New Honda in the Garage......You probably won't like it hahahaha
So I sold the 2000 integra, get offered another position, same company, more travel, around 30 more miles, but a lot more money. So I say yes, what's another 25 minutes a day, highway miles no traffic BS. The WRX kills me on gas, almost $500 a month now + more travel = no way. Also my insurance just shoot up, almost trippled, no reason at all, just Florida and insurance companies, from $1200 a year, $100 a month to $3500 a year. HELLLLLLL NOOOOOOOO.
I decided to go get a Scion xB, pretty good on gas, and looks decent, well I like them a bit, and I'm a big and tall dude, so I liked the room. The guy at the dealer was an Indian, a Dot indian, and he was a *****. Would not do anything, came out saying I needed $4,000 down and payments of $489. The price after a bunch of stupid dealer fees went up to $17,900. I was like I'll go buy a BMW for that kind of money, even if it is a used 325. That's it no offers nothing. I leave pissed off and go to Honda, right across, thinking of the Fit.
I want to see if it is comfortable enough. They had none in stock, nothing in Florida available either. So I start checking out the new civic. They only had one 2dr manual, it was an EX with a shitload of extras. It was $21,000, for a civic...nah....So I start checking the Element, base price $21500 on the EX. I was like I rather have that than the gay civic everyone will rice out. They found a brand new 05 they still had in the lot, manual and some good features. Well to make the deal they went down to 17k, less than the Scion, still boxy and roomy, torquier than a **** and well I like it. Only had to put down $600 down to cover the tag and stated fees, and the payment is $300 a month. Just what I wanted, something I can't really molest too much, just a daily driver.
With my impulses and a civic or a scion I would have been buying parts left and right for them. Don't want to do that again. I'm just dropping it, some nicer rims and tints, that's it.
WRX is on sale, I'm going to part it out. I like the car but it's getting too expensive to keep
.
Also 92 integra for sale. once I fix up my credit a bit better, then I might get something nicer.....
and for those that didn't read anything, here's one picture.
I'll take more later......
There was a K24 Turbo Element, saw a pic somewhere, so maybe, just maybe.....

Nice personally don't like those but seems like you got a good deal...I bought my Mazda used from a toyota deal and as soon as i walked in they tried to set me up with a scion, which I think are all ungly and yea starting price is cheap but once you add all the normal options its just as much as any other "nice" car...civics are over priced now too

Re: New Honda in the Garage......You probably won't like it hahahaha
17000 is hella cheap for an element, just think about the space, the room and that it is a 2.4 not some shitty 1.5 that barly pulls the car.
FYI i know a few ppl with their element becasue ppl need the 2.4 block to do hybrid K24s
