What are some things to note when buying a new car?

My neighbor wanted a Honda Civic 2019 EX.

I asked him what did he want the car to have he said:

Leather seats
Heated seats
Heated mirrors
LED Turn signals on mirrors
LED daytime running lights
LED Plate lights
Foglights
Vanity mirror lights
Sunroof
Navigation

not one mention about the transmission or engine

What's the point of this question

Ask the dealer how often its going to need tyres and what else the warranty doesn't cover that going to empty your wallet personally the less thing to go wrong the better.
How much is it going to cost to service it for the next 5 years?
Will it take me thrashing the gutts out of it daily?

1 years old and currently have a Massachusetts permit. I live in

Whether he can afford it

Some people are just fascinated by shiny things and flashing lights, if that's what he likes good luck to him.
I have had cars with heated seats and mirrors, they were just useless gimmicks, unless you live in a sub-zero climate you will use them a couple of times then never again. Modern cars have become so identical in every way they have to have brainstorming sessions in the boardroom - q- what can we put on our car that the opposition do not have? - a- LED turn signals on mirrors.

And to top it off the EX model is the cheap version that likely doesn't have those options.

So, if that's a problem for you, that your neighbor wants all those options, I suggest counseling for you. Every new car comes with an engine and transmission, but worry about that all you want.

Assuming he's in the USA, by stating Civic EX he's already limited to the 1.5 turbo with a CVT. Therefore there was no point him stating that specifically.

  • When you buy/lease a brand new car, are you able to add things/customize it at the dealer? In 2014 my friend financed a base model Jetta brand new red. However his model came with fog lights and LED turn signals but had hub caps. However, my other friend had a 2014 Jetta as well and had the middle trim and had no fog lights or LED turn signals but had aluminum alloy rims. Can you add things like that to a car? I know at Honda if I wanted Fog lights on the middle trim they would ask me to upgrade entirely to the highest trim which i don't need, I just want the fog lights
  • What to do when you leave a note when you hit a car in the parking lot? So my sister was learning to drive in my car she doesn't have a license and I don't have insurance. She hit the side of a parked Honda where I live. I left a note with my name, number, time, and that she was learning how to drive, I don't have insurance and that I would pay for the damages. They contacted me two days later saying hi, you left a note on my car about hiring my car. How should I respond?
  • What are some things I need to know about The Honda Indy Toronto race? On July 20th I'm going to the Honda Indy Race in Toronto with my boyfriend. This is my first time going to any type of race and I don't really know a lot about Car races but I don't want to go without knowing what's going on and I don't wanna feel stupid when he starts talking about these things.
