The Mazda has no rebates right now, at least none that I qualify for. I could get a Mazda 3 i with ABS, side airbags, side curtains and power everything for $16800 or so. An EX with side airbags would probably run me $16200 or so. So maybe it is worth it to spend a little extra for the additional horsepower and handling...

My '02 Civic coupe has 37000 miles on it. I'm thinking about trading it in for a Certified '01 Sentra. What are the pros and cons of "trading down"?

If you don't HAVE to have the new car right now, you can save $1500-$2000 later on, when the rebates are available again on the Mazda3.
 
At one point in the past, Mazda was offering rebates AND subsidized financing on their cars.

Is there any reason you want to trade down? If finances is the main reason, you can save your self a bunch of cash by refinanacing the current car.
You have a car with a known history, assuming you had it since day one. Unless you know something that makes you uncomfortable with such hisory that makes you want to trade down.
 
If you do go through with the trade, I hope the dealer is giving you some good amount of cash for the deal. Nissan's, in general, don't hold their value as well as Honda.
 
If you got the Civic new, the finance rate is probably better than what you can get on a used Nissan.

2005 civics, financing and great SoCal dealers by guccigirl04

can you please suggest to me some great honda dealers in Los Angeles based from your own buying experiences or feedbacks from some people close to you?
 
i'm still deciding whether to buy a 2005 civic lx a/t or a 2004 civic lx a/t. it all depends on whether the price difference is worth the added value to the 2005 release.
 
and do you think the special financing by AHFC of 1.9-3.9% would still be there in dec 2004 for both the 2004s and 2005s? (that's when i actually plan to buy)
 
thanks!

If you are not buying until Dec, you have already made the choice to buy a 2005. With rare exception, no dealers will have any 2004 LX Civics left. Also, no one can guess what deals will be offered as incentives by Honda in December. Their may not be any! Try taking a little initiative and read all the posts back a year and you can see plenty of posts about dealers in your area.

It may not work in SoCal, but in NY, NJ, CT area it is not incommong to see a last year's model in the back of the dealer lot in January or even later.
 
I bought my 2002 Si in January of 2003, brand new, with 8 miles. Last year a friend was looking to buy a Civic. There were a few dealers who had 2003's on their lots, and some even had them proudly displayed in the front.
 
Just don't expect to be able to get the options or the color of your choice. Most definatley you will not find an LX with auto. Most of the "keft overs" in the metro areas are manuals, and either top of the line trims or the entry trims. LX is right smack in the middle of the trim. I would not be surprized if LX is the most sold trim across all of Honda models.
 
Good luck

But it doesn't have ABS. HX is an oddball model that never sold well.
