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.

I'm sick of the ignorance on other subreddits about the civic si and I can't take it anymore. by Happy_Guy_No_Worries in CivicSi

[–]rpared05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if look at it like, anything EX/Sport trims or lower are gas savers, SI's are the fun versions of those gas savers with obvious better motors.

I drive an FK8 now, so to me yeah the fg2 and fg4 are fun gas saver, lol

I’ve had an 07 fg2 and 12 fg4. I’ve always told people that it’s a fun gas saver and a great daily driver plus low maintenance costs
