If you don't mind sharing, what did you pay for your new '05 with the $5xx destination charge?
The dealer quoted me 31334 before taxes & tags. I think the total was 32500 or so (VA sales tax was almost 1000). I probably could have gotten it for less, but I've waited to get the car for a while and didn't want to haggle. I was happy that they didn't try to hide any weird fees or charges into the sale.

I e-haggled suprisingly easily. I just told the guy I know I can get it for below invoice fairly easily. He said that was fine and to stop by for a test drive and to work out the financing. But they won't give me squat for my trade-in right now so I'm going to sell my car first so I can have a decent chunk for the down payment.

Mooch. Always wanting to pay nothing but always wanting the most for the trade. Step up, be a man, pay man payments. Have fun with the car.

Haha, yes yes. But hey, I'm only 22, just graduated college and on my first real job. My civic blue books for around 3k$ but they only offered 500$, that's a pretty big hit to just suck it up and make the payments.

But yes, it's only a matter of weeks now...

I feel for you SioPao, and I wish you best of luck. I hope the joy of ownership compensates for the stress of paying for it.

So was the CC box deleted by way of the DBW system or has it been relocated to just behind the shock tower on the drivers side?



It has also been pointed out that the Throttle Body is a different design and is lacking many of the coolant hoses on it.

in my opinion, the wheels are not that bad, but the seats are pretty... common looking, but everything else i dont mind really.

The electronic module in place of the previous cable actuated throttle body. It's electonic so the computer can close the throttle body as needed for the vehicle stability assist.
