Holy crap dude that's an awesome deal. Whereabouts in NY are you? Do they have any coupes? I'm in NJ and it may be worth the trip!

And just to add, the performance of these other vehicles is very enticing, but from what I've read they depreciate like nobody's business. The Si seems to have better resale value. And, to be honest, I'm scared to death of actually owning a turbocharged car. If something even happened to that turbo, it's very expensive to fix. Leasing one doesn't bother me since it goes back but reliability plays a part in my purchase as well. Thanks for the feedback guys.
