Default SO close to trading my TC in for a 2006 TSX 6spd w/ Navi

Sup guys. I should make more effort to post here more often. Anyways, I got a 2007 SW TC auto. I like my car alot. Peppy (for an auto) clean (i wash like ever 48 hours) and I like the fuel economy and value. Lately, I've been eyeing Acura TSXs. Guess I miss driving a manual and I miss my old VTEC from my H22A accord prior.

Well long story short, freaking dealer says Honda Financial approved me, but wants me to have a $650 a month payment!!! HELL. That dont even include insurance and premium gas. I only pay $350 a month for my tc. Guess I'll keep my G-ride. Get some new suspension and 19s hyperblack wheels and a full lip kit next month with the money I'm saving by not trading it yet. Maybe year year, I'll have my younger cousin take over payments. Until then, I'm rolling clean with my tc.

For $650 a month, I rather get a Range Rover Sport.

Holy cow $650 a month for a car? I am able to get approved for a 6.7L Dodge Diesel for a lesser payment, but wouldn't fix my commute costing so much in gas.

That's a ridiculous amount of $$ for a TSX just stick with the tC, get the most out of it and if you still stay bored after a couple of mods then look into a better 6 spd!

They told me because I was late once with my Toyota payment, (New Years Day, I admit I forget, but paid it on 01.02.0 thats why my payment is so high/

Man, $650 a month for 60 months, thats paying $39Gs for a car that I supposely bought for $24K. No thanks.

if you miss manual so much trade in your tC for a manual for much less...

that'd seem like a waste of money though..

That's funny, I started spending a boat-load of money on my tC after losing an eBay auction for a '96 240sx with 26k miles on it.
I was so devastated that I bought rims, springs, and I haven't stopped yet (TRD exhaust on the way).

I love the TSX (until the most recent redesign) but $650 is outrageous. They do hold their value better than just about any other car though.
