Hey everyone.
So I am debating between a used 17/18 Si or a new 2020 SI. IMO a used 2019 isnt really worth it because after taxes and fees I will probably pay around 23-24k, so for about 2 -3k more I might as well get a brand new 2020. I dont care for the Honda Sensing features, so it basically just comes down to the updated look/styling. My main deterrent for buying a used 17/18 is the AC issues that everyone is having. I know there is a TSB out for the compressor but it seems that overall the AC system sucks. Does anyone know if this issue has been fully address for the 2020 model year?
I know i can get a 17/18 si for about 20-21k probably with like 20-30k miles, which according to the posts that i see on the forums, will save me around 5-6k from a new 2020. I would probably put about 3k into the car as soon as I get it, just to do coilovers, flashpro/ktuner, intake and I want some aftermarket LED Headlights. I know people say the stock headlights are better but i really just want the look lol.
So it comes out to having a used slightly modified car for about 23k or a brand new un modified car for 26k. I wouldn't mess with the 2020 si just because of warranty.
My main concern would be AC System. What do you guys think should I just get a 2020 or is the 17/18 worth it?
Thanks!
