  1. Resale value right? You mean like what all the commercials are saying
    right now...ah such cows follow the herd. My del sol isnt worth shit
    right now and its only got 60k miles on it. Honda is overrated

  2. we all know what a great investment a car is these days. Its better than
    Gold!! I mean if i bought an Si right now. It would be worth 2 times as
    much , soon as I drive it off the lot. YAY advertising!!

    Learn to quote, trollboy...

    I said:

    Nice looking car, and good numbers, but you'd have to be a fucking loon to
    buy a Chrysler product of any kind.  My last 3 Dodges went through a total
    of 5 trannys and 2 engines, with a total of about 350,000 miles between
    them (only one made it over 100K before I finally got smart and ditched
    it).

    I'll stick with the Si.  In 5 years, the car will still run, and the resale
    value will be leagues beyond that of the Caliber...

    And I meant every word of it. Honda's resale values are the highest on the
    market. Your del sol isn't worth shit because you treated it like shit.
    They are not nearly as desirable as other Hondas, but they still get a
    decent price around here...

    If you bought an Si and drove it off the lot for $22,000.00 in the US it
    would be worth about $19,000.00 but not less than that. I can tell you that
    I owned American cars and so did my family, but I can also tell you that NO
    one in my family owns american cars anymore. We all drive Honda, Nissan and
    Hyundai now...we've learned our lesson!

  8. Hey Tomboy ..so you say your family all drives foreign cars including
    hyundai? Did you know that the 'world engine' was jointly manufactured
    by Hyundai for the upcoming DODGE CALIBER SRT-4?? In fact it was
    designed by 3 auto makers Mitsubishi/Chrysler & Hyundai.

    Probably more than that. My Si is almost a year old now, looks like the day
    I drove it off the lot, has 17k on it. Private party value is 18,800.
    Trade Value is 17,502.

    As has been said repeatedly, Hondas retain their value better than ANY other
    brand. And there is a reason. People know that a Honda is reliable. They
    do not give that trust to any of the American cars anymore, simply because
    the American companies violated that trust.

    What does that have to do with anything?

    They make nice looking cars with all kinds of features. None of them are
    worth shit when the transmission falls apart at 40k, or the engine blows at
    90k.

    I would buy nothing but Chrysler products if they maintained their style and
    physical design, but also incorporated Honda's and Toyota's reliability
    standards...

    A car that won't move from the driveway holds little value to me...
