Replying to: fumes (Aug 24, 2007 6:07 am) Did you buy the car already. where is this price from. If not sent me an eamil at ak_sale  hotmail.com I am planning to go in today to deal with the final price. Also send me your phone number as i can call you with the details after i get in there. If a better price comes through how soon do you think you can make the deal, that will be useful in making the deal. Regards pack76 |

Replying to: tchix (Aug 24, 2007 5:37 am) I have 2 other dealerships working on quotes for me, and I specifically said I wanted at least 1K under invoice. I didn't mention a trade in at all (I feel kinda' dirty about not saying anything....it was a bit of an outright lie on my part) and I said I'd have my own financing. Here's hoping. I'll update you all as the numbers trickle in. In the meantime, what about this supposed incentive? Where do I find accurate info? Best, Danielle

Replying to: danielle29 (Aug 24, 2007 12:20 pm) Also, make sure you note in the e-mail you are willing to drive to other areas or out of state. My two vehicles I bought were 200 miles away and the dealership knew if the price wasn't bare bones I would not make the drive. In one case the matching local price was only $250 difference but I still made the drive for the lower price and to honor their good pricing.

Replying to: obrien040362 (Aug 24, 2007 12:56 pm) I just got pre-approved financing through my Credit Union at 6.65%. I have another app out to USAA to see what their rate is. If the rates for financing are less through Honda, is it better to go through them or stay with our instituion? I'm sorry I keep asking questions, but you all are so knowledgeable and generous with your time. Thanks again! ~Danielle |

Danielle I'd strongly encourage you to follow txchix guidelines. Forget about negotiating with 1 Dealer period. (Nice, J Off, whatever you need to get more lines in the water) 1) Log into the Honda.com website and click on "find dealer" (DONT use the request quote button). 2) At that point, select "request a quote) after you have list of dealers. 3. Fill out your info. I wouldnt put a phone number down, you call them if you want...they don't call you. Ask for the following: - Obviously request model your looking for in dropdown. - In "comments" section put something to the effect: Would like an OTD (out the door) quotation on EXL RES. Please itemize charges: Base Price (including destination) only extras should be tax, title license. I understand that Honda is offering the special APR financing or the 2K dealer incentive. I would like your best price including the 2K incentive. Additionally, please include the color selection that you have available. I'm checking with several dealers in the area and will be purchasing in the next few days, so your promptness and bottom line is appreciated. (can cut and paste this in the notes). - Press Send 4. Go Back to "find dealer" enter your zip and you'll get the same list. select 'request quote" by the next dealer and this same form that you initially entered will be available. just press send. 5. repeat to at least 8 dealers in your area if your in a metro area. I'd send to everyone. OMIT the Dealer that is the most ideal location to your home. 6. Sit back..your in the drivers seat. 7. Wait for quotes to come in. 8. You'll find out who's serious. - some will give you HIGH price - some wont respond (amazingly enough) - a few will give you a pretty aggressive price - you may end up with a clear cut low ball great price 9. Forget about the highballs and the folks that want you to call to get a price. 10. Reply back to the few that are low. Note that you appreciate their offer. That you have a few others that are right there and that you'd like to buy from them. Your making the decision in the next 24 hours. Is this your best price? (if you want any accessories, nows the time to ask for them). ALternatively, you can name a price to see if they can get there, personal choice really here. 11. Wait for your responses. Hopefully you should have a pretty good price (better than you have from your other guy). 12. Take the best quote you've got and email it to the internet dept sales person of the dealer closest to you and tell them you'd like to buy local can you beat it. If they match or beat and have your color choice go buy from them. 13. If not, go back to the person with best quote and requalify the details? "You have this color in stock and this price includes destination? Only Extra's are Tax, Title License? They reply in writing with a "yes", then call them and go pull the trigger sticking to the exact negotiated details. 13.5 When you show up. Drive the EXACT VAN you are buying. Make sure you like it, no rattles, etc. Inspect it for scratches, etc. Should be fine, but make sure. You've come this far, don't overlook final details. 14. Show up with your own financing as txchix notes and ask honda if they can beat it. If they can, go that route. If not, stick with your financing. Don't show up without financing or your likely to get the "best we can do is 8.5% routine. (for financing check e-loan and capitalone.com 15. Do all negotiation back forth via email. DONT GO IN until you have a deal. If you go in without a deal being done your prone to wasting your time or caving and not getting a great deal. good luck. 16. Lastly, after putting the screws to everyone (who would otherwise be putting the screws to you)..do honor the final deal and dont try to pull the I'm here...throw in "this" and I'll buy. Im a personal beleiver in negotiation, but when you finalize on a deal...honor it and don't try to squeeze blood. Good Luck |
