I am moving from Texas to New Mexico. I’ve a rental home, but still have a TX drivers license. I think New Mexico has much less sales tax than Texas. Any suggestions? Also, I’ve a 2001 GMC sierra 4.8 V8 to trade or sell, whats a good trade in value on it? Looking at Gunn Honda in San Antonio. No haggle! GMC sierra runs great but has check engine light for EGR valve, small amount of hail damage to hood.
Answer:
Personally I would purchase a Yu-Go, but thats just me. Honda Civics are too overrated. Wouldn't you rather drive something that you can fit in the palm of your hand?
Answer:
Well, there’s no doubt that whatever you select, both automobiles are sure to be wise decisions. However, I purchased (financed to death) a Nissan Sentra S in June & it has been a great vehicle so far. Compared to my last car, I anticipate that the resale of this Nissan to be far greater. Nothing chaps my fanny like throwing money to the wind. All automobiles depreciate. Some worse than others. These two vehicles at least don't take a nose dive in value two years later.
My Sentra S has all options. The 6 CD is very nice, the Rockford Fosgate stereo rocks, & the magnetic grey paint is so sharp. The dealer that I got my Nissan at is right across the street from a Honda dealer. But the Sentra was just redesigned in 07 & to me has a fresh look.
I can't tell you what your GMC is worth, but KBB.com has an easy to use chart to determine value based on what your car has.
Good luck!
Answer:
I've heard more good things about Civics in general, but I personally like Nissan more.

My personal preference is Civic you should visit automobiles.com or edmunds.com and check out the true cost of ownerships for both cars like a 5 year projected values..
My experiences from Nissan and Honda ownership shows to me that Nissan Maintenance cost is high Honda is slightly less compared to Nissan. Civic is a well balanced verhicle sport, luxury, and class a good combo for the price.
If I compare BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar to Honda, Toyota and Nissan
it would be like Honda is like BMWs of economy cars
Toyota is Mercedes of economy vehicles and Nissan is Jaguar…
Best bet will be Civic.. plus i get almost 39MPG on highway driving alone and about 32-34MPG on city driving but i somwhat reckless in city roads compared to highways.
