Talk to Kim Tornebeni at Honda of Joliet and tell her I sent you. Her husband Lou is the sales manager there and both are great people.

I've bought 3 cars there in a little over a year and they have been the absolute best to deal with. I canot say enough about how good a deal I've gotten on all 3 cars, and how well they have treated us. When I bought my S in July 03 (the first car we got there) Kim got me the best price out of about 30 dealers in a 3 state area that I checked with.

If you go there, ask Kim about her computer wallpaper. It's a real hoot.

On a scale of one to ten, I give them an 11

I was talking with Kim this evening about another matter and mentioned your post. She said to call her husband Lou at the same number; he will be in after 1:00 tomorrow, as he's the one that would evaluate a trade-in.

HTH...

Wow, I just am shocked that you would be willing to dump the 00 for virtually the same car.

I got in an 04 and said to myself?
Aside from aethetics what the hell is different.
You could easily do parts swaps to your car from the 04 to make it the same way for probably under 300$ Aside from the glass.

I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but the 00 just feels old to me in addition to the other things I have mentioned. My biggest complaint thus far with the 00 is there just isn't enough room. The 04 definitely addresses some of that.

The only thing they changed with the 04 to make more room are the door inserts panels.

That is it.

Someone can confirm bit it only added an inch of extra shoulder room.

In the end its his decision, hes driven it, and he likes it so whats your point. Im changing my 02 to an 04 simply cuz I want a newer car, thats it, and the other changes are just a bonus.
