Well. Got my full report on that 6 speed.

My current car: 02 i4 coupe, automatic. 125,xxx Carfax, one minor front end collision (wasn't me). Trade in book: 3,200. After selling current mods: +~1000

The other one: 03 v6 coupe, 6 speed manual. 129,xxx Carfax: 100% clean. Car is fully loaded, seat heaters and everything. Trade in book: 6,000 after titles.

I get car for book value. My other option is to sell my car privately for 4000-5000 and cover the rest. Also add in the around 1000 for selling my current stuff, and I can easily afford the car. I could trade in mine and get this other accord easily by the end of tomorrow, but I do not want to spend that difference. I'm willing to sell my car privately, but I would need a buyer and the 6 speed could be gone by then. Also, im not 18, so the title would be in my fathers name. I want this car. I really really want it. But is it really a good idea at this point in time, that's up in the air.

It's definitely doable, on the upside. If I could find a private buyer, this wouldn't even be a problem. But what if I put it up for sale, someone buys the accord, and then someone buys my car. Cause then, wtf! What would I do haha im only able to get nice cars from one dealership obviously.

Although I never asked if the car can be pushed to the side while I sell mine. Imma see if that's an option, probably not though. As its still a business that isn't really there to cater to me.

This is really stressing me out for some reason haha

Put your car up for private sale now, get your father to pay for the new accord now and once you've sold your mods and car you can pay it to your father..
That is if your dad agrees to that, haha.

I already asked that. He said, "are you crazy? **** that!"

And to cover the difference I would need to withdraw from my savings and, I need that money for college haha

Maybe one of you can buy my car until I find another buyer. Anyone? Jeff? :deal:

Today I didn't get my Progress RSB installed. Fawking end links wouldn't break loose. Why is the damn nut on the inside of the Moogs not wider? I had a 5/8 socket wrench on the outside and a 9/16 wrench on the inside. And soaked that **** in PB. Open to tips.

Oh and on the way home I passed a guy going slow as **** and he completely flipped out, he cruised beside me and was shouting obscenities and calling me every name under the sun. Luckily I had the soothing voice of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac to keep me from doing anything to escalate the situation. I didn't even look at the guy, kept cruising with him beside me losing his ****. People are fawking nuts.

Spend the difference, son. It's a much better car.

Pretty much all that.

You couldn't get moogs undone? interesting, I don't find them difficult to undo, did you use a breaker bar or a steel pipe?

Its the OEM endlinks that drive me insane, I chopped those stupid things up and threw them away.
