Trade
i have a question, i like the coupe much more then the sedan, i needed the room when i bought my car so i got the sedan, but know i dont need the room, i bought my car in june 2002, it is a 2002 LX currently has 13500km on it, nothing wrong with it but a few sctarches on the bumpers. if i ever though of trading it for a 2003 coupe LX, what would i get for it, i mean how much more would i have to pay, just a thought, thanks for the input.

I always feel the coupe has much more room for the front than the sedan. Unless you need the capacity to easily handle 4 ppl at any given time, don't see why ppl get sedans because it's bigger... It's only very marginally bigger.
Don't forget, that if you trade it in, whoop goes your insurance - new car/new 2003 insurance rates/2 door.
Also, for the scratches, for every year the car has aged, the dealer allocates a certain $$ to "fix up" the car. And that's on market rates, not dealer's cost, so if you have several scratches worth $2000 to fix at the dealer, and they've allocated say $500 to fix up a 1 year old car, your trade in price goes up another $1500.
I think you will be looking at putting in $5000~$6000 to get an LX coupe in return. IMO not worth it.

depends if you financed or leasd.... if you leased you'll have to dish out a lot of money....Probably like 3000 for breaking a lease so early. ( iused to work at a car dealership) but im not sure how it works with a finacne... i only worked with leasing customers
