Here is history on this vehicle: 10/18/02 Registered in Mass.as private vehicle. 6/16/03 For sale at dealer in N.H. 6,880 miles 6/20/03 Sold at auction in N.H. 7,043 miles 7/1/03 For sale at dealer in Mass. 7,088 miles Price $15,500. Opinions, please. The car appears straight,but has been on lot since July. |

| Considering I just bought a brand new one for $16,500 I don't think a used one is worth $15,500. If you want this car offer them a lot less. Try $14K, or buy new and get the 1.9% financing, which is hard to beat. That alone saves $1000 over 5 years. | |

I agree buying a used Si with questionable history for $15,500 is unreasoanble. Considering I bought a left over 2002 Si in January for $15,500 out the door ($14,500+tax+title+ registration), with 8 miles on the odometer. Buying a certified used will get you slightly longer warranty, but also higher interest rate. |

Yeah -- seeing that you can get brand new Si's at the dealer for $16,500, with no down payment and Honda's 1.9% financing it works out to a payment of 288.49 (60 months). Compare this to your used Si -- $15,500 at 5% interest will work out to a payment of 292.50. Even if you get it at $14,000, your payment would be $264.20. |

Have your lovely wife read through the hybrid thread. My take is that the green image is more image than green and that as good fuel economy can be had from the Hx. If the environment is the point, I'd say wait for another hybrid generation or two. |

Dealer: Brown Automotive of Charlottesville, VA. price: $14,600 transportation fee: $460.00 tax: $458.64 dealer business license: $30.58 processing fee for consumer services: $228.00 OTD $15,826 2.9 apr 2000 down I realize I paid a bit too much, but the originl sticker was $16,400, then marked down to $15,600. I was surprised by the $228 processing fee - never heard of it before. Also, the sales person never mentioned the cost of the extended warranty but merely mentioned the monthly payment of $266. It wasn't until the finance person tried to have me sign a $1650 4 year extended warranty that I balked. Final monthly payment ended up as $247. In general, I felt they were trying to push something on me without ever explaining things more thoroughly. If I had to do things again, I would go to another dealer. I did get a quote through the internet of $14,600 from another dealer, and it was only then that the charlottesville dealer went down to $14,600, but later added on transport and consumer fees as "required fees".
