Default Hat Trick! And yet another break...

Finally picked up my new 02, not as great a thrill as the first cause i know the car now... But it does have little different things than my 01's, the gauge cluster has a different tone red, the console leather cover, all the console plastic looks a little rougher than the 01, the shifter seems to be a little taller(might just be the different knob) Clutch has a little better engagement. Suspension is firmer but cars does flex a little more, this combination somehow does make the car feel more stable at turns, i dont feel that bump and steer issue as much. My first engine was not strong from get go, second yes and so is this first dialed at 192whp second at 208rwhp and this one well we will se when the engine has some miles on it. Leather seems to be of better quality though, love the tweeter pods althought i might replace the tweeter itself. Well one thing that cant be left out of course is the rear glass window with defogger, makes a hell of a difference.

And Yet another break in, it all started with my (00gsr) (00R) (00R) (01S) (01S) (02S) well im more patient than ever now cause i know the car's limit so not as big of a deal except for the grin in my face when vtec kicks in. Thanks for reading...

Just wondering, how do you run the numbers and justify trading in a 1 year old car?

Well lets see, 01 plastic rear window was annoying as hell, replacement by honda would only be done once and its a 1500 job so the secong time comes out of pocket... i got 26k for my trade and got a 0 miles 02 on thursday for 29k , i had about 25k miles on my 01, so u ask me ... 3k to get rid of 25k miles the rear window as well as my tires where almost shot and getting a new one... well for 3k i said hell yeah! Not to mention the center console leather cover, the tweeters revised clutch tranny plus i had a rear factory spoiler and want a j's gt wing so now i got it with out spoiler.... my last car was at 7.9apr now this one is at an awesome 5.25apr do the math the discount from 32740 to 29 k makes up for the difference from 26k to the 29k and the apr adds another 2k in savings, so lets see i actually made money thanks for asking !!!
