Be sure to get the identical problematic description (the diagnosis do not have to be identical). This will aid in the case that it happens a couple more times...at which point you can fight a lemon.

If you were to trade it in, the carbon fiber dash kit ($150?) would be the least of your worries. For kicks, go to a dealership and see what your car's worth on a trade. Don't think you'll have any thoughts of trading it in after that.

I was only kidding about trading it in but I only paid 14,500 for my car I bought when they were trying to get rid of them and I got the 1.9% financing for a new 02 white si. So I love the car and the deal I got and I dont think I would lose much on a trade. ohhh yeah and the dash kit was $217 and i looks really good
