I can get an 04 for cheap, however I can get better financing on a 05. Which would you pick. Is there any considerable differences in the two? I can't decide what year let alone what color. I think I'm set on black or white. I haven't decided.

 

of course 05, the newest the best it

 

are there any differences

Brand new 04 only has 15 miles on the odometer.

 

Well what will save you more money in the long run?? The better financing or the lower sticker price?

probably the lower price. the financing difference is 1%

 

04 is the better deal. especially if they are both brand new.

1st, your saving $3k

2nd, if you decide to sell it in say, November 2006, you would only have 2 years of miles driven. vs. someone who bought an 04 in january, who would have almost 3 years of miles driven on the car. so your resale should be a little better because of lower mileage for an 04. of course, this is if you keep the miles you drive reasonable to start with.

 

thanks for everyones help, I'm off to go buy it, problem now is deciding what color to get.

 

No one is thinking very far into this. You need to ask the finance manager what the total price is for both after financing, with and without the discount. I assume the price is within a few dollars. The deal on the 04 might be better if you get your own, independent, financing, but if you are going through the dealer then the end price, after years of payment, is most likley equal.

damn....beat me to it.

it's like when GM and Ford were offering 5k cash back or 0% APR. you save more with the lower interest rate. but, that was a 5% difference. see what interest rate your bank or honda finance will give you for the 04 compared to the 05. and then see what your monthly note will be over the term of say, 60 months. the lower monthly payment is better.
but, most used car loans are 36 years. however, i would rather pay 50 bucks more a month and be done 2 years sooner.... just figure out the numbers and then we'll help you decide.

edit: get white. it looks better with tinted windows and maybe some black wheels. plus, white is easier to keep clean over time. my 90 Integra's frost white paint looks brand new. a little lacquer thinner every year and some good wax keeps it nice and shiny.

Ok, the 05 was 19,220 for it with 2.9% financing. The 04 was 16.6 with 3.4% financing. I went with the 04, the difference was substantial.

 

wise decision. what is the length of the note?

I did it for 60 months, but I'll pay it off ALOT sooner than that.

 

THere is no difference betweent he 04 and the 05. Its a carry over from the year before, yet the sticker price is higher than the 04. I'd go with whatever comes out cheaper in the end. They are both the same car.

 

I would go in white the car looks so much nicer and it easier 2 keep clean no swirly marks when you wax it

I got the NBP

 

04 all the way bro That 1% would only constutute of savings of a couple hundred. 3k you can get some nicer wheels, a nice coilover setup, and still have money for i/h/e.

Edit: Knowing a lot more now about ep's and now actually loving the design i wouldve gottin one over my base. **** that woulda been like 4 -5k diff I coulda supercharged her
