Re: East Coast is the Right Coast - Let's try this again...
speaking of owning multiple hondas(/acuras) i'm considering buying my third which may eventually replace my second, the CR-V. Quite undecided though.
Started out wanting a first gen TSX but also looked at TLs since I would be less inclined to mod it. But then that made me really only want a TL Type-S, especially in 6MT. Then being afraid that would be too sporty versus luxury I said maybe an 05+ RL would be more practical. After that I thought maybe I'd want the space and "utlity" like I had in the CR-V and since I was considering RLs, why not an RDX or even an MDX which I could tow with.
Then of course there is always an s2000 which would be another summer vehicle just more daily driveable assuming I can keep it as stock as possible. I got to drive a yellow AP1 all a month before that and after that I think its going to be very hard to resist wanting my own come spring time.

i would like to get a newer RL with awd eventually, but the scion ft86 might be a graduation gift to myself in a few years

I had two hondas lol, but sold the hatch last week, I'm waiting on a response through email about purchasing a 1978 corolla wagon. The body has some rust on the rockers but all panels line up perfect and it's the guys daily driver. Trying to get it for $650 lol

Re: East Coast is the Right Coast - Let's try this again...
Trying to make the best investment as far as value of what I'll get out of it and not wanting multiple cars for multiple purposes is having me all over the place.
Under $20k, Ideally $15K or under. The only vehicle I'd consider spending move than that is the RDX because of their uncommoness.
I think its down to an RL (AWD, not as moddable as the TSX or TL, and don't have to decide over auto and 6spd). Unless a TL-S comes up, ideally 6spd but might settle for auto too

Re: East Coast is the Right Coast - Let's try this again...
Oh I definitely am. It started out as just wanting a nice luxury sedan for daily use, hence the TSX, TL, or RL. But realizing I'll be losing some things I liked about the CR-V if I replace it, mainly space and being great in the winter it made me wonder if I could find an RDX since it would be kinda the best of both worlds. But then it might be more cost effective to get the larger MDX since they are more common and has the opition to tow if I wanted to.

If you want value, and don't seriously plan on getting something to tow with (AAA is cheap, that is what I would do), then I recommend looking at the used cars in the last 5 years that retailed for 30-50k. Find a couple you like, and then seek them out. You will be surprised at what you can find.
How much cash do you have to put down? Cash is king, and it will open up a lot of options that are not available if you are reliant on a bank for a loan.
