Some buddy tone in and give me some reasoning for or against this.

Ive got a 93si with the sirIIlsd in it40k on the swap, about 197000 on the body. its got the usale rust a number of dents and bumps and needs paint. i owe 1200 to the bank for it.

question is: my mom offered me this; sell my car for what i can get, pay it off, and she'll sell me her 2000 ranger xlt offroad with 79,000 on it for 150 a month and pay my insurance. i pay 100(payment)+100(for insurance) every month for the honda.

1. should i take the trade? (i live in fargo, lots of snow, 4x4 would be nice)
2. how much should i ask for the honda

 

This is the hardest decision of your life?

I would keep the Honda. You don't have that much left to pay on it, I'm guessing insurance is going to be a tad bit cheaper. I've never been a fan of trucks, I'd keep the Honda. Just my $.02.

 

Well, what are your priorities at this point in your life?

 

id go for it... 150 a month is not bad at all..nice to have something with 4wd.. that way down the road u have something to tow the drag car with

 

Depends on whats going on in your world. Do you need or want the the truck? Is gas an issue? You have to ask yourself questions like that but of course everyone on here would say keep the honda also vice versa if this were a truck forum... my 2 cents

 

im liking the feedback, keep it coming

see, im a broke college kid with like 600 in bills a month, also gas isn't really that big of a deal since my mom pays for the drive back to sioux falls, but around town isn't that bad

it just seems the civic is nickel and diming me

also and opinion on price for the car?

 

you probably wont get more than 3500 for the car

 

I Live in SoCal, but I went to UND for 2 years. there is no use for a civic in ND, the roads don't even turn. Take the truck, and enjoy the f*ckin winter, and save some money.

 

i think your on to something there, im all for the ranger if it wasn't a nutless 3.0 if it was like an old silverado id be all over it prob

 

If I lived where u live I think I would def. want a truck , though I would not part w/ my EG if you held a gun to my head! seriously ! but in the end its your decision.My vote is stay w/ the Eg!

 

i think im just attached to it since ive done all my own work to it, i always paid a shop, but form the coilovers to the engine swap, heater core to tearing the iacv apart a thousand times, it was all me

 

WOW, you have to BUY your mom's car. why doesnt she just GIVE it to you and you can store your civic for the winter.

j/k. if you're in college and driving a truck, the #1 thing that i would be concerned about is GAS MONEY

 

hey you are lucky some how im paying 250 for insurance per month so yea thats an arm and a leg for the insurance ehhahahaha

 

i dont see 100 being lucky,

im at 63 a month full coverage with comprehensive and i only been driving 2 years

 

i know its expensive, mistakes made with my p71 police interceptor town car, k&n filter charger, true dual exhaust, and mustang heads haven't been quickly forgoten

i also have my own policy under my own name and my own car at 19

 

my mom said 4k for the ranger and i just kbb the ranger for 11,165, i think id be stupid to pass that up. ill just trade it in in 2yrs for a new si maybe

ok does this seem resonable,
93si, body kinda iffy
<4k on the swap since i got it
(si-rII lsd complete swap)
brand new falken azenis
new heater core
new distributer
over 3.5k in parts
interior perfect
850 rockford system (keep or sell seprate?)
sony explode cd/ pioneer primere speakers

3300, obo welocme?

also how would you advertise it?

 

i have a new front bumper, new rear 1/4 panels, 200$ in ppg painting supplys for it to i could pitch in

also its my mom, so if i dont pay her one month, no biggy
