From my experiences dealing with them, do not trust their quote untill you actually sit down to write up the transaction. You might have to physically go to each of them and be prepared to walk if you don't like the deal. Be careful though, not to let them make you buy from feeling guilty of wasting their time. Be mentally strong

External tempature setting by terryjim1

I have just purchased a 2007 Accord V6. The external tempature reads about 15 degrees less than the actual outside tempapure always. I have always been told these tempature gauges read hotter than the actual temp. IS this a common problem on Honda with the tempature reading 15 to 20 degress under the actual outsdie tempature.

I've found the external temp on my 04 EX-L matches my outdoor thermometer. There is an adjustment you can make (see the car manual) but I'm not sure you can offset a 15-20 degrees error. The external temp reading is slow to react to temp changes, so if you pull out of a colder garage to a warmer outside, you will see an error for a while.

What are you comparing it against? Are you using a thermometer right next to the sensor or are you going by a bank sign or the radio?

You're quite welcome. Please let us know how it turns out. I was surprised by how deceitful and manipulative the people in the car business can be. But I did have a wonderful exepience with a Nissan Salesman who was honest and genuinely respectful. He was a christian though and planned to become a pastor, which explained it.
 
Here's our Accord-buying story. When we bought our Accord last year, I wanted to get a loan from Capitalone online but didn't get a chance to get the pre-approval before going in the dealership. Capitalone had the lowest rate at the time. The salesman was professional and respectful, and the finance manager was initially friendly cracking jokes with our children and all. But as soon as I asked "could we come back in a couple of days to close the deal so we can get the loan from Capitalone". His attitude turned 180 degrees "We've spent so much time with you, and you don't even have the integrity to respect us enough to take a loan 0.2% higher?" I was absolutely shocked and infuriated. Where I come from, you don't use that language on your enemies, let alone your customers! But being the gentleman that I was, I didn't say anything and took their loan. I'd rather pay more to get out of that place asap. There's absolutely no point of arguments with one who is willing to stoop that low. Experiences like this don't do much to bolster one's faith in humanity.

Sorry for you discomfort,T. Always be prepared to politely say the magic words. "I'm sorry,that's all I can pay today." Push your chair back, thank them for their time, getup and walk to your car and leave. If they don't catch up to you on the way to the car with a better offer they will be telephoning in a day or two. Just the way the game is played.

> I didn't say anything and took their loan.
 
You rewarded his chutzpah by taking the loan he was intimidating you into taking.

Yeah I know. I made a few mistakes on that purchase that I warned others not to. For one, shouldn't have taken the family; two, should've gotten the financing in place before showing up on a whim. In the end, I just didn't think saving less than $100 was worth all the aggravations of confronting him, especially with the kids getting impatient already. If I were alone, I probably would've responded differently.
