Goodbye Civic?

Heres the deal...
I have a 2003 Honda Civic EX with just over 5k on it; its about two months old and I'm already sick of it. I am wanna sell it for a RSX Type-S. I need opions. Quite frackly with what I would wanna do to the civic to make me like it I would be able to just get the RSX-S or even an S2000 when it comes down to it. This has been bothering me so bad i can't sleep at night.

Trade it for an S2000.

But, seeing you live where I do, and I know the winters are **** here, it wouldnt be smart. Unless you have another car to drive, that s2000 would be wrapped around a tree once it snows.

(*clink clink*) just my 2 cents.

Why the hell did you waste all that money on your car then. And why the hell would you get the ugliest mini-minivan in existence (the SI if you did not understand). People at Homestead will make fun of you for choosing to buy such an ugly car and wasting so much money on your other car (although most people dont even know you exist at hhs). I'm sorry for sounding like a ****. But I have not heard of a stupider idea in all of my life. (I believe your name is Paul)

I got $11,000 trade in for my 2001 EX automatic with 25,000 miles.

Trading a 2003 is way too expeisive. The biggest hit on depreciation was when you drove it off the lot the first time. 3 years is usually an optimum time to trade.

I bought the car because I had all the cash up front to buy it. I thought i would be happy not having to make payments every month. In the last month certain things changed that would make it possible for me to get a better car. I am prolly going to end up getting a Acura RSX-S. I didn't think they were making a RSX Type-R, 0317ex; do you have any stats on that?

Why don't you just keep your 2001 TL as your driving car guessing its your parents or sumthing? Rsx-S or wait for the new WRX STI .

I bought the 2001 TL from my dads friend when i went back to school... I planned on selling it to my brother when he got his license (hes 16 now). I paid 10k for it and got it with 20,000 miles on it. and its not a type-s just the base with the navi in it. I never planned on moding it bc it got me back and forth everyweekend when i went to my first college. I got the civic because I wanted a car i could mod like my old toyota mr2 (and incase your wondering i got rid of it bc a drunk driver hit it) anyways... I won't buy an WRX or anything american/domestic. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the RSX-S.
