Replying to: moondance (Feb 04, 2005 8:24 pm) You mentioned your husband's deposit was by check. I would do two things: First, IMMEDIATELY call your bank and stop payment on the check. Second, call the dealership and tell them you'd like to void the deal and purchase a different van. If they refuse, let them know they hold a now-worthless check and they can do with it... (insert your most colorful version here). If they threaten legal action, they're bluffing... you have not taken delivery. (If you'd feel better, contact your family atty in advance for verification). True value is 'what the market will bear.' But if that dealership feels that market value is really $39,808, then they should have no qualms voiding your deal, because they'll have 10 more people lining up behind you to pay that (they won't, or if they do, those 10 people don't read these boards). I know a certain poster will likely say "but you signed a contract... you're not holding up your end of the deal." But as you said, is charging you $1k for $100 of accessories fair, either? Honesty and integrity are a two-way street. These guys are selling Honda Odysseys, and I'd guess about 2,000 of 'em roll off the assembly line weekly. This is not the last Slate Green Nav/RES that will ever be made. I'd bet there are 20 vans just like the one you want at other dealerships throughout the state/country. Don't be afraid to walk away if you're uncomfortable now. There are good deals in TN. I bought a slate green EX-L from Dobbs Honda-Mendenhall in Memphis for about $500 over invoice. Got that price over the phone... simply checked their on-line inventory for color/options, and said "$26,284 is what I'll pay. Will you sell?" Answer was 'yes.' A neighbor bought a dark blue EX-L at similar savings from the same dealer. They will negotiate openly and (for a car dealer) honestly. There is a better way, and knowledge is the key to successful negotiation. These boards are a good starting point. I wish you best of luck. |

Replying to: dsmith1381 (Feb 03, 2005 2:28 pm) I live in Florida where by law, I can only buy the Honda policy from a Florida Honda dealer. That shuts out a ton of good online & out of state deals. Does anyone know of a dealer in Florida that sells the 7/100K/0 policy at a decent price to a person who didn't buy their vehicle at their dealership? Thanks - |

Replying to: odyssey42 (Feb 07, 2005 5:25 am) That does not sound right. Did your dealer by any chance tell you about this "law"? |

Replying to: dulnev (Feb 07, 2005 7:15 am) It's a well discussed issue in other forums. Florida considers extended warranties to be insurance. As such, they can only be sold by insurance reps registered by the state of Florida. Further, Florida regulates the discounting of insurance.
