Ok im gonna do it...do not try to talk me out of it! ( buying new car)

After many years of hoopdie cars..I'm going to get a new one...that last 400 dollar radiator did me in on my little car...and with a soon to be 2xxlb 6 foot tall son and a BF its time to get a larger nicer car....I've been driving a 87 crx...so I need more room!

Hondas are my first choice...

I narrowed it to the 2012 EXL 2.4 i owned a 01 with leather and dang it I want that again...moonroof I can do without..but I like the alloy wheels and it does get decent gas mileage

Found one at the dealer with 62xx miles..they wanted 25909..also comes with 100000 honda certified warranty.

Kbb trade in is 21818..,no problems with carfax..and it was sold originally by this dealer and stayed pretty much in this area its been at dealer for about a month...

I have financing at 4.73 with 84 months if over 20000 dollars..I am going to look into refinancing in the future at lower rate. I also get 90 day delay on first payment...

I also average 7000 mi a year..I've been renting cars for out of town trips..family is about 5 hr drive...I see them about 3 to 4 times a year...but I'm thinking more now with newer wheels!


I am ready for pros and cons! I am planning on running this to 200000 miles or more!

Oh and where is the car advice thread? I need to rehearse and get ready to deal with dealer...

They counted the rebate as a down...so car came out to 19499

72 mo at 5.25

I didnt think to negotiate doc fees...Frown. California does have a limit of 80 on the fee.
72 months? 5.25%?
