Default need your opinion

Hi.
I have 00 blue si with 75k miles on.
Everything is stock, and thinking to get a turbo.
If you were me, would you upgrade this car to turbo or just leave as now?
I have 3 years payment left on, and can't decide is it worth to invest around $5k on this car.
What you guys think? should I get a turbo or just leave?
Thank you

Pay it off. If you're financing a 6 year old car and still have 3 years left you have no business making any further financial decisions on the car. Sounds like you're upside down anyway. If you bought the car new you probably owe more money than it's worth.

If you've even thought about investing 5k into the car before paying the car off there's a problem.

keep the si. I don't like the rsx's imo.

Personally I'd sell it and get a hatch, then mod it. You'd probably save money.

i agree with ek forever. Rsx is well I dont' like them either. They look ugly to me. As a car sales men. The best way if you do plan to trade it in is not to mod it. and the best way to get the buck is sell it on the street you will get way more. Dealership usually will give you less then blue book. Get a hatch I always wanted on but can't.
