As some on here may be aware of from previous posts, I currently own 2 cars, both late 00's Honda products. I've had my 08 Acura TL for 3 years now, and currently have an 06 Honda Civic Si for whenever I feel like scooting around in a little go cart.

Now that I've fixed what I've needed to on the Si, it doesn't make sense to keep both of these rides and pay insurance for two cars. Thus the time has come to decide to sell one of them.

The Si is definitely more fun to drive, better on gas, and has a new engine and clutch. I definitely enjoy driving it, more-so than the TL. However, it has 177K miles and counting, and I don't think it was very well taken care of by its previous owners.



The TL is definitely a classier ride that's in better condition and has fewer miles at 166K. Just had a new clutch put in at 161K. It is still a fun ride with a powerful V6 but I definitely can't throw it around in the corners like I can with the Si. I also think the power steering rack is starting to go out.



Before I get negged into oblivion for driving Honda's, I am thinking of a Ford truck as my next vehicle.

TLDR: I can't decide which of my cars to sell. OT helps me make a decision.

Sell the TL. You'll get more money for it and you seem to like the Si better anyway.

Baws usually drive something with the numbers 2, 5, and 0, not a bunch of silly letter combinations.

Why do you buy such old cars with over 100K worth of mileage in the first place?

You can get good deals on cars with lots of life left.

Let me rephrase my answer. If both cars accomplish all the things you need it for go with the car that saves you money. I assume the civic cost less in gas, insurance, and maintenance so I would go with the civic.

Sell both of those because I'm sure there is an antique car buyer out there somewhere.

The mileage is reasonably close but one car has a new engine in it and is more fun to drive and better on gas. I think you have the answer.

I mean, one is a small car for teenagers and townies in bright blue

The other is a reasonably decent looking vehicle for adults
