Should I trade in CVT Civic EX 2016 2.0L for Acura RSX Type-S 2006?

[civicmanic]

I am looking for a fun side car too. I've already did the whole front wheel drive thing, had a 9th gen si and an '00 integra gsr. But now, I keep coming back to the 370z.

$16,300 is absolutely ridiculous. I didn't even pay that much for my '03 RSX back in '08.

It wasn't rare back in '08. There are people that are willing to pay for rarity.

Having said that, I wouldn't. I think you can get a newer, better car for that money.

Damnn.. this is a good deal! I'm 1000 miles away from there though lolol theres always something..

edit: Oh wow they deliver. hmm tempting. Would it be worth it having it delivered? Never had a car delivered before not sure what all goes into it is it pretty simple... I'm actually considering this one now lol

A 2013 2 door Si is basically an RSX with a trunk instead of a hatch. They have a very similar profile. I bet you could get an even better deal on one of those.

Yeah I was actually looking at 350z - 370z as well. Nice cars with a lot of power!

It's 4 years older and is not a clean title.

One of the things I really like about the rsx is the hatch too though lol but I also like the coupe si if I can find a good deal on one id probably go for it.

Yeah I checked the carfax and the airbag deployed. Car was towed. Damage was on rear right side. Says hit parked vehicle/curb/pole etc. This was on 05/27/2003 in New Jersey.

This one looks pretty clean with low miles.

I have learned the hard way, but keeping and maintaining an old car can be more trouble than it is worth. And this RSX is 14 years old already. So unless you want to start replacing parts only to find another one that needs replacing soon after, then my advice is no.

Definitely. If the OP has money to blow and wants it as his secondary fun ride, sure, go for it. Otherwise as a daily driver, it makes no sense to buy that car.

As a daily driver the 10th gen can't be beat. With a tune and a couple handling mods you get performance, comfort and economy.

I called Scotty Kilmer for advice about this Acura.

Scotty and me, we now both live here in Tennessee. Tennessee sounds good to me. And Scotty.

Scotty said: no 14 year old cars for 16 k$, unless it's a Lexus and you can get it for $3500. That's what he paid for his wife's Lexus, and that Lexus was a better car. Not a collector's item though. For collectibles, I would look into investing in Beanie Babies.

I currently have a 2017 Nismo Z - love the car for what it is. The transmission is notchy but in a good way but the clutch is annoying - makes seasoned manual drivers feel like they can't drive stick but you do get used to it and there are aftermarket options to make the clutch pedal travel feel much smoother. It's a balanced car - it's not a stop light monster and Nissan has already gotten A LOT out of the engine to begin with - so $ for mod can be expensive - but from what I understand, with intake, HFC and exhaust and a tune - you can get around 330WHP.
To me it's one of the best balanced cars out there - won't be beating mustangs and camaros but this car has a really nice look (especially the Nismos) and the steering and fun factor always puts a smile on my face. Good luck if you decide to get one - the forum 'the370z.com' is a great place for a wealth of information.
