so i was at honda bloomfield today, and a sales rep named jason let me know that the CR they have in the show room in apex blue is down to 32k (saw i was in for an oil change on my 04 NFR). seems like a great deal on a limited production car, let alone how much i love them. though like many, i'm not a fan too much on the body kit, it is functional, and i like nearly all the upgrades from a base S. now i'm torn as to what to do. brand new CR vs sticking with my paid off 04.

what would u do?

 

grab the closest coin and flip it. Tails, you buy the CR

 

I personally would never buy the CR, simply because it has no softtop. I also couldn't do w/o the radio and a/c, unless it was a dedicated track car and then I'd get something else, a Lotus.

 

Eh Tell him you'll take it at invoice minus the $2500 which should put you at $31,266.

Yes I'm a cheap bastard

 

it's hard to get rid of a car that's paid for.

Personally I don't like the CR. If you want it, go for it. But I wouldn't give up a paid off car for a car loan.

 

Really depends on what you are going to use it for. If you don't plan to track/autox it, I think it's a waste of money...especially if you have a paid off S anyway. That being said, if something happened to my paid off S2k, the CR would be on my short list. I saw a beginner do surprisingly well in a bone stock cr. I've always said that the S doesn't need to be modded to be a capable race car. The CR, on the other hand, seems to give it that extra umph.

 

hmmmm very wise words...

thanx for the advice guys. looks like i'm sticking with my girl. she might be getting a wrinkle here and there, maybe even a gray hair... but i love her

 

It's really funny that you should say that because I drove by there on Wednesday early morning on my way up to Oakland County Circuit Court, and I noticed that those morons and Bloomfield Honda left that same Blue CR outside all night with it's top off and there was a ton of dew and moisture on all the cars because it was a chilly morning.

 

hey!
i have the CR
and i gotta say..
its really nice..
if you dont mind the stiff ride, i think its well worth the money
71.8 mph through slalom,
.99g on the 200ft skidpad
its better than most supercars!

 

most is a very bold statement
