You're right. Forgot about that. :doh: I haven't financed a car for a while. For my last three vehicles I've paid cash or taken out 0-1% interest cash advance offers from the CC for cars then paid it back in the 6-9 months they offer. Still, of the three, go with the accord. Gutless, but with the 5-speed it isn't so bad.

And a side note: you're getting ripped off on insurance. What company do you use?
I thought Yamaha just assembled the engine, but the parts were produced in Canada (yes, a boat ride there and back b/c they couldn't assemble them here:ugh
Why did I post that? Iunno

and if you do get rid of the 'lude, I'd go w/ the Accord or the SHO myself. I've never driven an SHO, but... Conan has one, so it can't be that bad :hsugh:

bah, veen.. I live in Baden, any clue where that is? Where are you guys?

On topic.. Skellz and I were talkin and his Accord came up. If he decided not to sell I'd either take the Accord or the SHO. I looked at the SHO Saturday evening and its honestly in very decent condition given the circumstances. Only thing that worrys me is the timing belt but thats easy to get to..

Just make sure the sale falls through on your prelude first ...

Right. I'm basically just scouting out cars that way I have something to go to when the Prelude sells.. if it sells.

Also today I went and reapplied at one of my old jobs for a part timer on top of my full time, should be starting back there soon in the evenings, the SM said he just needs approval from the DM.
