So yesterday I traded in the Jetta on a brand new car. They gave me **$4,000** trade in on my Jetta. I picked up a 2008 Habanero (sp?) Red 4 door Civic si. I’ve been absolutely in love with this car since they came out with a 4 door one. I got quite a steal on the car too as it being the end of their fiscal year. I’m at my office now but pics will definitely be up sometime later today or tonight. ---

Congrats! I’m a big fan of the new SI :banana Maybe habanero red refers to it as a hot red ![http://www.acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif](http://www.acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/shrug.gif) ---

That red is pretty nice. JVG’s Si was that color but a coupe. He had the Work Emotion KAI’s on it in bronze and it looked very nice. ---

You’ve made a very good choice on the car, and sounds like it was even a good financial decision. Enjoy, it’s a lot of car for the money. Where did you pick it up btw? Leaving it stock or just basic wheels and drop? ---

I picked it up at Keeler, I called around to a few of the other dealerships in the area and no one had a 4 door SI in stock. For right now i’m probably just going to leave it stock, I purchased a 100kmi warranty on it so I don’t want to start messing around with the car and voiding warranties on it. ---

New wheels shouldn’t void any warranties. And the only thing a new suspension shoud void the warranty is on… is stock suspension, which you didn’t want to begin with. But in the end, sometimes it’s not worth the risk.
