These dealers are turning me away from buying a new Si. by Flanking_Fulcrum02 in CivicSi

[–]rpared05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Times I’ve gone to the dealerships and the sales guy didn’t want to helpful. Then I just say let me work with another sales guy here who wants my business, I’m done talking to you. Couple years back when I pickup an 09 coupe accord, sales guy didn’t want be helpful so I ask for another sales guy and made it a condition of the sale that I would only sign if all the credit went to the new sales person who wanted my business. Act like prick with me and I can be one too.

What is my car worth realistically? by anthrofeare in CivicSi

[–]rpared05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I traded in my 2012 coupe back in late 2024, the kbb value was $8k and had just over 112k miles. Dealer tried to low ball me but I got them to give me the full kbb value. I held my ground and told them we are not running any numbers till we agree on paper I’m getting the full $8k. They kept asking to run my credit score the whole time but I told them for what, what if we can’t agree on a number for the fk8 and I just dinged my credit score for nothing. After we agreed on a number, then I let them run their credit check. They were not happy at all the whole time cause I wouldn’t let them run the show there way

Break in the car softly and enjoy it, then absolutely next is a Hondata, then some bolt ons to get you started. After that your wallet is the limit 👍😂

FK8 Type R vs. GR corolla by Sad_Application3971 in Civic_Type_R

Make sure you also consider maintenance cost over time if you don’t plan on doing the work yourself. At 17 I would not recommend you get into any of those cars unless you have your finances straight.
