BTW Nice purchase ERTW........

exactly, this board is awesome for civic support, but it is also amazing for other things. I really like my civic, it was one of the best purchases and experiences, but soon enough i will have to put money into it on regular maintenane (it is almost 8 years old now), and it makes more sense to upgrade. I am sure there are others facing the same dillema.. i;m just sharing mine with you

I will keep that in mind and never tell my wife! The civic is actually the secondary car, the van is our primary. When the lease is up, we want to buy a car out right, and she wants an SUV
Since seeing what I have done with my car, I really can't say no.
:cry:

a g35 infiniti coupe would cost me 200 dollars less then my civic type r on insurance per month.
thats SHOCKING.
but i knew it would always be cheaper because less theft rate and less of these cars available to the public so the people driving these cars will be of more upscale people. but i never knew it would be that much difference.

What I like about BMW preowned is that you can find lots of them for sale. I guess there are lots of rich people who change cars all the time and that's why there are so many available.
Anyway, congrats on your purchase.

Don't be silly with your money. Why blow 20 grand on a depreciating asset when instead you could take that same twenty grand and make 20% plus on the market this year like everyone else has been doin. Search the benefits of compounding interest, save a nice car for the days when you can afford it after more important obligations have been taken care of (any debts, buying a house etc.)

Some of us have already taken care of the debts, house and all that other stuff so getting a luxury car might just be the next step.
Even though the APR is pretty low I am still thinking twice about BMW, and that's only b/c of their poor reliability.
