19k miles is still a new car... You're paying thousands of dollars for a new color and a volume knob? Ridiculous idea TBH. Get a wrap and call it a day.

Wow, 19k miles. On my car the engine didn't finish breaking in and sounding good until I had 40k on it.

It be worth it if the Si came in that sonic grey or "chalk" like the germans call it

We are 2 years away from the next gen. Wait for that if you want another civic.

Yeah not a good idea at all. Shelling out more for exactly the same car except with a volume knob and a 9 in the model year instead of a 7. Not at all worth it imo. I'd rather put in that money on some more cool mods instead.

You guys talked me into not trading, though I made the assumption that I wouldn't really be paying anything additional, just stretching my payments out another year and a half...

Based on this statement, I'd suggest instead of trading you should spend some money and take a math class again. This will likely save you LOTS of money in a long run

So, arbitrarily if you current payment was $300/mo. 300/mo x 18mo (additional) = $5400. That's a lot to pay for a radio knob and maybe a paint color.. and last I checked, $5400 more was actually spending more money.

I don't mean to be rude but you need to go buy a book about personal finance and don't set foot in another car dealership until you've read it cover to cover.

Not a bad idea...

Not a horrible idea as long as your not going negative on your loan. If you could score a deal on a new SI that is, I wouldn’t pay sticker. All depends on your financial situation at the end of the day.

Use the money on a wrap instead. But a new 2019 head unit with volume knob and let us know If it swaps cleanly into the 17.

Yolo.

DO IT!!!

Can’t put a price on a volume knob!!!

My math was based on- I am paying a car payment now, and would continue paying a car payment for an additional 18 months or whatever it is (yes even if it's inflated over the difference between what they'd buy my current car for and the price of a '19).

Edit- I removed my comment of me being sensitive and firing back at strangers on a forum...

Maybe it's just the tone of text but I've bought a few things in life and understand money relatively well. I knew if I were to do this it would be an additional cost but in a way I was ok with, via just an extension of the loan, and yes, I realize the negative equity part as well. @racer , this comment was not pointed at you, your comment is useful.

I sought out a leftover 18 in lieu of a 19 simply for the savings. And I bought exactly what I wanted- color and all
