8thgen?

Oh man, so ok we have a meet over the weekend and we go and visit the Honda dealership and BAM! we see like 3 or 4 8thgens. Well we get to looking and what to we see...at an almost $30,000 civic. We were like OMFG these are hot, but no way should anyone pay almost $30k for a civic. Here are the pictures and the price is the very last picture.

30 grand? It better do the quarter mile in 14 seconds. If not, I'll buy a car for 30 grand that can do it in the high 13's.

$2700?!?! I have 18" black HPD Spinouts and paid like $660 without tires. What a rip off... They are hot as $#!t tho:-D Both those rim sets were HPD's too, looks like the dealership loves them some HPD's. (www.perfectlyround.com)

when i was getting my car, I saw a modded red coupe 02 with alot of dealer accessories. It was around $25k once everything was added. $400 for tyc heads, $1500 for lip kit, $1500 for some oem alloys, and a whole bunch of little crap like exhaust, floor mats, all way above retail. I bet if I sold my car to the dealer it would go for almost $20k with all the oem parts on it alone.

Both coupe and sedan look wack. 7th gen oem kit > 8th gen... For $30k, you might as well get a RSX-S, TSX, WRX, Evo...

Al Gore FTW is a glorious beacon of light

wtf, 30 grand??!?! maybe, MAYBE if it was an si with nav + all the extra **** and 4k markup should they price it like that.

reminds me one time when my dealer took an early 04 dx and added the hfp kit (aero kit, wheels, suspension). it was a civic that was over 20k, and didnt even have AC.
