21,000 for a new car that depreciates at least by 5 or 6k when you drive it off the lot.

I'd get a certified used Si that's a few years old for quite a bit less, and get an extended warranty. That way you've got the money you saved to put into upgrades when you want to.

Looks good, but the oldest Si of that model is only a 2006, so it's still going to be expensive. In any case, HFP wheels and the lips that go along looks incredible to me. Then if you're wanting to upgrade, i'd start with suspension.

I'd honestly snag a brand new one man. If you find the right store you should be able to buy one at invoice price OR LESS. Research tips on buying a new car. Don't get F-Bombed!
