Replying to: peter1980 (Aug 04, 2007 6:04 pm) I had gone through previous dealers at used cars, certified car dealers, and eventually decided to get something new instead. I settled with buying a new car at Autowest Honda in Roseville, CA. I spent some time previously looking at car prices for used cars but didn't use spare enough for new cars and this ultimately cost me big time. The price I paid out the door on the car is a very high price and it was poorly settled upon due to my lack of research for new cars and a first time buyers confidence. Here's how it came down: Invoice: ~$17,600 MSRP: $18,255 Price: $18,100 OTD: $20,459.99 (including taxes and etc below) Doc fee: $55 Sales tax: $1316.24 DMV e-filing: $29 (optional)Service contract(to whom paid): SAFEGUARD: $750 -- this one was a poor oversight on my part and one I should have caught. License fee: $118 Registration/Transfer fee: $83 California Tire fee: $8.75 So there you have it all laid out. After finalizing and signing everything off, it felt good driving back home 100 miles in my new car, but after checking online with all prices paid for same make and model -- I've got the blues. The experience, should anyone care: I went through 5 people (salesperson, new car manager, customer relations manager, financer, finance manager). The process was smooth up until it came to the finance department. One person in particular, the finance manager, I find it necessary to mention his name: Josh. He absolutely ruined the experience, and after the four people I had gone through, I was ready to leave without making a purchase. This guy in particular was locked in on getting me to purchase a warranty plan (~$2500) when I repeatedly expressed I had no interest and would not consider purchasing it no matter what. Right before he left he openly said out loud: "I don't give a crap" then walked out of the room. I realize had I walked out then, I would have saved quite a bit of money. Moreover, in the finance department, I was being rushed, pushed forms at to sign (this is where the $750 SAFEGUARD warranty plan was thrown in and I missed), and given brief explanations and random numbers generated. Things learned out of this experience: 1. Research new cars, pricing, dealer quotes, comparable prices paid for. 2. Carefully examine the "...Sale Contract," especially all the (OPTIONAL) bogus crap that could be thrown in. 3. Leave the lot when uncomfortable. An absolute must. 4. Don't make my mistakes. |

| My wife and I got a fantastic deal from Markley Honda in Fort Collins on a new 2009 Civic EX-L. The entire experience at the dealer was great by any standard, especially since most dealers would consider us to be young enough to take advantage of. The test drive went well, we received a price below $2000 below MSRP and were treated well throughout the experience. Anyone in Fort Collins looking for a new Honda need to give Matt Veogtle or Tad Johnson a call. | |
