Thinking about getting a TSX

Okay... if I trade in my '02 CL-S with 47,700 miles. I would probably get $16-$17k for it. Right?? I still owe like $20,500 on it though. I could get a TSX 6spd w/Navi for like $28k. Do you all think its worth it. I just love the TSX in Carbon Gray w/body kit, silver star rims.

You're upsidedown on your current loan. I wouldn't even cosinder selling a car that I'm upsidedown on... You get into an even deeper hole...

My standing on negative equity is to put down at least what that # is on the new loan (don't finance negative equity). If he trades the car in he'll also get tax savings.

$3k negative really isn't that terrible.

True, but still $3K is $3K...

I could afford to take a $3k hit. I bet I could get a better deal if I waited till the spring too. Maybe get them down in the $26k range.

Anything is slow compared to your monster allmotor. I would be getting the 6 speed if I got one. Maybe a lil quicker. The mods are cheaper too than for the CL-S.

A 6 speed CL-S or even a new Accord EX - V6 would be a better choice.

I'd wait a bit until they're ready to flex on the price of the TSX and maybe your losses won't be so bad.
