i paid a little over $24,ooo for my 03 and I luv it. I couldn't afford the extra money per month to get a new one and it only had10,000 miles on it. I also got a full warranty in writing stating as long as I don't open the motor up any bolt-on aftermarket mod will not void the warrranty which is good up to 100,000 miles. So I don't think its a bad deal since I can mod the car and not have to worry about it getting voided due to aftermarket part use. Yes I know about the magnussen warranty act but honda still voided the warranty on my tranny and I tried using the steps sema advises doing to get the warranty honored. I got as far as consumer protection agency(sided with honda) but by then I had a severe third gear pop out and no fifth gear so I had to just give up and swap another tranny in there. Thats why when they offered this warranty @ the dealership where I got my evo I got it in writing about the use of aftermarket parts not voiding my warranty. And its not a mitsu warranty, I got it @ a ford\subura dealership. So with the warranty and 2 year free oil changes I don't think I did to bad.

Yep. Thanks, Warrtalon.

I bought my 05 sold as new but had 300 miles because the dealer took it to a car show for 27k in Oct 05. I should've bought it when the 0% thing was going on but didn't for some stupid reason. I still thought it was a good deal but it would've been sweeter if I had the 0% financing but instead I got it for 27 minus 7k for my 00 civic si with 76k miles on it with 6% financing. Overall not a bad deal considering what you're being offered for an 03 with some miles on it.

Yes, a big difference with the front LSD. A lot less understeer.

Personally, I don't like ACD or any other electronic driving aids for that matter. However, I can see that it does make some sense to have it when braking if your car has ABS (my 04 RS does not).

Here's what edmunds says the dealer has to offer.
