Many people at work has also said that. Maybe a lease even.. There's a deal on the Accord coupe.. (lease for $199 a month .. about $2500? due at signing. ) and I"m sure there will be more deals in the next couple of months for all sorts of cars. They just introduced the new Altima, and I don't see anything wrong with getting the older model (i.e. 2006).

As for my clutch, the mileage had to do a good bit. Plus the pedal is very stiff. Sometimes.. but only sometimes does the clutch feel like it's slipping. Kinda of like a vibration without movement, during 1st gear engagement.

Thats a indication of the clutch going out. Check eBay for OEM Sachs clutch kit before anywhere else. $283 at your door step.

Kinda thinking of a camry now. $1100 due at time of lease, about $380 a month for a V6 LE. Not bad.. but damn... If i were to keep the porsche , then I can refinance, and pay around $250 for it.. .....

I was wrong about the Accord price. It's

$249.00 per month for 36 months. $1,899.00 total due at signing for a V6.
$239.00 per month for 36 months. $1,499.00 total due at signing for a coupe 4cyl.
