WHat do you think of this? http://www.vib-motorcars.com/used-in...b9e7df902e2499

Maybe I'll just put my money towards a down payment?

Yeah, I should get some opinions on their reliabilty from the owners here and how they are on gas (I'm guessing not good). I'll be driving from downtown to bby almost everyday.

da-suu 01-19-2011 06:45 PM

Maybe Anthony Espinoza can score you a deal on an IS-F. :p

IMO dont bother with the rsx-s unless comfort is more important than the fun/handling/modability/affordability/looks(imo) you get with an integra/older civic. (owned both)

The rsx sucks in the rain/bumpy corners- so all the time in vancouver. The back end is way to twichy and the wheel hop/traction was a PAIN.(this with an aftermarket lsd).
On top of that the insurance is ridiculous for what it is.

A well kept civic/integra with a motor swap > itr (unless you're tracking/keeping the itr 4ever)
You should have 4/5k left over atleast.
Thats insurance/gas for a cpl years or a whole lotta fun. :fullofwin:

2004 acura TL with a bit of mileage on it can be had for around 12g's.

personally i think its a good car for the buck.

epicbeardman 01-19-2011 08:02 PM

what are your opinions on volkswagen GTI's and Mini Cooper S's?

skylinergtr 01-19-2011 08:04 PM

personally i dont like vw.

they arent going to be reliable.

neither are mini coopers. They drive nice, but they have a typical electrical powersteering system that fails and will cost some thousands to fix/replace.

If you want euro then get a E46 BMW.

Mr.C 01-19-2011 08:20 PM

Ya I hate it too. But for some reason a lot of Volvo guys get boners over it. It's pretty fucking rare is why.

Any opinions on just buying a cheap ass EK9, popping in a B18C5 in it and lowering it over some 17/18s? Think it can be done under 12?

I wish I didn't have 2 cars already, because I'd totally snap this up.

I've always had a hard on for these wagons!
