i have a 2000 civic which some of you might know.. but its time for an upgrade!!
I guess my question here is should i get the new Si or stick with the Ex model and upgrade from there?!
Any input/ advice would be greatly apreciated.

 

Wasnt this just asked like a day ago?

 

the net cost will be less for the car you have to make as much power as the Si. keep your EX, get a B16 swap and turbo and engine build, all for less than the price of a new Si, and with more power than it. Or even get the K20 that the Si has and put it in your EX and then build it and turbo it.

 

i wasnt saying to keep this ex, sorry for not statin that...
i meant to buy a new ex and build up from there or buy the new si?

 

get the Si. EX has 60hp less. There's no point in buying an EX and modding it when you had the option of buying the Si.


Dang, everytime someone talks about getting a new Si I envy them. I want one sooooooooooo bad but they're sooooooo out of my budget. I can't afford a new car. LOL.

 

well i cant either...
but i surely can finance one after selling mine. lol

im selling mine for atleast 7000 putting that as a down payment and my monthly payments will be around 270-280 a month for 48 months..

Now that i can do.. lol

by the way im only 18!

 

yea i'll be 18 next week

 

Unless you're made of money, I'd go with a used EX. Gas, oil, tires, and other petroleum-based products aren't likely to get much cheaper over the years (neither is the general cost of living), a new car isn't financially smart when you can buy a 1-2yr old used car and let someone else take the big hit on depreciation, and this is the time of your life when you should be concentrating on minimizing your expenses/liabilities so that you can set yourself up with a good education, a good job, and a good income + assets to debt ratio.
