My car died this morning. Final fucking straw after putting 1000's into it and it still is unreliable as fuck.
Thinking of picking up a 2016 Civic LX today
/o/'s thoughts?
what car?
what "killed" it?
>>14788708
>Civic
No. Mazda3.
do it
you can't go wrong
they look cool, the motor is good, and you know you're buying something that would last
someone is going to come in and comment on depreciation and losing money and etc etc but here's the thing
gap insurance will cover that and
the back seats of my civic have my cum on them and my girlfriend's pussy juices
would you buy it if you knew that?
>>14788727
don't listen to this fucko
new civics are pretty good
>>14788708
Why are you in a rush to buy a new car?
Honda has been coasting forever, if you want a Civic just pick up one from the early 2000s and then pick out a fun car to spend the rest on.
Literally no reason to buy a commuter new (unless you're getting something 'sporty' or have never owned a new car before).
>not bargaining at the dealer for $3000 off a new mid sedan more comfy than civic, camry
>walk away and wait for them to call back
>pay cash
>???
>profit

>>14788882
I get that, I mean why aren't you looking at used cars? As in, why are you in a rush to buy a NEW car?
>>14788918
Wtf is wrong with you?

Even if you've spent thousands, don't give up on her in this hour of need. Happiness is just around the corner for both of you, just weather the storm brother.
>>14788933
because it's a lease at 179/mo
>>14788944
Nigger, buy a throttle body on ebay. It's easy as fuck to change.
>>14788918
What have you done to it? Besides throttle bodies.
>buying a jaaaag
>not doing simple repairs yourself
fag.
>>14788954
i will later. i need a reliable dd in the meantime
>>14788965
throttle body, water pump, timing chain tensioner replacement, power steering pump / power steering cooler / ac recharge / new brakes / stereo replacement / some other shit.
>>14788980
Sounds like most cars out there to be honest
>>14788970
Get a friend to give you a ride jesus christ. Either that or take the bus. Shipping should be a few days for that part. Why the fuck would you buy an entire car for a few days of your car being broken?
If you don't have any friends, just rent a car. Still cheaper than buying a used one for just a couple days.
>>14788990
i make more than mcdonald's wages. so i'm mostly looking for opinions on a civic. not how to balance 800/mo because i work so hard - vote for bernie.
>>14788997
New civics are shit. It might be 180 a month but your insurance would go up, you'd have to pay more property taxes, and you'd most likely need a down payment.
How much cash do you have on hand for a down payment? (or to buy outright)
>>14788941
No thanks, I'd rather not take my chances with a used part with unknown mileage. At least the OEM part will be new and I'll have peace of mind having it installed by factory trained technicians.
>>14789054
pussy
>>14788708
Cars can't die. They aren't living organisms.
>>14788708
go for a 2015 Civic EX instead anon.
>>14788988
>Sounds like most cars out there to be honest
This
But then

> Escalation of commitment

The new civics are so shit they won car of the year in segment lol fuck off cub scout
>>14789631
The only reason OP has spent thousands is because he's a retard that refuses to wrench and buys overpriced parts.
>>14788708
>>14789393
2014 civic si
>>14788944
There is absolutely no way this is true.
I know zero about leases or new civics but i know there is zero fucking way any company would come up green letting a dumbass like OP fuck with a brand new car and then eat the depreciation for less than 2400 a year.
I have no idea why anyone would choose to drive a new civic under any circumstance. I would much rather have, lets say, a lexus thats a few years old. At least then i wouldnt look like the moron of the week buying a brand new generic econobox because he doesnt know better.
>>14789673
See something like this. You have endless options to make your money go farther.
>>14789653
Having aversion to wrench and being prone to buy overpriced parts are just additional reasons to pick up a new car.
When you own a new car, all you need is to turn the key and voilà.
>>14788735
Literally dont buy a Civic, OP
>>14788708
I just bought a 2012 Civic for the wife. Should last us 10 years easily. Paid half what a new one would cost. Why would you buy new?
Probably gonna do the same thing tomorrow OP
