Question whaddya think i should do?

i have a 01 lx, but my buddy is a honda salesman and says he can get me an 03 si dirt cheap. i mean under invoice. but i am trying to save to go back to college. and this will put me in debt another 6 or 7 grand. but an 03 si for 17 grand or less is a steal, right?

17 isn't a steal for a new si, i got mine for 16,995 and i heard people gettin em for 14,995 cause not many people are buyin em, i actually paid more for my ex cpe than i did for my si

the honda dealer by my house has only sold 3si's since they came out so there getting rid of them for about 14-15k. but your education should be your first priority. same with me.. once im out of college then i plan to swap cars to a IS300

Not only should you keep the money for school. . . but if you have to drive the thing onto campus, I'd rather have a nice big "LX" badge staring thieves in the face than some of them going for a shiny new Si.
