The customer service and consumer experience for this process won't satisfy anyone. Due to lack of a transparent car buying process, the price is the only thing that's worth to look at. Thank God for the Internet!

Replying to: brw115 (Mar 22, 2007 7:50 am) I decided not to shop the other 3 dealers who would price over email. I had considered it, but thought - if I went back to the same salesman will they "pay" me back for the repeat business? If internet sales is only going to re quote MSRP - what's the point? Based on responses in the forum, it does sound like some internet sales does get positive results. I have not bought many cars, but consider Honda a fair dealer. Other "American" dealers have tactics which drive me crazy. I loved reading through the undercover salesman blog on Edmunds. In the end I want to feel like I'm not being taken for a ride. I want a good deal. Now I know MSRP is a bunch of hooey and will always undershoot the price. Obviously most people fear the negotiations. With these forums people can at least know what the dealer/salesman is willing to take. I don't get to haggle many other prices. A load of bread costs me what they sell it for. I don't get to barter for that. Though, the price of vegetables is about double here right now - guess what - we don't buy the high priced food either.  Second day in the Civic and it's a blast! |

If I didn't buy the car from the dealer, but rather the dealer a few blocks away - will they still give me the same quality of service if I had bought from the dealer? Give me a break on the scheduled service price - being a repeat and loyal customer - and then I'll feel like I'm getting served. |

I got my EX sedan automatic for $18,652 (including destination charges) and helped my brother get an LX sedan automatic for $16,901 (including destination charges). Paid $45.00 dollar document fee’s both times. Also, there were no trade in's and I got a great loan rate from my local credit union. Thanks to all of you on this forum and consumer reports, I learned how to shop for cars, Thanks! -Guevara-
