Keep the LX, or get an SI...???
 
A guy in my hometown is selling his 2002 SI. I am thinking about buying it, but am not really sure. I really like the way it looks, (USDM type R lip kit, 17" Racing Harts, coilovers, Mugen style cf spoiler, DC header, Greddy Exhaust) and it only has 45,000 miles. He is only asking $12,000 and that was about a month ago and I think if I go to him with $10,500 cash that he will take it. My friend, who I bought my LX from wants it back because he likes the way I have it and is willing to pay more than its worth for it :). Downfall is my dad bought my LX and I have to ask him if I can sell it, and I am not sure how thats gonna go. Just feel like typing to I guess :shrug: .

So what you all think? Yay, or nay???? :screwy:

heres the EP im lookin at...

Yea. Yea times 1,000,000... I'd take one if I had the option.

ex2k3 09-14-2006 06:19 PM

If your friend is willing to give you more than what the car's worth and there isn't anything left owed on the car after that, then it sounds like a good deal to me. I would do it if it were me!

dp_yz713 09-14-2006 06:22 PM

Yah car is deffinately paid off, both of them. Being I only bought my car from my friend for $5,500 lol.

ohsnapsjay08 09-14-2006 06:22 PM

dp_yz713 09-14-2006 11:58 PM

Suzy Q 09-15-2006 11:39 AM

do it! it looks good!

sil04ver 09-15-2006 12:53 PM

yea the Si's are way nicer......usually overpriced from dealerships, thats why I hope to find an 05 from a local seller in the next year or two. anyways, that car is niiiiice, pick it up.

SLO REX 09-15-2006 12:55 PM

Do it bro, if you can afford to. That is one nice SI.

Hurts2bStock 09-15-2006 12:59 PM

That si is awsome, do it :tup:

dp_yz713 09-15-2006 02:15 PM

yup well i am leaving in like 5 minutes to go back home, 2.5 hours, and i will go talk to the guy again. he originally wanted 12, but now he said 11. so i think i can get it for 10 or less. hahahha

if i get the car for the same price i sell my EM for then I will only be paying $7000 for the car cuz thats what i paid for my EM and to make it the way it is :)

jester444 09-15-2006 03:31 PM

That's one hell of a deal. Congrats.

If you can get it for 10,500 with everything on it ..........DO IT

depotcivic 09-15-2006 10:34 PM

Do It, Then Sell It To Me

gaugeof12 09-15-2006 11:30 PM

I would get it, sounds like a good deal. However the rims look like sh!t & have to go.

Johnold 09-15-2006 11:42 PM

what i wanna know is-WHY THE HELL IS HE GETTING RID OF THAT CAR?. is there a catch here?

Personally, i'd NEVER get a pre-owned car thats already hooked up. you're just buying someone else's idea,taste, and imagination. i like stock cars. so this way i could do it myself with my taste.

boricua_civic 09-15-2006 11:45 PM

take ittttttttt!1 :sweet:

Pushin_A_Civic 09-16-2006 01:21 AM

Mutha Fn FBM 85 09-16-2006 05:54 AM

did you ask your dad yet?

Johnold 09-16-2006 07:15 AM

sorry my last post really didn't help much. but umm, i think it's a really nice looking car. yes, if you know this guy really well and know that this Si is in good shape. than go ahead and grab it man!. BY ALL MEANS!.

SloW4Sh0wVic 09-16-2006 09:50 AM

get the SI, I miss my rsx :(

dp_yz713 09-17-2006 10:39 PM

i know its someones car but i will deffinately put my wheels on there and pretty much has everything else i would put on it.

although the guy wasnt there this weekend so i didnt get to talk to him about it. i wont be back there until another 2 weeks so hopefully he still has it :(
