Default Switching to RSX

hey newbie on RSX.. Just curious, I've been watching prices of RSX's and planning to have one but one thing I noticed is that prices are getting low(cheap) compare to other new honda's ( around 2000 models). What's behind on this? Is there a big downside on RSX?

how are you comparing models and price?
i think the rsx is holding their value very well as with any other honda model

there are plenty of things that can adjust the price
odometer, condition, etc...

Maybe a messed up title... Maybe a fixer upper that some mechanic got dirt cheap and 8g was a "i want to get rid of it" price ... Who knows...? I've never seen an RSX below 10g's in Portland, OR though.

i can see a 02 base rsx in moderate condition being around 10
it can also be the area you live in

but like agent said, it could of been in a wreck and they just want it off the lot

Dude when did u get it for that price? Cause that's alot. I got my 03 type s for 13k 3months ago.

To answer the op, a base model will not hold its value like a type s but it depends in ur area too

well, when I look a car I make sure it has clean title, I dont buy salvage due to hard to get rid if I want to sell. I am sure they have clean title and I usually ignore the salvage titles. I live in WA so im sure car here aren't cheap.
