I like the RSX-S better.
I"m a civic fan but I'd have to go with the type s as well. 06 of course the body lines just look so sexy
Plus, brand new > used...'nuff said.
yeah but that doesn't seem to be his concern. Plus, if his intentions are to keep it for a long time, depreciation means next to jack shit.brand new FTL
new 2007 Civic Si, loaded = $23,635.00
same 2007 Civic Si with 1 mile on it = $19,700.00
total loss just for driving it off the lot = $3935.00
average 5 year loan with 6% interest = monthly payments of about $420.00
that means your first 9 payments are just to get yourself back from being upside down on the car... of course that doesnt take into account that the car will still be dropping in value from the mileage you are putting on it, the stupid little chips and nicks it picks up along the way, as well as simply getting older
so it is far more likely that you are not going to get away from being upside down on the car loan for a few years
meaning if anything was to happen to the car its not worth what you owe on it... sure there is gap insurance but thats a scam and a half and you will only end up getting ass raped with that... unless of course you PLAN on totaling the car
only way you sort of win is if you actually own the car for 5 or more years.... but theres not many people doing that any more... and even then you still ended up paying too much for the car... seeing that you could have saved $4000.00+ by buying used
its a lose lose situation
FUCK BUYING NEW
