Default EX-L or SI

I just bought an EX-L coupe on Dec. 26th, but I am seriously thinking about trading it in for an SI.

I love the car, leather, Navi, etc......

but it is soooo sloooooooooow.

What do you think?

Mod or trade it in?

you'd have to changes your username if you traded for an si


You're gonna get bent over trading in a car that's 2 months old, stick with the EX-L.

Yeah, I know....... Back in the day, I traded in a 87 Prelude for an 88 FWS Prelude SI and took quite the hit....

I'm gonna talk to the salesman tomorrow. If he can can work up a good deal and I don't have to come up with too much cash, to compensate for the loss, I may do it.

What mods would you recommend to add a little zip to my EX-L?

I don't know how much "zip" bolt-ons add on the r18 motor. Maybe someone else will have some advice.

If you want a faster car to modify, get the Si.

And i'm an R18 advocate

Trading in cars doesn't look bad on your credit. Not paying them does.

However everytime someone's credit is accessed they take a tiny hit on it. Not much though.

Of course.

But you never mentioned anything about taking out a loan...and neither did the OP.

What if he finances at the dealership?
