I want a RSX type-S

I have wanted and RSX type S for the longest time, well i guess since they came out. I use to want a Integra GSR but i could never find one and it was too much money. But now that I have been out of school for a bit, i think i could afford a used one. I love the type s sooo much, i still havn't driven one because if i do then i absoulutly would have to get it right there on the spot. I have a 03 civic EX/SI right now, and don't get me wrong i love my car but i want to rev the car to 5500 rpm and feel and hear the screaming vtec, i have wanted that for sooo long. Also that engin also responds to mods quite well, a hole lot more than d17 does. Anyway i just want to get a dohc "real"vtec car

I have 10000 dollars left to pay on my honda civic 02 with 23000 miles on it. Is there any way that I could turn in the civic for an RSX even though I haven't paid off the car yet? What would they do, just take the 10000 and put it on the RSX?

just a question...I luv my civic...don't know if I have the guts to trade it in without feeling guilty...

they would take what the car is worth, and calculate how much its worth and that would be your down payment...say your car is worth 12000 and you owe 10= 2,000 dollar down payment

You and me both dude. I have an Si (EX) as well, but after my cousin bought a Type-S two years ago, I've always wanted one. I'm planning to get one when I graduate from University next April.

yep, we've all said it before: I should've bought the Type S. though, the insurance for those cars is way more expensive than most of us could probably afford.

mwahahaha (jk)..... I just got rid of my civic 2 weeks ago for a base model RSX... Let me tell you. When you get behind the wheel it just does not compare to the civic.

And TBH, RSX's look a lot more appealing than the Civics. Especially at night with the H1 bulbs... Although insurance is a little more, at least now I am HAPPIER than when I had the Civic.

I too feel this pain everytime I am home and get to run my dad's type s around the block. But yeah, I get better mileage, have lower insurance, and can actually afford my car for the moment. Maybe once I hit 100K (I am at 37k now) I will start looking for a new car, I am in this one for the long haul

Just remember, no matter what you drive (unless its a McLaren F1 ) there will always be someone with a car that is faster or better handling, now learning to live with that everyday is the hard part

if i got a new car right now, a Type S is what i'd get.

tint, drop, lights, rims, painted calipers = Sweetness

but i'm not getting a new car for like 10 years.
