I would rather keep the SC than do the CFC program. What can I say I like my SC I just don't like payments

Did i mention you would be driving a honda? Have fun being embarrassed anytime someone(friends/co-workers/boss,random person) sees your car.
Really? I owned two pretty decent honda's (tastefully done) and I was never embarassed as much as I was proud. Compliments everywhere. All this honda talk is just pure monkey see monkey do.

Anyway, your gonna spend the same amount of money either way every month. You'll either be putting down payments towards something you don't own yet, but newer.. or adding a new part to a car you own, but not newer.

Either that or VERY superficial.

Back on topic....keep the SC. Unless you feel like you are ready for a newer car, then I would consider trading it in with the program.

Little tidbit, I sold my SC4 with 190k for ~$3500ish.

Geez.. lots of hate for Ryeno.. I pretty much agree with him on everything. No chance would I trade in my SC3 for ANYTHING right now, save for MAYBE a current gen IS or LS. I've got way too much car for way too little in the way of my SC and she's my child.

Why do you think their are soo few slrs? Because everyone that can afford that would rather get a cheep car thats cooler (e.g. Ferrari, Lamborghini) Or if you cant relate to that example. How about this. No one brags about paying over MSRP for a car.

So buying a cheep product for cheep, makes you cheep. Buying a good product for cheep makes you a smart shopper.
You must have some serious personal problems with how much you are concerned about being "cool."
