merely giving you an opinion from somebody who works on them every single day. Hey, like you said it's your money. You don't have to be a dick head though about people trying to be real with you about what you are buying. You started a thread looking for input, it may not have been your intention to get input on the actual car but more the price and thats fine. I am merely trying to steer you clear from a vehicle that I think isn't worth 15k. 15k is a nice chunk of change and I would personally hate to see you waste it on a base RSX no matter what kind of shape it is in. Sorry from now on, I will just say HOLY SHIT GREAT BUY OFFER THEM TWICE THAT MUCH WOOOOOOT!
