I know that you and most everyone out here has bought things out of their price range, but that doesn't change the fact that she is screwed, she loved that car as much or more than I love the Z.
So yes to wife and gf, if funds are available.
Im speechless-Ive been with my GF nearly 4.5 years and I wouldnt sell my DD to help her a$$ if she had done this. I WOULD help her, but wouldnt sell my car for it-not even my daily driver! Your only teaching her your a sucker-and that you will do pretty much anything for HER fawk up. Hope she doesnt abuse it in the future. Hate to see you go out like that man.

On a serious note, hey if it makes you happy to do this than go ahead. You seem to have some extra cash from your house sales won't she accept a loan or something? I borrow my chick money all time (w/ interest)

There isn't that much cash, trust me, lol. I jsut bought another house to flip, but did have a little left over.
I helped her with car, so if the payments tank, so does my credit.

Danger that is wrong.
I explained that there are numerous reasons why I decided the Z days are over, mainly her situation but there are others.
She didn't ask, I offered, she didn't cry or abuse her natural abilities, lol to get this it was my idea, end of story. I am not given up my DD, this car from day one was a pleasure vehicle, and I enjoyed it a lot.

Mod friendly dealership then. I spoke to two different dealerships, same story both places.
One of which told me that they may be willing to do a good will hardship something or other, but he said they would look at the ecu and determine the last RPM, and then when they saw the 15k rpm right before the engine let go, she would be stuck with a huge labor bill, plus no fix. I have tried about every angle that I know how to.

gf's come and go.. at least wives might stay a while..
.......
on the warranty issue.. do this.. call up the nearest honda dealer.. tell them you are looking to purchase a Civic SI, but you are wondering if the warranty lasts from the purchase date or the manufactuer date.
no on the gf man.. unless you commit your life to be with this woman.. you shouldn't be putting yourself out of your way..

when my son's mom got pregnant.. everyone told me the right thing to do was to marry her.. i could hardly get along with her when i was dating her.. why in the hell would i marry her because "its the right thing to do".
if you are not even 100% to marry this girl, don't even waste your time. If you want to get rid of you Z .. just say you want to get rid of your Z.. but don't say its to help your gf because its the right thing to do.
I was in a 7 year relationship with my college sweetheart.. we were engaged twice.. the things i look back on what i sacrifice for that relationship.. thats relationship is no longer.. as scott said.. don't make a decision now you will regret for the rest of your life

After I read this, I get where you are coming from. I have thought of starting over with the Z for months, and this is a good reason. I do 100% in my gut know this is what I need to do, otherwise a great person could royally get screwed.
I definately would not regret helping her out now or ever, and the car thing, yea I could regret that, but time will tell on that end.

This is true, but Felicia didn't buy the car new, she is the second owner, as was I on my Z.

the right thing to do is for you to help her but not at the expense of what youa re planing on doing... i am not startin gto believe you might be overly whipped or somethign craig... i mean.. how old are you anyways.. if older you should know better at what todo... this is not a case of ..cars come and go.. i mean its not life death situation... she is not making you choose between her and the Z... none of that...
she even agrees with all of us... whats the deal!
How fcking lame
so now you sell your Z so you can pay for your GF's repair bill on a Honda?? Sad sad sad......
Don't mean to offend but.. Appologies if it does.
Is that even the real reason? I don't mean to budge on personal busniess but if you got tired of FI Z then spit it out!

You need to proof-read, lol. I can't make out a lot of what is said here, but I will try...26, I know it isn't a catastrophic event that is an end all, screw all ordeal, but in the end, after everything is said and done, she doesn't have the cash to buy a daily driver, she would have to walk out every morning to see her S2000 not running, bumming rides the best she can, essentially it could take her months to come up with the money.
Over time whatever I invest, she will eventually pay me back, and she will be able to drive her car in a month rather than an undetermined amount of time. I could take out a loan, but at 1200 a month with 350 car payment and tithes she gives, and charity she participates in, she wouldn't be able to repay it until she got out college anyway, so this is literally the best way to go.
Look, essentially everything on my car that will be sold is material, it is just parts that I enjoyed. I will get another car, now or later, and make it awesome, just the same as this. I am firm believer in Karma, and I really don't even mind doing this, I had some frustrations with the car, and I know helping her out will help me feel better to about the entire situation.

No offense taken, but read the reasons, before ASSuming.
