    i looked into some of those cars. I like the acuras but the 03 tl is not sporty for me. I looked into a nice 06 rsx type s 6 speed with 7 k miles for 20Gs. how does that sound?


    any other cars? something fun to drive and fun to mod?
    again, i want SUPER low miles.

    Thanks again!

    if you want something that is going to be fun to mod. Get a car with a factory turbo. It is much easier to mod cars like that. Look into a new Lancer Evolution or a WRX STi. AWD turbos will be the most fun cars to drive. After trying many cars the AWD turbo cars were by far the most fun to drive around.

    ok, so right now it's between two cars.

    My dad wants a basic model 07 eclipse gs - 5speed

    and I want a 06 RSX Type S - 6 speed - 7k miles

    both cars are 20 grand. on the dot.

    the eclipse is stock and boring.

    the rsx is ... http://www.ncautoauction.com/detail-2006-acura-rsx-type_s-1587032.html



    and my dad's reason for not wanting the rsx is "it's used"
    but its only got 7k miles, its still NEW!

    but in reality, I know my dad doesn't like the car because its modified.

    I personally would NEVER buy a new car......(unless I hit the lottery)

    I like the 1200-3000 dollar range...pay cash for it and drive it, then once in a while spend a few bucks on it too keep it running properly.....make more sense too me......


    but, your pa seems to think that this new car is the way to go......well, you should get a nice warrenty with it, and even a few other perks like rebates and things like that.

    If its between the two cars (RSX & Eclipse) i would definately go with the RSX! I like the carbon fiber on that car (hood, trunk and fenders). Those kindof mods aren't cheap and should be considered and 7k on the odometer is like brand new without having to pay a heavy sticker price of a new car.

    Dave had mentioned the Evolution and WRX. Now those are real fun cars to drive! A LOT OF POWER!!! Even used though, it won't be that easy trying to find one for a cheap price and low mileage. Also be aware that the Lancer evolution is very basic inside and it has a very bumpy ride.

    yeah, so i think thats everyone for the rsx.

    now I gotta talk my dad into it. he's the most stuborn person i ever knew.

    All he ever says to me is, "a new car is better"

    but it just makes me mad because thats not true. not ASways true at least.

    ibanez, remind your dad about the depreciation of a new car.

    here's the depreciation of an 2007 Eclipse GS

    year 2 - $1,673
    year 3 - $1,568
    year 4 - $1,464
    year 5 - $1,359

    Total - $11,108

    First year alone you lose 5g's!

    2006 Acura RSX Type s 6 speed manual depreciation (stock)
    year 2 - $1,824
    year 3 - $1,723
    year 4 - $1,621

    yeah...acuras, honda, toyotas, and lexuses have really good depreciation rates.

    I'd take the RSX over that GS any day...it'll run well over 200,000 miles if you take good care of it...I'd get rid of all that gay ricer body kit sh!t and those CF fenders...and that gay hood....sell all those parts
