Talking Buying a new car!

When I was 15 I decided that my first brand new car that I purchased on my own would be a 2003 Honda Accord.

One week to go and the completely brand new Accord will be in showrooms!!! I can hardly stand it. What if it's hideous??? I swear I'll be crying at the Honda dealer asking Why Why Why??? My backup car is the Civic but I really really want an Accord. Plus I think I'll lose it if I have to wait too long for the 2003 Civic.

My dad's all gung ho about me buying a new car too. But he says that I should at least look at four cars. For the last year I've been eliminating cars. So unless he means going to four different dealers, he is going to be disapointed.

Jetta-- cute. But can absoultely not stand the cowl lick antenae.

Acura RSX-- love it. But I want something more practical. And something that won't be as expensive to insure.

Altima-- nothing wrong with it. I just can't picture myself driving one.

Corolla-- that damn antenae again.

Camry-- I really like the new style. But, I just don't think anyone under 30 and single should own one.

Anything American-- yeah right! Nothing but crap in my experience. If my car wasn't an import there's no way it'd be still going. It's a '90 and runs perfectly!

=

What scares be about all this is the car payments. The idea of paying $300-$400 plus insurance every month scares me. But it also makes me grateful that I live at home rent free. I would never be able to afford a new car if I had to pay $600 rent plus utilities every month.

Just make sure it isn't a SUV!

Talking I want a new Honda, too!

Hey SoCalGirl!

First of all, aren't you living in San Diego? Lucky you--- you don't have to pay rent! That really helps.

I just went with my friend this past weekend; he bought a 2002 Civic. After looking at the vehicles in the showroom, I feel the need to get a brand new car. I have a 1991 Honda Accord right now, but it's seen better days. AC and powerlock doors don't work, 213K in mileage, stereo was stolen, etc. But, like you, I'm scared of the car payments too. I'll have to wait, but 2003 is the year I'm hoping to get a brand new car.

Hope you get the 2003 Accord!

IMO the 2003 Accord doesn't look as good as the previous generations. I prefer the 6th generation look of it. In 2003 it's made to sorta look like an American car.

sorry to hear your experiences with domestics were bad, however I think theyre better than imports. my dad drives a ford with over 200,000 miles on it, my moms buick had high milage and has only needed regular maintainence. my old firebird was a well built car and never had any problems...

Talking

Yup, I'm in San Diego. Too damn expensive to move out if you don't have to.

Panda,

Did you see the few available pictures online? I can't figure out what's going on with the trunk lid. It looks so small! I have always hated small trunk lids. That's part of the reason why I'm so worried about when the Accord is released.
