so i recently had the great idea of thinking that i could afford to finance a 04-05 TL myself (20 year old college student workin part-time) soon after visiting the dealership i realized that was all a dream with my credit score (13% apr because i don't use my credit card too much)... and after looking at my insurance quote ($2000 on progessive *just checking* for 6 months). my sister soon informs me that she has a friend that works for Honda Corp and that she could hook it up with a FD5 in TW but she tells me that she can't get deals on an 08 car no more and i have to wait until she can get a price quote for an 09 so i'm like ok no problem she also said she'll look in her *used* car listing if she see's anything for me and i say thank you and everything for her hassels. so yesterday she emails me back saying that she has found an *used* si for me but the only problem is is that its red/black coupe w/ navi with only 37 miles on it for a steal of a price after her discount (under 20k) now i wanted a white sedan and i don't need the navi but i wouldn't mind it. i don't know its too good of a deal to let pass by but its not exactly what i want... some input please HT?

that sounds like a great deal, just make sure you get a low arp rate. Your insurance might stay the same.

 

Being that new Si's go for a little over 20k I would say your paying the same price you would anywhere. The added Navi makes it a little bit of a deal but I wouldnt call it a steal. Check out Kelley Blue book and youll see your at the same price they should sell for.

the price for the car in the condition that it is in right now is 25,170 according for KBB and it would be 19,906 after taxes that's almost 6k off... and its 37 miles not 3700 or 37000... i would still consider this a new car... but they say its a used car because its an 08...

 

well the thing about the price is you have to cash it out right away so i was thinking either take out a loan at the bank (bofa) or ask my parents to cash me out the rest and i pretty much treat them like my bank and pay them every month... insurance on the si is a whole lot cheaper i was surprised did a quote and its bout 1100 for 6 months...

 

I was just saying cuz I payed 21k for my brand new SI with 2mi on it. But your right, thats basically a new car for under 20 k is a good deal.

 

**** 2k for 6 months?!??!?!
i wish mine was that much.
im 2736 every 6 months.
