Ask someone who just spent $16,000 on a used 2012 civic si anything.
>>13818971
I don't have anything to ask, but nice purchase.
I just thought of a question actually... K20 head swap when?
>>13818971
Why not a Mazda 3?
>>13818994
Honestly I don't like how it looks. Plus i was looking for a fun DD and felt like Mazda 3 wouldn't give me as many lols.

looks nice. Good job. seriously.
As long at the first owner didn't bang on it.
>>13818971
$4k more and you could have grabbed a 2015.
>>13819166
Wat..? Explain yourself. All the new Civic si's i saw were for 23k.
>>13819186
Sure. Sticker price, maybe. But you gotta lube hem up and bend them over the table. 2015's are especially easy right now because they need to push steel and make room for the 10th gen's. DESU, it was $20,950 before taxes.

Eh whateva i'm happy with the purchase. Car only has 27k miles and i can live with 4 less hp..
>>13819229
Negative, Ghostrider. Further south.
>>13819257
figured you were due to the pinstripe and the (assuming) $499 document fee
that's a big jersey thing
>>13819248
Yeah, still a SOLID deal you found. Just keep tabs on the clutch. I've replaced 3 for friends / family all around 50k miles. It's he same clutch as the EX and it's pretty solid, but it seems to go the way of the dodo when women drive it.
>>13819262
Ugh. The fuckin pinstripe. That was the first thing to go. They wanted to tack $75 on it. I told them to take it off and he goes "Man, that'll cost ME more than $75. I'll give it to you."

hahahaahaha shit nigga I wish only the best for you and the life decisions you will make.
>>13819553
I commute 50 miles a day to work and back. Plus everywhere else i drive i'm averaging about 300+ miles a week. I know it's not the fastest or funnest but as far as practicality goes i think i nailed it.
>>13818971
You paid cash or financed?

should have just saved a little moar and bought a new one senpai, they go for about $22k and the 2013+ interior is superior to the abomination that was the 2012 9th gen
>>13820950
You like that red interior? I feel like it gives off an 18 year old racer vibe.
>>13819947
I financed it but i traded in my old car and put money down so my monthly is only $120.
>>13818971
Please tell me theres a k20 under the hood
>>13820950
So is it better to get something used (certified, lease return) with ~30,000 miles and save $6,000 or just buy new? I have enough to buy it cash but dont know if it justifies the price difference. Cant decided on which for a Mazda 3.

Save your $6,000. A new car will depreciate that much within the first year. Honda CPO's have been completely gone through and they get a warranty every bit as good as brand new ones do.
