i already have a 2000 civic si but my dad told me if i go to the college he wants me to go to he will give me 5 grand to put towards a new car so ive been researching and its between keeping the si or getting an rsx. what should i do???

 

Honestly, I'd keep what you already have. Having new car payments while at college is not what you would want to worry about.

No doubt, even if you trade your si and put the 5 grand down you still can't afford a type s you might could if the title is salvaged. or you could get a kia. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Pat_S &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Honestly, I'd keep what you already have.

Saving money is what you should be doing.

 

If you like the SI than just keep it and fix it up. But if you want something newer than go with the rsx. I would personally go with the RSX since it's newer but its all up to you.

 

I would go with the rsx too if you can.

ftw

HIGH FIVE

Seriously to the OP, 5 grand is gonna put you at least 10grand closer to a RSX in decent shape. So just keep the EM1 until you get out of college and have a good career.

couldn't have said it better myself

 

You have a solid car. Keep it and save. If you're bored, mod it a bit, but don't do a big investment while entering college.

SAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

 

If you see all my cars for sale. College is the reason for that. Go to school, get good grades and enjoy the college atmosphere. You can;t do that with loans in your name and needing to work. It sucks. Put that $5k in your savings account and put it towards a new car when you graduate and trade that EM1 in.

i have a 2003 rsx type s black with 39,000 miles clean title!! for sale!! or trade + cash

 

I like how it matters so much to his Dad that he attends the college that he wants instead of what his kids wants that he will give him 5 grand to do it.

I would save the money and buy an RSX after you get done for sure!!! Good luck man.

 

keep the si and k swap it

 

keep it but dont drive it to college... your car will get stolen

 

keep the EM1, use the extra money your dad is giving to buy a beater and upgrade your EM1's security. DEI alarm....FTW
