2012 EX Sedan trade in for 2013 SI!?

[Dar-Dar]

I have yet to see any 2013 Si.

 

[VNPP]

I think about trading in all the time, but I'll try and stick it out. I love my LX since it's my first car, but I have some serious Si envy! But maybe one day Ill swap in a k24

 

[mclovin_FG4]

Nice! You went for it I still haven't had the opportunity to test drive one at my local dealer. Satisfied?

Yes in every way but the interior is what sent it home for me such better quality than the lx

Are you sure? The coupes look the same as a 2012!

I'm sure. I can tell by the wheels. Lol. I see at least 3 2012s around this train station by my house almost every day.

Hmmm...I didn't realize the wheels had changed.

 

[Dar-Dar]

It's the same style, but painted differently.

 

[mclovin_FG4]

Don't the coupes have the different tail lights????

Nope

 

[mclovin_FG4]

So the only changes to the coupe are the chrome pieces on interior and pandora? I thought they had the different tail lights

 

[webby]

More sound insulation, new crash beam, thicker glass, soft touch dash, interior trim updates, backup cam, tech updates for text/pandora..updated rims...

 

[mclovin_FG4]

Ehhh that's too much chrome for me anyway

Was your lx modded when you traded it in? If I do decide to trade it in, I know I'll be keep the suspensions mods to reuse them. What I'm not sure of, however, is whether I should keep the CAI and Catback or leave them installed. Which option would entitle me a higher trade-in value?

Deff keep your aftermarket parts they are not gonna give you a higher trade in value for them. Mine was still stock but if it would have had any mods I would have taken them off to put them towards the Si

Definitely put the stock parts back on. I work at a Honda dealership and mods usually reduce the value of the car or desirability for people to buy it. Keep the parts and re-use the ones that will work on your Si and then sell the rest on here or wherever. At the place you are at with your $10,000 balance on your loan, you will most likely have a bit of equity and you can use that toward the loan on the new one. The Si is definitely worth it. I bought an EX 2012 first and then got an Si the year after, but kept the EX for my fiancé to use. The Si puts a smile on my face every day and is totally worth the extra money on Insurance and gas. If you're going for the coupe I would urge you towards the sedan since it looks way cooler than my sedan and has all of the goodies that Webby talked about. Well worth it.

Also they have 0.9% financing for up to 36 months and 1.9% for up to 60 month financing! That is impressive for the newest Civics out there. Honda is usually a bit more stingy.

Congrats!

I have been in contact my local Honda and apparently there aren't any '13 Si Sedans in the Dyno Blue with the navigation available within the entire state of California?!! They only have a black coupe w/o navigation. The second nearest has a Si Sedan in black w/o navigation, also.

Do they have any synonymous blue sedans period? Because you can get them to install it I think. And if not cant you just order one since its the current model year?

Auto correct fail!! Dyno blue. Damn tapatalk

I have a civic sedan with a few mods. I would like to know whether or not it would be a good decision to trade it in for a '13 SI. My mother bought herself the '12 EX and within a few days decided to pass down the car to me (along with the payments.) I have been trying to make the car more exciting for me, after all I am a 21 year old! I have added a cat back exhaust, cai, coilovers, rear sway bar and camber arms. I have recently purchased a TBS in hopes of adding any little extra performance that I can but still don't feel 100% satisfied. I've had it for a little under a year and have roughly 6k miles on it. I am still paying it off and have about $10k to go. I'm a full time employee / student. I really want an SI but every time I hop in my car I change my mind. Help!?

Yep, us old timers don't need exciting cars. Why back in my day, 8 track was cool.

Seriously, congratulations and enjoy your Si.
