Need Advice "thinking of buying Euro"

Hi guys,

Im new here, im been a fan of the euro since it came out but didnt buy it because of the price.

Instead i ended buying a Vectra CDXI V6 with all the bells and whistle, mind you i bought this second hand at the auctions and for a really cheap price.
The thing is the kms are starting to climb and value decreasing and im now looking at the Euro...

The problem i have is im now used to the bells and wistles eg. leather seats and heated seats.

What i was wondering do you know if the Honda dealers would add leather option on the base Euro if requested? I think the Luxury version is way out of my budget and some dealers are offering driveway deals on the base model.

Let me know your thoughts or experience with honda dealers.

cheers

hi bruster, welcome to the forums
the euro is a top car!
not 100% sure if honda would put in the leather goods for u but if they did, they will charge you an arm and a leg. lol

Bruster, welcome!

You should able to get low Kay Luxury Euro at the price of the new base Euro.

it's got all bells and wistles that you need

the best thing is to just go to different dealers...suss it out...talk to them about things...and see whats available...that way you can then determine if they have everything you want within your budget

Your worried about depreciation and yet you want to spend $$$ on leather interior, thats hardly gonna be a worthwhile investment. I got the standard because your right, the luxury price isnt good value. Personally I think leather is a bitch to keep clean newayz. As for heated seats, I mean come on. Who gets into a car and goes "Ohh man this seat is cold!!" I think the dual climate control in the standard more than compensates for this. If your cold, wear a jumper :P

LOL!! I like your thinking

No they wont add leather afterwards primairly because the seats have side airbags installed.

As for nEUROtic comments about the luxury not being "good Value" i dont think so buddy....

Xenon headlights with washers
Curtain airbags
fog lights
17 inch wheels
sunroof
heated electric leather seats
Rain sensing wipers

more than worth the extra $$$ i think. if you want a luxury car you buy the luxury model, if you cant afford the extra $$$ you buy the standard, its that simple.

The Xenon lights and extra airbags in my opinion are reason enough.

Yes, Extra airbags are the reason I opted for Luxury.

Do u seriously need 6 air bags? 10 years ago we had none.
Headlights could be fitted aftermarket
Fog lights are an accesory
Mags can be aftermarket
Sunroof admittedly is cool
Heated seats, nuff said
Rain sensing wipers? Yeh that wiper arm is notoriously hard to reach, how about turn sensing indicators.

In 2 years the resale on luxury and standards wont be seperated by the price u spent between them.

It isn't always whether you can "afford" the luxury. I had the money for the lux but decided to go standard. You get 99% of the car for $6000 less. The lux is good value but the difference needs to be justified - I would prefer to spend $6000 on a home theatre (projector, surround, etc).

The cars drive the same and the base has a good level of creature comforts.

It is all relative to what your needs are. The lux is a better buy now you get 17" rims.

And since I work in Home Theatre, and recently purchased the above items, I agree with yfin :)
