i agree... if you like integras then go for it! why would you go for something else and risk being disapointed... try to get him to lower the price a bit

i bought my current teg 2.5 years ago, and put 70000 miles on it, and it held up pretty decently. i need something dependable, and i like the integra, small, decently quick, decent power, and nice commodites (didnt spell that right i think). i know its not my only choice, but i like it for its affordabilty.

when haggling with the dealer play hardball. ask the dealer what the asking price is to see what he says. then make your offer and make it below what you would actually pay. they'll usually come down a bit and expect you to come up on your offer. start at like $6000 and work your way up. they probably gave ~$4000 on the trade in in the first place. if he gets to a point where he won't budge, basically say no deal and start to leave. the dealer will usually try to stop you or call you within a few hours. tell them if you pay any more than $6500 for the car you'll feel like you're getting screwed. point out every flaw you see in the car no matter how minor. that's a good bargaining tool.

thanks for the tip. i will check it out on monday, so ill make sure i will point out every problem with the car when i check it. hopefully, if all works out, i can get it for about 6500, and hopefully they will take my car for a trade. hope. thanks

just stick to your guns and you'll be fine mang. also, another thing you may want to do is go over to the dealership on a sunday or after hours and check out the car from the outside and take notes. on sunday or after hours there are no dealers to try to pressure you into buying.

I was gonna say that. It'd be a nice upgrade from your current car as opposed to a replacement. I'd even rather have the GS-R a little older with higher mileage.
