Can't spend that much... I was not trying to go above $7k but for this car or another good deal I can push it a little.

local dealer had stock of this car for $7500 new

That's a good *** deal, send one my way.

That's a good price for the miles. If you get the same car as a manual then you'll get little more gas mileage too.

I really wanted a stick, but I will live with an AT if I have to.

How long has she had it, and has she had any problems with it??? Yeah, the mileage is what I love about it.... reallllllly low for the year.
And on the manliness note, I would definitely not buy it in white... silver is bad enough lol.

pretty sure it was bought nearly new (like >5kM) and she's never had any mechanical problems with it. it has close to 80kM on it now and the majority of those miles were stop and go city traffic...

she just got rear ended actually and there was over six or seven thousand dollars in damages and they fixed it even though the car was probably only worth that much or less...

yeah, white is pretty feminine but i put a system in it so it makes it a little better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

LOL that was the first thing that popped in my head... "if only I can get a couple 15's in the trunk it won't be nearly as bad".

Sounds like a pretty decent car in terms of being economical, i'm beginning to lean more towards buying it.

I almost got a civic. It was a 200 Civic Si though but I decided to save my money up and get a Subaru WRX now and sell my El Camino as well.

 

[bk12321 10+ year member]

Just priced it on KBB, private party, $9,110 in good condition.

Decisions, decisions.

Man I really would love a WRX or a Lancer, but I don't think my wallet can afford one of those right now.

How do you like your choice, though??? Do you wish you would have gone with the Civic??

Are you keeping your benz? If you are getting rid of the benz and that is going to be your main transportation I would switch the questions around to 'Would you want to be stuck in this car for the next few years'

I went from an Audi to a Scion XB and thought it was great having a nice new car for about 14k but after a year or so it got old and I missed the luxury of a nice ride. It gets 30+ mpg and costs almost nothing to maintain but its just meh kinda boring, slow and just not as fun in addition if I am getting a econobox I would never get a auto again the stick really helps out (as much as it can) with getting the car up to speed.

No I don't think so... I love it and all but it's just too many problems. It has cost a lot in repairs over these last 10k miles or so. Not only that, but it has a dying transmission. Also, it only gets about 20/26 MPG, which is almost about half of what that civic would get.

It looks great and I feel awesome driving it around (its a nice ride for a 20 year old to have), but it's just too many problems right now.

And to maintain 2 cars at 20 years old would be just too much, so it would have to be one or the other. I think if I can get a system in there I will be happy despite it being a snail at accelerating.

I also hate driving automatics, but I don't think I will be able to find a stick at this price for this nice of a car.

Sorry, I must have worded it wrong. I will be getting a WRX in about a month or so. I've been waiting for a good deal to come up but the reason I decided to get a WRX over a civic is for the AWD because I go up to the mountains snowboarding and it already comes with turbo that I can upgrade.

I've drove a civic LX like that though and you'll like it a lot for what you want it to do.

I still have these 2 10's laying around so I will probably actually use those, unless I invest in something else. Does she have room to spare with the 15, or is it a snug fit???
