Yea if you waited and deal you can take around 4-5K off the sticker of a brand new one. I was able to get my 02 in March of 03 and get 5250 taken off the sticker. The car was brand new with 7 miles on it.

The 7th Gen Si is a huge dissapointment. It shouldn't even be a Si because a real Civic Si should set its self quite a distance in performance than the lower model civics. When I test drove it, it braked the same, accelerated the same, and felt the same as my slightly performance modded EX. Now that my car is lowered a equal driver as me wouldn't stand a chance in the Si.
i think the 6th gen si civic was like that too, didnt felt like it was a whole a lot better than the coupe. check the specs, sure theres a 160hp. but stock accelleration and handling was not a whole a lot better than an ex civic with manual. of course the si was not a whole lot more either. ive seen the 7th gen si around the LA going for $16.8 as a dealer promotion during the summer months.

Yea it is down right now. I remember Type X saying something about having one of his buddy's work on the site because of all the errors we were getting. I wish it would get back up because I was trying to see if we could get a thing together this weekend. There were replys but I can not get to them.

haha some of you guys think it's overpriced? it's $15k for cryin aloud. Get a job, if you have one work harder. wow. The Si's a great car. The only thing I don't like, really, is that stock it's kind of underpowered, 160 horsepower doesn't really cut it that much, but it's still quick. Brakes may be weak, I think it has good handling and it really isn't that heavy, lighter is always nicer but compared to most cars these days, well they're obese.
I love the car, and it looks just as good if not nicer than the coupe IMO, once it's lowered.

I did the same thing as the originator of the thread. Had some work on mine, so sat in si to feel the seats. Test drove it and loved it. Handling was better, power was better, and I even liked the looks better. But, I wasn't going to pay the extra $15 month and start over on payments.

I bought an EP3 because you rarely see them on the road (at least where I commute) and I had an itch for a hatch. The lack of power doesnt really bother me. I just wanted a car to have some fun in.

I do love the EX coupes as well, though

Yep, post on both ephatch.com and k-series.com under the same name. I signed up here in early April because I have a friend with an 04 EX that would always send me links to interesting threads here.
