for?

 

im lost in this thread

what's your budget again? what are you trying to get?

 

i just want a smaller, more affordable car. something good on gas. im keeping my options open. i want to spend no more than 18k otd

TSX
Civic Si
Fit Sport

ive decided to forget a truck/suv

 

i just want out of this money pit

 

I'm not going to lie, I really like the new Fit. I test drove one and I was really impressed.

 

im gunna go drive one tomorrow

 

I just checked inventory at all three dealers
No Sports available and very few manual transmissions.
Looks like sticker price and road trip or special order and wait.

 

im not picky about tranny.

where did you check?

Selma

Clawson

Honda North

 

All of them. Selma has the most. I think Honda North didn't show any. With that small engine you need to test drive both transmissions. Check the differences between base and sport also.

There are aftermarket Mugen pieces.

 

i saw that last night the body kit/rims look nice..but that took my total to 25k

i would most likely go for the sport, base isnt appealing to me, i need some flair..i am asian

 

dude

1st gen mazdaspeed3, if you can find one brand new.

 

Fit? lol i test drove it and it had no balls

 

im not worried about balls/features/and stuff. i can worry about that once im done with school and stuff.

ill get another nice car eventually

EDIT-never mind..didnt see the bottom link

good luck

 

call me or mike60619@yahoo.com

 

 

done

 

Just a little tip for lowered cars.
Put 2 (left side and right side) stacks of cardboard or whatever (be creative) and drive over them then jack the car up and put it on stands.

Out of those cars, I'd choose the SI or TSX.

 

im aware of driving up wood, but there usually nothing laying around to drive up onto.

as far as my choice in cars, im keeping my options open. i would like to sell my tl on my own first, but i may end up trading in
