??? 15k is too much for a car that is gonna last you over 200k miles if you treat it right?? What should he get a kia? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif.

he said the quality was good for the price...

anways... im on my second accord and they are great cars... i think

honda is one of the most well rounded car companies... my accord

gives me the luxury i like to be a little snobby and the sportiness i

need to maintain my cool image... : )

anyways... that is the new civic SI i posted... if you think it looks hot

from that angle... check out the ass... it has a single tailpipe right in

the middle of the rear... like a porshe boxster...

civic SIs are around 19,000 and thats pretty much with

enough extras... you dont get a civic SI EX, or DX or LX... you just

get a civic SI for 19,000...

and if my 2004 was worth enough to get the payoff for selling it or

trading it... i would probably get the SI... but right now i would

take a bath trying to change cars...

i would go TOYOTA, NISSAN, HONDA, then go american cause motor wize foreign cars are the best but parts when they poo are expenisive so BABY the **** out of it

I know how to baby my car, got 250K on this one...and your reason is why I am leaning towards the civic and corolla despite the power lacking of the two. Trying to stay under 15k here, but I don't need all the extras and such...I just need a good looking car that will last me a while.

I don't drive much either, I mean...15,000 miles a year tops so it only NEEDS to last me like 100,000 miles which is pretty much guaranteed out of any car now-a-days.

from the 05 models of the corolla and the civic, i would have to say that the corolla type s, or xrs looks the best outta of all of them. add a little stock spoiler to it and you would have the best looking car of all of your choices. the other models of the corolla dont exactly have the sporty look to it if you look and compare closely the other models (comes with a stock ground effects kit).

all prices are negotiable. tell them where to stick their bogus restocking fees(other bogus fees too). if they don't want to deal just walk away. also very important: don't let them screw you with a crazy apr either. i got a few thousand off on a new jeep and then they told me 8.9% apr...at which point i told them to "shove it". they countered with 5.9% and i took it until monday morning when i got it re-financed for 1.9% at my bank.

the article voa nightmare linked to is a great read

 

[ndnbolla 10+ year member]

yea that article was good and pretty interesting. i actually read it like a week ago and was about to post it here but SOMEONE beat me to it.

 

[swimfreak26 10+ year member]

I talked to my dad, and he knows the guy that runs the honda and dodge lot in our neighboring city really well I guess. Said he can get me a civic, or any honda rather, for dealer cost and will finance me at 2.9%....so it looks like after the summer I will probably be going that route.

Will turn out to be about 13,500 + taxes, licenses, etc for a civic...not loaded or anything, but I really don't need all the fancy stuff for a school car.

Deffinately, rated 39 combined mileage...I can deal with that

**** 39, thats crazy. My volvo is 27. I hate it but i love my car. The 2005 Accords are very nice, gonna wait for hte Civic SI's, new Chevy Cobalt, and most importantly, the 2006 SCION TC!!!!!!

 

[ighettoboyi 10+ year member]

if you're poor get a slightly used car, much better investment...

scion tc's are so weak, they hype up those things so much yet theyre ugly and slow

get the 02 max like someone suggested, even automatic it would DUST any of your other options....and it's 100000000x sexier //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif of course you're gonna get SUV milage....i dont even get 20mpg, but hey, the vq35de is worth it. If you want better milage even an 01 Max 5-spd anniversary edition would be sick. it's only a 3.0L but vq motors are the shiznat
