Default Going from a TransAm to a 2000 AV6 Coupe..pros cons?

Hey everyone..
I need some reinforcing here.. First of all, i sold my 98 TA a couple of weeks ago, and have been shopping for a car... i wanted something more practical.. So i test drove this 2000 AV6 Coupe i found, red, leather, sunroof, changer,25K miles pretty sweet, and it didnt feel slow to me.. (you think it would coming fromt he LS1 powered TA)... it had plent of pick up and rode really firm..

I also found a 2002 WS6 peweter Transam... its just well, Sick.. M6, 13K miles.. its brand new.. the guy only wants $24,000- bank pay off...the Accord is $17,000. Now i know its compaign two differet things.. and i know ill be saving alot of money with the accord..the payments are the same.. 6 year WS6- $330mo (19K loan) 5 year ACCOrd, 5.5% hONDA FINANCED,$305mo.. The accord is Honda certified too..100K mile...
Id really bust out the savings with the WS6, like $5500 down... Im only putting down $2500 on the accord.

I DUnno what to do..

It's just a matter of what you really want. They are two pretty different cars. Most everyone on here is going to say get the Honda (including me) because we already have Accords and this is an Accord board.

1. Its a Honda
2. You wont need to worry if your shet is going to break down
3. Save on gas and insurance
4. the Honda is way more practical than the TA
5. as long as you take care of your Accord, your Accord will take care of you.
