Honda Civic Coupe LX 2006, Nighthawk black Manual.
Attached is the pic. I'm glad Honda completely redesigned the Civic, it really lost a step to the Sentra and Corolla in recent years...but this year, it looks wow. I did get a chance to at least test drive the vehicle, and wow...it's like, when you shift gears you hardly feel it...but I guess that's the norm now. Even in previous years when you shift gears, you would at least feel the car jerk just a little bit...no matter how good of a shifter you are. But I got the same feeling from the 2005 Maxima...so I guess technology is better now.
But has anyone seen the interior of the car? I just dropped my jaw. The analog speedometer is a REALLY nice change to things. I think it'll become the standard in years to come.
I'm looking at around $300/mo for financing at 5% for 60 months. I have a pretty good credit score (750), which might be able to get me a slightly lower interest rate.
But are there any car buying experts here? Or at least someone who knows what they are talking about? I made $17000 last year...and considering tuition and all, I think I have a decent payment plan laid out before I get my new job after my degree.
Initially I wanted the DX, but that version has NO A/C...which really blows. So I'm looking at around 2000 more bills for the LX model...which at least has a 160watt stereo system with 15 inch wheels...even though the car itself handles no better than the DX (without regards to the wheels). I just want the base model, which starts at around 16,300 US$.
So yeah, I'm really excited about purchasing my first car for myself. My current car is a used 1996 Nissan Altima GXE, which cost about $6000...in which I paid half and my mother paid half. But now...gosh...I'm really giddy...I'm sure many of you will feel that way when you first purchase your own car. I love the looks and feel of the car...it'll at least make me look cool.
Car buying experts/enthusiasts...
