I'm in love with the new Boss 302 for 2013. I am ready to put a down payment on one and trade in my 2010 4-dr Si for one. The Si is a great AutoX car, great for driving around everyday, very comfortable, and it has done very well at the track days I've got too. I just miss having torque and rwd on a daily basis. AmIcrazy?
Yes. Aren't you about to join up? While there are a shocking amount of Airmen with nice cars, I'm not sure how they pay for them...
If I didn't have a collection of the weird and strange, I am thinking I would do that as well, so if you are mad, I am also.
You're not crazy for falling in love with another car, but you are crazy for thinking about trading in a year old car.
whats the value on your si?
private sale would most likely get you a better return on the Honda, but you're still gonna take a hit. Are you ready for the extra gas and insurance the Mustang will require?
Do it! Flog the 302 and then report back!!
Yes, you are crazy.
But no more so than anyone else around here. A Boss is on my list, once it depreciates enough, or I win the lotto, or my kids finish college...
I dunno, the 1-year-old car thing here might work in Mr. Dirty's favor. The "new" Civic has been pretty universally decried as being not as good as the last-gen (which is what Birdman owns), so his may actually be worth more now than he paid for it.
In reply to Javelin:
I've seen year old Civic Sis sitting on the used lot for as much as brand new ones. Now I know why.

Used cars are hot and hard to find right now because of the death of leasing a few years ago + domestic dealers that became used cars stores after getting the axe + general car sales being down. The best guess is 2012 will be a good time to trade in your car, 2013 will be the start of a downward trend because of the return of leasing and car sales rebounding. You might be able to make this work.
