hey everyone, just new on this thing,
seeing who's on here who might know a little something about finances. i used to have a civic coupe and the main ceo of enterprise rear-ended me and it was a four car train wreck. i was okay, and the guy in front of me who got hit had to get checked out by a chiopractor... anyways, the guy was cool and admitted fault and hit me with i think his company vehicle. everything was fine, we didn't even have to call the cops and he said he would pay for the damages. he did and i got a certified used car... an acura rsx 2006 model. i love my car. put a high wing spoiler, got a navigation system and black polised rims to match my nighthawk black pearl painted ride... BUT, i'm in a pickle and feel that as much as i love my car, i'm cool with any car cause it is actually just something that gets me from A to B like any other car out there. i currently owe 18,000 on my acura and have paid about 2 years on a 6-year contract with BofA and payments are about 463 a month. i'm thinking of getting a crv, a used one of course, cause they're good cars i hear and want something a little bigger since riding in my rsx it's always tight and compact as the car would seem i guess. my second choice of a car next to my rsx would have been a crv and now i'm looking at some one auto trader or car buying online and seeing what my options are. there's some around 2002 and 2003, even maybe a 2004 for about 9,000 to around 11,000 dollars. i'm figuring trading my car in or talking to the acura dealership (assuming not getting any kind of run-around since i'm asking whoever knows much about finances here)... that swapping for lets say a 2003 crv at payments of one-hundred something could be ideal. but i'm not sure what to do or choose. i know those with insurance (full coverage) and GAP if you're car's totalled the insurance will just pay the car off... but i'm wondering if since drv's are honda and honda's related to acura that maybe i could make arrangements somehow for a trade or something? anyone ever have a situation similar to mine? anyways, if you've read up to this point so far i appriciate your time to read about my questions with wondering what my options are with all of this. the rsx kicks ass and i love my ride but like i say it's only an A to B thing cause i really don't need all the bells and whistles i put into my car... just something more simple and perhaps more economical. thanks again.
