Trade cars with my bro?
 

My older brother recently got a 2005 Honda s2000 with about 30k miles on the clock its totally stock in the red color. Hes saying the car is too much for him to handle cause he went to it from an automatic altima and hes saying he has a hard time keeping it in a straight line in the wet and doesnt like the noise. He is willing to trade cars with me with an extra 10k on my side. Should I start savin up money or is he askin a touch much?? My car according to KBB is worth 6335 plus like 1000 for the work done so like 7500 or so. Help a homie out...

P.S. the car was rebuilt he got it at an auction but I dont know for how much. Has an R title brand

first, your car is worth at most 6k. aftermarket stuff doesn't add any value, in most cases it subtracts. you really need to find out what was damaged. i don't know about this state but some to get a rebuilt title the car has to be up to factory spec, so in some cases you can get a great deal on a great car.

i'd say go for it, an s2000 has way more potential than a 4 door d-series. i would be very careful, your civic has cloth interior and i believe the s2000 has leather, it's not very well known but i read somewere that denim jackets tend to be extra slick on leather so you might end up flying out of the car if you have the top down, just a heads up

ugh, i think the answer here is obvious....if u can afford the new insurance.

way to edit your post into being an ass lol
yea I gotta find out about that

if your bro doesn't have the nads for a stock s2k take it away from him, might as well be an uptrage for you, and WTF is a R title

if his driving record isn't FUBAR it shouldn't be a huge difference. I think he's like 18ish so he's going to get reemed on insurance for anything, at 17 my qoute for a 96 neon and a 00 mustang GT was only like a 5 dollar a month difference

not 100% sure about PA but "R" title in WA means rebuilt, meaning it had a salvage title but was rebuilt to factory spec

A car w/ 162 lbs ft of torque is too much to handle?..........mmmmkay.

R is reconstructed...we dont know what happened thought. Ive heard of cars that were hit and rebuilt to get it, or cars that were stolen and recovered to get it...cars that were flooded, etc.etc. we have NO history of this car prior to his purchase

A) He sucks at driving
B) He sucks at driving
C) Unless he recived the car with slicks it not going anywhere in the rain unless he makes it, which would mean he sucks at driving
D) Both A and C

but whatever, go for it. They are awesome cars (if this one is rebuilt right)

Well, I would trade your car for a scooter, so I would definitly say take the deal. But how is it you are going to be able to save $10k for that when you can't even afford a real exhaust?????

I was trying to be subtle in my post but I agree 100%.

Save your money – you already have a working car and there are cheaper ways to go fast. Insurance will be higher also. Hindsight is priceless and I blew allot of cash when I was younger. Ten grand is allot of doe and you can use that money for something else.

But of course, when I was 18 I definitely would’ve thrown 10K at a car… it’s too tempting when you’re young.

So was I… damn. lol

its not that i cant afford a real exhaust, but since it adds no power anyway whats the point...so i did a side exit exhaust just to be different

LOL. The hell with sugar coating...
This whole scenario seems like BS to me. Every time I turn around, I see some new and amazingly STUPID thread by cleanneon. I.E "I play lots of Forza 2 and I learned a lot so now I want to pro race."

:jawdrop::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

This car is a cake walk to drive in the rain and snow. Tell him to ****ing keep his foot off the gas.

PS- Buy mine. $17,500.

i find it funny that you all let him get you riled up...hahaha

cleaneon owns tst...lmao


id say do it if its feasable.

im not riled up...i already have my mind pretty much set this is just for fun..do you honestly think im going to let a bunch of strangers decide my life???

save your money, by the time you get all that loot, you'll find something else you want.

i was refering to people on tst getting bothered by stuff you post, not you getting riled up.
