I’ve bought two cars recently from out of state (Alabama). It’s slightly more of a headache but not really a big deal.
True: You pay taxes on where the car will be titled and registered not where you bought it from.
In my experience the paperwork takes longer. Took almost 2 months to get my...
I have the red interior in my ASpec Tech. When I first started researching the car I was like “I don’t know about this” but the more I saw it the more I thought it makes this car unique and special. Gives it a sporty unique feel.
Of course mine is ultimately going to a teenager later this year so…
I have a 2021 Chevy Tahoe as my daily. It’s just so convenient and nice with a family of 5 despite me always being more of “a car guy”.
The Integra (ASpec not ITS) has been awesome so far to drive for fun as it’s going to my teenager. In a perfect world I’d have both an ITS and Tahoe but well...
Well despite the concerns on the 1.5 turbo, I've ID'd a pretty good deal on a '23 Integra. Should I pay $2,500 to have it "Acura Certified CPO"? Seems like essentially I'd be just paying to extend the warranty from 60k to 100k?
Thanks for the input! I don’t disagree whatsoever. When I started looking at Civic Sports in hatchback I was surprised how much they held value. In fact, used ones were sometimes more than new ones (I guess they were hard to find for a while?). I do NOT like the last body style (2021 and older)...
In theory, I’d love him to learn how to work on the vehicle. Realistically he plays 2 high school sports that takes up 90% of his/our time so I’m looking for max reliability and longevity with minimal disruptions and just reach him to watch for proper regular maintenance. I like the idea of the...
That and also the thought if I buy him a newer used car I can be done with it (big if assuming it’s not in accident) but get him through college and still be in good shape to get him started. As opposed to getting him something older and he needs a car in or right after college potentially…
Honestly that is the main reason and not sure it’s a good one but I do think if it. I’ve yet to see an Integra here in my smaller college town. Civics are everywhere. I just can’t separate the “buying for a 16 YO” vs buying for me! We first set budget (based on nothing but just picking a number)...
Thanks for the replies. Yeah my oldest son learned and first drove my 12 year old truck that I passed down. I thought; perfect teenage car to get banged up. Until he backed into a car because he just didn’t see it.
Lesson learned? Sure. Damage to truck? Not too bad. Damage to other car? Yes...
My first car was a used red 1989 Acura Integra coupe (in 1992). Loved it.
Fast forward 20 years and it’s back and I now have a teenager that needs a car. He’s into sporty looking sedans and not 4Runners and trucks like most of the teenage boys.
Question is thoughts on a used 2023 Integra vs a...
