but its a hon.., a hon.., a honda
well, actually, its not that bad, its a 2002 civic EX coupe auto(yea yea, i know, but i dont know how to drive a stick). my dad now drives the maxima, but in the summer he is looking at getting a new van, and if he does, its max for me, and civic for my mom. this car isn't that bad, sticker price was $17,750, we got them to $16,000($260 under invoice i think), and then we had a trade in, 1992 mazda 929, 115k miles, dent on passenger side, a/c dont work, 3 windows dont work, etc, got $2500 for it. i thought it was a good price. only bad thing is that i feel like flooring it every chance i get, damn car doesn't move unless under full throttle.

 

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

 

well atleast we still have the max in the family, but sucks that it aint my car any more(well, we'll see about that soon )

 

good Lord man!!!! I feel for you, I really do.....well at least its relaible!!

 

yeah its not a FORD

 

those civics have some great handling rite out of the door.

 

Staying stock?

 

thank you guys, for not banning me and laughing at me
seriously, its a good car, i mean, you can't compare it to the max, but it is a good car.
yea, stock for now. probably rims and stereo upgrade(stock stereo lacks, a lot), but since it might go to my mom in the summer, i dont want to do much to it, i want my max back
i might also get strut bars, maybe, i dont to mess around with it much, cause my mom might not like it after.

 

shoulda got a sentra spec-v for that price

 

why? I just ask you this why?

 

yeah I know what u mean abt flooring them every chance you get, when I drive my friend's auto civic around, I pretty much floor it all the time because its so torquless starting but its a good car.

 

i looked into it, a sentra se-r auto(165hp), it looked better than the civic from the outside, but i didn't like the interior, and it was way to noisy on the highway, and plus, if i bought a spec-v, with a stick, i wouldn't be able to pawn it off to my mom and reclaim my max

 

$16,000 on that car and you didnt even consider getting a nice 4th gen? you must of not had the choice in the matter...

 

That's what I was thinking...my friend said 97 Caddy Sevilles go around that price...

 

HONDA =

 

The good thing about owning a Honda Civic (or Accord) is that you will not be alone. Look in each direction and you will find other human driving similar cars My brother's family has 2 Accords, my parents have a Civic, sister has Integra. People that I went to high school with drive Acuras and Hondas. I, the smartest of them all drive a Maxima!

 

cadillac seville? lets move on shall we.
i was looking at a used 4th gen, but my dad said, "we got a maxima already, no need for another, and plus, i dont want another used car!" that was the end of my 4th gen searching. he told me to look for something small, gives good gas mileage, and is reliable. i looked into the civic, sentra, and corolla. i already explained the sentra, and the corolla didn't appeal to me, it was decent, but i thought it lacked features. well 2 strikes already, so the third pitch, the civic, hit a homer. i still have to get used to the exterior, looks wierd to me, but the interior is nice, ride is nice.
i miss the VQ engine sound, VRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!
what sound does the 4cyl civic make, BURRRRRRRRRR *shift* BURRRRRRRR, its a wierd, non enthusiastic sound. well i'm still gonna hang around this board, but i will make my appearances at the honda boards.

 

well it sux when u don't really have a choice but i too woulda gone for the Vspec and kept it and not pawned it off to my mother for the max again, i wonder what the aftermarket is gonna be like for the SE-R!
PS- Max4Speed i just have to say once again, your car is ILL!!!

 

congrats

 

Shoot I wish someone would buy me a $17,000 car. Congrad's on the new car.

I wonder how much the 2000 Max's go for?

 

well i had a choice, just a very limited one, and the civic was the best choice, believe it or not. gotta take it back next week for the spoiler, tint, and visor, after all that is installed, it should look a lot better.

 

Well hope you get your Max back soon but on the other hand don't worry about it too much because look on the bright side, you have a brand new car to drive.
