Because I'm insane and love to haggle with car dealerships I checked what I could get from a dealership before they tell me to just leave.
For a 2020 Honda Civic Hatchback which is nicer than mine (I know the title of the thread
) They would give me 15,150 for my car and 23500 for their car. That's a really good deal, but something told me to just slow my roll and think about it a bit. That was the price where they said take it or leave it. They had enough of me.
It didn't help their case that they tried to start by offering 12,000 for my car. That's super slimy and lame.
On the plus side it has much better safety features (Lane departure, front car sensing crap...) And a couple of other nice features it being a hatch we can buy some larger stuff. I like the styling of the hatch and it's the same awesome blue that my current car is. My car is going to need new brakes soon and the warranty expires in a couple of months. And this hasn't been my best car with the AC problems...
Downsides....I'm going to have this one paid off in 2.5 years... I don't love constantly owing on cars... Sigh... Need to think about it some more. Without dropping a dime I would have had a payment within 30 bucks of my current car. Wouldn't have to worry about repairs for another 3 years... And it's much more useful. Having two regular sedans is kind of annoying. Last but not least my daughter starts driving in 3 years. The hatch with the extra safety features is pretty nice to have...
