Answer 1

It doesn't seem like money is a big deal to you seeing as you have gone through 49 cars in 6 years (looking at your previous question). The only reason I would stick with the civic as compared to the Cooper S is the roominess factor. I think you can take a lot more stuff with you in a civic than a Mini Cooper, plus I'm sure the civic is more comfortable than a Cooper (not as comfortable as an Accord, but larger than a Mini). Now if you don't have to take a lot of stuff with you and don't have to drag around a lot of people, that's a different story. It seems to me like you are happy with your civic, just stick with it. Like they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Answer 2

You have a great car in your hands. I dont recommend you changing the car at this point.

If you trade in that car too soon you will be in big debt. Once you removed that car from the parking lot, the value went down about 15-20% so you already owe more on it than you are financing unless you gave a steep down payment.

If you trade it in, they will only give you credit for what it's currently worth (which is less than what you owe) so you will lose out on a few grand. THEN you will remove the new car from the parking lot and lose out on more money since that one will go down in value another 15-20%.

Best move: Stay with the car until you've finished paying it off and THEN go buy a model that's one or two years old so you can get it for way cheaper than it was when the dealership made a fool out of someone else.

Second best move: Try to find someone that loves that car and have them take out a loan and re-finance the car under their name so it doesn't appear in your credit anymore and free yourself from it.

Answer 3

If I were you I'd ditch the Honda and get the Mini, after all BMW owns mini if Im not mistaken.. You sound like a women with great taste in automobiles, why you'd have gone to a Honda is beyond me... As for the comment about the person saying buy American because they are good cars ignore that statement, I dont know of many American models that will last to over 200,000 miles... Get the MINI you'll love it!

Answer 4

Keep the Civic for a year then off it goes

Answer 5

Stick with the civic

Answer 6

get a civic - not the cooper. Stop buying cars and get yourself some jewelry, or something that appreciates - like real estate!

Answer 7

Cars are not worth it. You should keep your car. Think about it to yourself, what is so good about having a good looking car? As long as it takes you places that you want to go, and isn't really unsafe, there is absolutely no point in getting an expensive car except feeding your own ego.

Answer 8

Ditch the Civic. It is ugly.

If your background information is truthful, you are obviously not worried about the financial loss.

Answer 10

Buy a nice new American car like a Ford or something and stop killing your own country's economy by supporting Asia's. American vehicles are built strong and to last and are much safer than any Honda.
