lmao

that car right now with 10k miles is worth less than 20k

You live in your own little world. Here's all the EX-L's a year old on Autotrader (forget about under 10K miles):

Now show me where I can buy my car for under $20 

mid 400s for a honda is still suicide territory. its a nice DD and car but i have had enough of buying new shit. waste of money... the only reason most people buy new is because they can't get credit for used. but at 790 whitney could've.

i've gotten as low as 5.2% on used and this was months ago.

Lol I love your stupidity.  Your telling me to buy a used car to save a couple thousand and get a higher interest loan to pay over a longer period.  Wow, that means all the money I saved by buying slightly used went into paying for interest.  When for the same price I could have bought something brand new. 

Yeah new cars are not a wise investment but neither is paying interest on loans.  I think in the end I'd rather put the money towards the car.   


But thank you for being so concerned on how I spend my money.

Rass, I am not sure buying something that devalues so quickly can be called a reasonable fiscal attitude.

If you have cash and want to dump it into something, buy a Charger and put it in cold storage.  With the economy very few will sell, and their resale will remain high as an instant collector car.  Sort of like the 03-04 Cobra which still commands $22K.

[Whitey]

More pictures since this car is depreciating 10,000 Johnny dollars a day 











I did a three step cleaner wax, polish and carnuba.  I think its better than the $600 "paint protectant" that the car dealer wanted me to pay:

There is value in having a new car other than fiscal.  I do mostly agree with what you are saying.  I was very tempted to buy a new car because of the bad economy and looking to snatch a deal that would be better than buying used.  Doesn't exist with cars that are decent.  All dealerships are down 30-40% but they don't want to cut some deals just to keep in business.

End result, I'm going to buy a 4-5 year old car with 80k miles like I initially thought I was going to and be done with the whole thing.  Then sell the car in a year or two at a minimal loss since I put very little miles on cars(especially with split duty on the moto).  The issue is all the cars I want to buy are "summer" cars and I need a winter car.  I might have to be a faggot and buy a used WRX.  I just don't trust those vehicles in used form.  To me they will come beat and bruised and they were already fragile to begin with.  I have no desire to fit broken drive train parts on a 4-5 year old DD.  I'll probably end up a ghetto Whitey getting an older V6 Accord Coupe.  I like them a lot, but I kind of want a HB for road trips.  I have a strong desire to see more of America and HBs are much better for the job.

[Spanish-rice]

i seriously love these cars. and the 6 speed v6 is just baller. youve got a hell of a car there.

[random-strike]

whitney, that car is fucking gay. only screech or some girl would drive it. just getting that out there.

you're wasting a lot more money in depreciation than you would in interest on a used one thats 1 or 2 years old, thats all i'm saying... that car isn't worth what those dealerships are trying to get for it thats why they always go down on price, and still make money on it. or they wouldn't sell it w/ making something.

i don't care what you do with your money, $705/month for a honda is amusing. 

[colt45]

Guys this is rhmt.  We will be subjected to buying used for the rest of our lifes...

its not that, im just used to not having a car payment.  I mean, if i had to pay for my civic every month, i wouldnt have any money left over to buy my weed.

Nice Im diggin the new Hyundai Genisis



Saw one on the road the other day and was WTF... I like it... TURBO NONETHELESS... hEARD TALE THAT PEOPLE ARE MAKIKNG LIKE 550+ ON STOCK BLOCKS.

I want one

Nice, pricey for a Hyundai. Looks promising though.

"With a base 2.0-liter turbo V-6, the coupe gets to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds.  The V6 version comes with leather interior standard, which is impressive for a car priced at $25,000.  Achieving 5.7 seconds for $25,000 makes the Genesis Coupe the least expensive 300 horsepower coupe in the world.  Moreover, the coupe is being certified to run on premium or regular unleaded gasoline while losing a mere four horsepower in the process.  The base V6 comes standard with a six-speed manual and sports fog lights, chrome fascia accents, and premium door sill plates.

Just as exciting is the overall Genesis Coupe base model, which comes in at $22,750 with a turbocharged, inline-four-cylinder base engine. It has been a while since we’ve seen a rear-drive four-cylinder coupe emerge for several years in the U.S."

Nice car. I just could never justify loosing thousands of dollars as soon as I sign my name.

Not necessarily true.  Used car financing is a lot less inciting than new car financing.  You may get a nicer car used for the same amount, but in the end you are still getting a car with an extra 60k miles and 3-4 years of life gone.  More to the new vs used argument when you are talking about average person cars.  Luxury cars buying new is stupid.  A $60k Mercedes is $35k 4 years later.  A Honda Civic/Accord only will drop about $3-4k after 3-4 years.  Not a huge drop.

Mom bought a 05 Equinox. Thought about selling a year after and used ones were being sold for $15k her's was stickered at $25k got it for $22k out the door. A prospective $7k loss after one year... no thanks. Sure it's a chebby, but it follows suit all around.

only the 2.0 i4 are turbo'd. the 3.8 v6 are not.

[Kenny Rogers]

I hope the Accord paint is better than the new Civic paint... thin and weak.  I don't tailgate but I have more chips in my hood than I care to think about.  Maybe I should have opted for one of those clear bras.

