LOL this is the most idiotic thing i've heard. I did buy it new. Mistake of my life lol. How is it a mistake? Tell that to the thousands of others who bought the car new.
$18000 for a Civic EX.
$18000 for a 2000 Volvo S70 T5 with better than average miles.
On your Civic, you've got a sunroof, ABS, alloys, keyless entry.
On the S70, you have double the Civic's horsepower, front side airbags, traction control, leather upholstery, heated seats, power memory front seats, a CD changer, headlight washers, dual-zone automatic climate control, ... a sunroof, ABS, alloys, and keyless entry. Not to mention the significant improvements in acceleration that come with the power, handling that come with the new price, comfort from the suspension and seating, and interior and cargo room. Hell, the only upside to the Civic is fuel economy.
I don't even care how much it depreciates. Remember: There's
ALWAYS a better used buy.

I find that an odd statement, as the last time I was at the service dept. at the local Nissan dealer, my car was repeatedly referred to as S14, both on parts, on the computer systems, and on literature regarding the cars serviced.
I don't buy it, but I'm more likely to buy it in Southern California, the Bay Area, and the Seattle Area.
