I wouldn't pay 19K+ for an EP3... I would rather have gotten a used RSX-S

The K20 in the EP3 is garbage... no power out of it really :hs:

I see EP3's in the local autotrader for around 13k. 19k is very steep considering the kbb value on a 2003 with 30k miles in excellent shape is around $14,700.

I thought you said you could take it back? And who buys a car without doing research.......

it was a 3 day or 250 miles on it... I drove the $hit out of it. And this is just a lesson well learned. A 19k dollar lesson.

hahaha you think that's bad?

Just bought an '02 RSX BASE with 55k last month and I'm paying 22k after all payments are done... sticker was 15... 280/month for 72 months...

I'd suggest making all payments early and trying to get it re-financed or trade it in within a year... Or else it will lose its value..

you live and learn mang... just enjoy it since you're "stuck with it"
