I've decided that i want a type r for sure, but need to find one at a dealer so i can get financed. I would like to buy an r from a honda tech memeber, but i know i would have trouble getting the loan.

Last year i tried to get the RSX S and was approved after several talks with the manager, so i know i can afford, or approved for the r. (since it is around the same price as the s) I've done several searches on auto trader and come up with a few. But, they are rather far away. What do you guys think i should do?

Oh, and the dealers i've called have sold the r's within a few days of me calling or they are asking to have 5k down to test drive...(no acura places)

sorry for the long post

 

 

haha, i know, but right now there aren't any other car that i could get at a dealer that i would want. and if i cant get an r i would only think (key word think) about getting the s. I love my vtec lude and dont think i could part with it. Some i'm just going to keep saving my down payment up until i can get the r at a dealer and without trading in my car.

 

The RSX-S is a good car, but if you're set on an ITR, then make sure you can afford insurrance before you go looking for one.

 

And a safe place to park it.

 

trader

 

i've been reading up on all the itr thefts and so on. And i know that the insurance company will tell me to bend over on their desk, so i'm ready...i guess...at least it's for an r...

 

traitor?

 

dont worry man, we all had to do it....just make sure you lube up....

 

opps

 

haha ky or like corn oil?

 

Traitor because I like a different Acura then what I have? Hmm... Okay.

Chris, who's assuming you were joking

 

ky works good

 

Think about what you're buying the car for.
I don't know about your area. I can't drive an R to anywhere I want, malls, theaters, bars, clubs, friend's driveway. etc.... It just can't be unattended. Think about if you want to go through that. I am fine because I have 2 other cars for daily driving, which is the RSX-S and the camry.
If you are ready for that or if your car is for racing, go for it.

 

RSX-S as a beater

edit: just make sure you beat the hell out of it, mis-shifts, 8k drops, etc.

Here ya go....

 

got my 93 vtec lude as my beater, and ready to travel where ever. not that bad here as it is in NoVA

 

hahahahah, not a crack head driver like the person was in that video in the kills forum. (cant remember what the thread was)

 

thanks but back to the problem of finanacing...thats why i have to get one at a dealer (i know that anyone selling there car wants cash or a certified bank check, and i can't get a loan at a bank) But then again, i havent tried in a year...

 

can't you get a loan at a bank? or credit union?

 

i'm with a credit union, havent tried them yet...but when i tried at my last bank, i couldnt get the loan. I've been told that you can get loans easier at credit unions...but i don't need to have my credit run to kill it any more. (need to build credit first, no credit=bad credit to banks)

 

oh well, time to leave work...later everyone

 

good luck with getting an R

dont get a rsx

 

Why not just wait a bit and see if this rsx-r thing is going to solidify? Shouldnt be more than 5-6 months before we hear something from Honda (this is strictly speculation and should not be quoted). I had my mind set on buying an R and actually almost did before I realized that I was paying 22k for it and the rsx-r, assuming it will come to the states, will be roughly 2k more. Definitely more car for little extra money in my opinion.

Believe me, I know how hard it is to resist purchasing a current R. I'm telling you, I had the loan and a seller ready to go and decided that waiting would be the best thing. Hey, worst case senario would be that the that the rsx-r does not come to the states, in which case I will have to "settle" for the Lancer Evo VII coming out in January.
