Re: 2013 Civic, Destroyed.... :'(

I can possibly see $30,000 in terms of the total cost paid in terms of financing but that seems a bit ridiculous if that's the amount of the initial principle amount owed.

EDIT:
according to honda.ca

Getting a car that expensive on a tight budget was a big risk to take. Hopefully the insurance will cover the damages to the car; hit and runs suck ass.

I got the Civic ex fully loaded. With financing it was like 28-30k
I think it was 23000 before tax etc

If it's 5 months old it'll be under factory warranty.

Depends on where you live. If you want to attend a concert or a sporting event, you'll either have to drive to a park-n-ride or drive straight to Houston.

Oh wow, that sounds pretty awful :/ Is the car still in working condition for the most part (i.e. is majority of the damage all cosmetic?). I know you mentioned tire damage which can cost a bit of money but at least that's not as bad as saying driving into a tree and destroying everything in the hood of the car where you have the majority of the things that perform the crucial processes that allow a car to drive.

Imho, brand new cars are almost never worth the investment. The value of a brand new car can go down thousands of dollars the instant you buy it and drive it off the lot. I'm sure there are plenty of arguments as well for buying a new car (such as almost being guaranteed that it's going to be in good working condition which could lead to lower insurance rates and that sorta thing) so I won't question your decision to buy the $30,000 car but just letting you know there are cheaper alternatives to buying a brand new car :P

you seem to forget you get a 5 year warranty on most new cars and in theory should last you a solid decade

Nah, I didn't forget, I'm just really naive, I don't know much about cars. Like I said, I know there are plenty of reasons out there to buy a new car, I just listed a few that I thought were plausible.