One of the '06+ with the 2.5, they seem to have most of their problems fixed.  I still wouldn't try to do burnouts on dry concrete in one but they hold together pretty well.  You might try to get a repo for less than NADA trade in (what the bank loans on) and fix the one or five things that are always wrong with repos for a sum total of less than trade-in.  Then you drive it for a couple years and sell it for a break even price.

The last hawkeye I tuned had phantom knock from the exhaust being bent so it rattled against the chassis (very common, causes the vehicle to run like shit under boost, great way to buy a car "that has something bad wrong with it OMG!!1!"), the owner said "I think it happened yesterday, I took the car off some jumps."  It has 50K miles, dirty, mud everywhere underhood.  I suspect the oil has been changed twice, three times tops.  If that sort of person can't break the damn thing then Subaru's priduct quality has improved.

Yeah was a misprint. RWD 2.0 4cyl 210hp regular 223hp w/ premium 223trq curb weight 3,294 lb- $22,000, RWD v6 non turbo 306hp regular 312hp premium 266trq curb weight 3,389 lb - $25,000 both come with standard 18" rims and 6 speed transmission.

Seems to be a tad heavy, but overall not bad.

[Whitey]

whitney, that car is fucking gay. only screech or some girl would drive it. just getting that out there.

you're wasting a lot more money in depreciation than you would in interest on a used one thats 1 or 2 years old, thats all i'm saying... that car isn't worth what those dealerships are trying to get for it thats why they always go down on price, and still make money on it. or they wouldn't sell it w/ making something.

i don't care what you do with your money, $705/month for a honda is amusing. 

A gay car is an automatic pink corvette with a blown motor that someone offloaded on you cause your a dumbass faggot redneck.    Just getting that out there. 


Also I didn't want a used car, I can afford a brand new car so thats why I bought.  And BTW I could pay off the car tomorrow if I wanted and I wouldn't have any payment at all.

yay you can afford a honda accord fuckin' baller.

my vette just put down 476ft-lbs of torque. its corvette red, the only thing pink about this covette is everything chasin it.

[Joseph Davis]

Johnny, can you stick to picking arguments over liberal fucking faggotry?  Because this thread is, like, beneath you. 

[random-strike]

hey man, i'm just saying 705 for a fucking honda common

[Joseph Davis]

Anything with a shorter term loan is going to have a higher payment.  So what?  He actually pays less with the shorter loan than a longer one, assuming the same interest rate.

If you had a point you'd be criticizing the bottom line sale price and not the monthly payment.  You don't have a point.  You're just flipping your shit because you're about to be a dad and you don't know what the fuck to do with yourself.  IT'S OKAY.  The child will love guns, burnouts, and untaxed liquor.  Everything's gonna be right as rain.

i'm already a dad he was born last friday 

the depreciation over 4 years is higher than the interest you'd pay for a used car at around 5% which is what you can get for a used car.

[Joseph Davis]

Yeah, and the best bang for the buck has always been buying 4-6 year old repo cars and polishing them up.  Failling that the $4K and under private party ads in the local paper are where the $ per mile of use values are.  You haven't gone either route in your entire history.  So what?

Hey, what'd you name the kid?

monkey man

The Honda Accord is my daily driver and my bike will run 9's this summer.  Your Corvette and everything you own won't even come close to single digits.   I don't care how much torque it puts down that piece of shit can't get out of its own way.  I own you.

// your life.

[random-strike]

your bike is gay.

as of right now you have a gay car you pay 705/month for, a gixxer like everyone else in the fucking world, a slow 4.6 mustang and live with parents.

you are the american dream my friend

[random-strike]

me too, or maybe the wild turkey

[Loserkidwac]

This thread is funny

Nice car Whitey

[98redcavz24]

Sick car man, I test drove one and it felt pretty good. However, i'd say auto for auto and 6spd for 6spd the cls is a bit faster

It's nice to get in something decent and just go every morning. Good pickup

[Turbo242]

I hate fake cobra's, the rims and cars

you'll prolly pull some nice college tail in that accord though

[BlackDragon]

as normal RS likes to fuck up threads by displaying how much balls he has for having an american car. 
 
Anyways, Nice car Matt. When I worked for Honda at Marysvile we actualy built the Tl, RDX, and the 4 door and 2 door accords. They are nice cars and were built very well.

[Jorsher]

as normal RS likes to fuck up threads by displaying how much balls he has for having an american car. 

Well, Whitey should quit being a socialist.

Those Accord coupes look really nice.

[Joseph Davis]

Huh, I never looked at it that way before. 

It just struck me, $700/month is a bit much for a Honda.  What are you smoking??

[Kenny Rogers]

When you're a drug dealer you can afford nice things.  I spend $700 an hour on jet fuel alone.

[AbaZ]

I hope the Accord paint is better than the new Civic paint... thin and weak.  I don't tailgate but I have more chips in my hood than I care to think about.  Maybe I should have opted for one of those clear bras.

No doubt, my wifes 07 civic (black) just like yours has tons of chips on the front. Black is defiantly the best looking car when its all polished up. But looks the worst if its not taken care of.

Nice car matt, I think I would have probably got the automatic though. Jeeze.. did I just say that?
