I printed a certificate available at Honda.com and presented it to the dealer's F&I guy. He stared at it like it was a naked picture of Michelle OBama and declared he wasn't aware of any finance offers from American Honda Finance Co. (which I find really hard to believe). He disappeared for awhile then I saw him talking to the sales manager and the salesman who sold me the car. 45 minutes later he told me I got the desired financing at 3.9 for 60 months. I kind of got the feeling if I didn't have the certificate with me I wouldn't have gotten the financing deal. Just make sure you print that certificate and take it with you to the dealer. Good luck. |

Replying to: sammyd2 (Mar 13, 2009 11:17 am) As I'm sure you know, one of the supposed advantages of pre-arranged outside financing is that you can approach the dealer with a "cash" offer. However, you're correct that finding a better deal outside Honda Finance's 2.9/3.9 offer is next to impossible. If you are certain you'll qualify, don't sweat it. When I purchased my Civic, I simply told the sales person that, based on my credit, I expected to qualify for Honda's lowest rate (2.9 for 36 months, at the time); and if I didn't, I wouldn't be buying. I didn't have any problem at all. |

| Looking at getting a 09 Civic sedan LX and recently went to a couple dealers in the Boston, MA area. Best price i got was 16,500 in cambridge and salesman said "we might be able to do a little better". A burlington dealership wouldn't do any better and said they'd match the 16,500. Good price? anyone in MA have some prices to share? | |

Replying to: lost57 (Mar 13, 2009 3:44 pm) Go to the Honda website and request quotes from multiple dealerships saying you want their bottom line best price(I did this and the second lowest quote was 17,100 from Honda of Boston(in Everett). I did my quote from Atamian on their website. They totally honored the quote and there was NO haggling. The sales person I dealt with was Jamie Gitshier and he was great. It dos not look like a mall when you go in there(the building is older), so I assume that is probably why they can offer low prices. Good luck!

Replying to: catfish6 (Mar 12, 2009 6:23 pm)  2.9 for 36 months. Was that any good of a deal?

After going thru the internet and getting quotes from all nearby dealers, I bought from the Borman Autoplex in Las Cruces, NM after being disappointed by the dealers in El Paso who didn't know how to close a sale for the life of them. The price of the car was about $17,900 after TX taxes and tags I was at about $19,200 OTD. El Paso Honda wanted $20k OTD and figured me stupid for a savvy internet buyer, I had offered $19,3 OTD to Rudolph Honda they were hesitant and I could tell it was going to take all day to get them there. I know people have been pleased paying about $18k (just the car, sans TT&L) and people from states with similar tax to TX were happy with $19,500 OTD, so having got it for $300 less than that I am very happy with my purchase. The best part was that Borman offered me that price and I took it that day. It was a nice drive up, the drive back gave me a chance to break it in. The other dealers had straight up LIED about Borman, I was in and out in about an hour and a half. If you live in El Paso, its worth it to go up there. I did not try Jack Key Motors, I figured 3 was enough to get me a good deal. |
