Can any of you guys tell me what my situation needs to be like with my 07 FG2 in order to trade it in for maybe another color FG2?. Where should I stand with my current FG2 in condition or financial stuff in order to trade it in for a RR FG2?.

I owe 21K on it right now and i've had it for 15 months or so. It has 8,800 miles on it. What else....?

You're pretty much facked because they won't give you enough to cover what you owe. You're going to end up upside down fo sho. Best bet would be to pay down your principal some more & gain alittle equity so yuo don't end up in that situation.

Glad to help out buddy. I thought I told you about the two top nuts being missing when I was @ your house to drop off the wheels.

We didn't finish with Angel's car until about 10PM.

Now about my shiftknob.

[spoonEp]

it works really good

[Johnold]

aww I FAIL!. I knew this in the back of my head.

How low do you think?. and how much are the 08's going for now at sticker price?.

[Johnold]

If I could trade it in for an S2K I would. I don't think I can afford it...

[02civicsi]

Yeah I wasn't even thinking straight when I saw it in your car. I had Buddy Club on the brain.

There going to fack you hard for that ding on your trunk.

Sh#t if you think you're going to end up upside down on a '08 FG2 then you'll be probably twice as deep in the hole on an AP2.

The '08's are probably almost $22k after the desination charge is added.

[spoonEp]

haha ill get it back to you in one peice

Sh#t if you think you're going to end up upside down on a '08 FG2 then you'll be just probably twice as deep in the hole on an AP2.

You think they'll mess with me on that trunk issue?. what about with the magnet covering it up?. you think they'll take it off?. LOL. I can't believe I just asked that.

What If I fix the chip on the trunk and go all detail guru on it and make it 90% less visible?.

[spoonEp]

touch up paint

[Johnold]

Yeah, I plan on taking care of those 2 chips on my car anyways. I just want a different color FG. It's not like I'm DYING to get rid of my black one. I was planning on fixing the trunk chip anyways.

I did read your post.
Did you read mine? ;D

I don't think the magnet coverup will work. They will try to fack you everyway possible because you're trying to trading in a car that they can flip pretty easily & get almost what a new one will cost. When I was shopping for my first Civic back in '98, I was looking for a 2yr old used one. They were only like 2k less than a new one.

Yes, just let me know when you want to come over to have those parts installed.

[Johnold]

Yeah you're right about them trying to fack me any way they can. Touch up paint will fix that chip but it won't be perfect. I'll get it so it bubbles over and leave it for about 1 month then i'll wetsand it with 1500 to 2000 gritt Sandpaper and then take my buffer to it to bring it back out and it should look pretty decent. I'll see what my feelings are in about another 2500 dollars lower on my car when it's that time. I'll most likely keep it. Just wanted to have some opinions. Knowing how to detail and fix or repair paint chips like I have is a craft worth knowing. We're all at one point or another going to have those type of chips. I mean, mine happen from a lawn crew (supposedly). who's to say that something like that can't simply happen to another 8thgen member or owner?. Shit happens mang.

If you can get that 99% fixed then you're the man.

[squidmaster]

Tuesday night?
Sounds like the best time for both of us
UNLESS
I sell the car today.

fingers X'ed!. I'm hoping the end result will be saticfactory. I wouldn't say 99% but maybe like 90 or 95%. You just need to take your time with repairs like this. The hard part is wetsanding but i'll be the most careful at that part of the repair. It's not something you can do in a matter of hours. This will take me almost a whole week to look good. But it will be strong again and will last the lifetime of the car and I won't have to have a magnet on it. LOL.
