Default Trading my '95 EX for a '04 SI

I currently drive a 95' ex coupe that I bought summer of '05.
My car has been pretty good to me, but it has about 182,000 miles on it and I'm just ready to get something newer.
I drove by this Chrysler dealership and saw an '04 SI Hatchback for $14,500. I looked it up online and it has 24k miles on it.
Not bad,
I'm gonna try to pursue this.

What do you guys think?
Give me some feedback.

$14,500 is more than i'd pay for an 04' ep si, but that's just me.

i'd personally take $10,000 and buy a 2000 or newer integra GS-R instead.

Well, that's just what it's going for.
I haven't negotiated yet.
But I don't think the price is that bad.

btw, I'm not into integras..

the SI hatchback is the only honda I want.
It's got everything I want.

Suggested retail on KBB is 18,120. And I thought 14,500 was high [&:]

Well, I would just like some feedback.
Not necessarily on if I should buy it or not,
but just basic feedback from anyone who possibly owns one.
I try to do research,
but there is always something I might be able to learn from others who have one or know a lot about them.

I like the car a lot, but you need to test drive it and see what you think about it. You should also PM ben, he has one.

I think byers is right on this one. A gsr would handle better, have more power, and be cheaper. Not to mention, reving to 8200 rpm is fun. I know not always practical, but in my experience driving ep's the 6800 rpm redline is kind of a kill joy.

I guess I worded my question wrong.
One again, I'm not asking for advice on if I should buy it or not.
I can make that decision.

What I was trying to ask is if anyone here had one and could give me some feedback on the car itself.
What has the experience been like with the car?
Possibly some pros and cons.
Things of that nature.
I just feel it's always good to hear things from others.

Yes, I've read reviews and done some research,
but I wanted to also see what owners on this forum had to say about the car.

Also, I'm going to test drive it today and see how I like it.
If I can get a deal, I'll think about purchasing it,
but I'm not in any rush.

I'll probably keep my current honda anyways.
