How does this sound?

[EFStali]

Alright me and my friend were gonna go swimming today, drove by a car dealer shit saw a 90 hatchback marked for 2395. On the way back I stoped by and took a look at it, it was a 1990 Honda Hatchback DX, 5spd tranny looks like it was keyed once on the right rear panel, and some rust on the left rear panel, went in and asked the guy if he would do trades for the cars, he said yea and he would be able to give me 800 bucks for my car. The DX had about 109,850 miles on it..does this sound like a good plan?

and plus, I tryed talking to my rents about it..but there hard to convince when it comes to cars..any help on that?

seems a bit expensive for the DX hatch. Try to talk him down a little but the rest is opinion. I would do it because i love the hatchbacks. Your getting the same motor with probably less miles on it and a different body style, if you like it a lot then go for it, its all up to you in the end.

adam i hope you get that hatch!!!! i just want you to stay in the 4th gen family, and get rid of that auto anyhow find out the blue book price which is definitely not 2395 and go to him and tell him you want this car but you know how much its worth and he will go down lower. good luck

[EFStali]

thanks, i want this hatch so bad..but the only thing stoping me right now is my parents..what should i do?

[XxLuckyLisaxX]

how old are you?

tell them you will pay them back try to get him down to 1800 and then you only owe them 1000

[EFStali]

im only 17

but my mom was saying how oh you liked your car when you got it..so its not the money that im worried about..its just my parents

woah, I thought that was directed at me cuz my name is adam too. Just a bit confused for a second

If i can remember the blue book price on the car is only about 2100 or 2200, so you should actually be able to talk him down to about 1850 cause of the rust and the key mark. I got mine from a dealer ship, , A 1990 hatchback with 125000 miles on it, and was in prety much perfect condition. He was askin 1900 for it, but i got him talked down to 1450. So in my opinion if you can talk him down some you should jump on the chance

[EFStali]

and what is the kelly blue book price on my car? also do you think if i would get rid of the hood pins, and get new interior pieces that i would get a little more?

[CivicWarrior]

tell ur parents ull pay em back and jus move out coincidently b4 u get the chance

[EFStali]

so would that sound like a good deal. trading my car for the hatchback, and me getting 800 bucks from the dealership? And plus I took out a loan from the bank for my sedan so i still have about a year to pay off yet, so if I would get this hatchback, would I have to pay off the rest of the money, or would I just continue paying it regular?

[GTA]

sounds like a good deal. Get the hatch, put the $800 towards what you still owe the bank on your 4 door and keep paying that off.

If you already have any amount of debt to a bank, or even your parents, just hold on to the car you have now until you have all your bills paid off... and after that's done you can sell your car out right and get more then the $800 a dealership would give you. Only at that point would I consider looking around at other cars though.
