If you're trying to save money, it's probably not a good idea to add mods. Anyways, I have 55000 miles on the odometer and the worst problem I've faced is the rattling. It doesn't rattle all the time though, just over uneven pavement.

So after 55K miles, I've gone through the usual 15/30K maintenance, 5K oil changes, one cracked windshield from rocks, one set of tires, and one set of front brake pads. I think that's pretty good.

 

I think that's pretty good also.

 

I have plenty of money to spend, I just don't want to go crazy. I am not picking the tC cause I am on a tight budget or anything. I just figure why spend 300 bucks a month on a car payment for an rsx if I can do like 200 or less for a tC.

 

so you are trading in your accord?

with my down payment and trade in, I only financed 8 grand through scion at 6.4% for 3 years. My payments are $223.25/month.

 

Yeah, I'm gonna trade the accord, or sell it privately and use the cash to buy the tC. I will also put down a big downpayment. I would rather pay a little bit higher of payments and get it paid off fast (like 3 years). I also hope that the APR drops before spring since it is like 7% right now.

 

I'm sure you can find something better. Credit Union? I was kinda put on the spot with finance since I bought the car unexpectedly and didn't do any research.
