Replying to: tkirby (Mar 08, 2006 7:57 pm) Better to solicit answers about low rates from someone else. I have some scars on my credit that have not fully healed yet so my rate, while fair, is not competitive. As for the trade, 2 guys took my car for a spin around the block. When they returned they eyeballed the exterior. Took about 10 minutes altogether, I think. FYI, my car was a 98 Civic EX sedan with 160K mi. Tires less than 6 months old, recently detailed, with a small ding in the rear bumper, a scrape (paint rub) and dent on the rear driver's side door, and some paint chipped off here and there. I also had a few burn holes in the front seats (I smoke occassionaly. Not in my new car though!) I guess this depends on how bad your dings are compared to what I just described on mine, but in my opinion I would say not to bother getting them touched up. Furthermore, I spent $200 getting my car detailed 2 weeks before I sold it. I wish I hadn't. Yes, it looked a lot better and made a better impression especially considering they got the smoke smell out, but in hindsight I think I could have gotten the same outcome if I had just given it a thorough cleaning. For what it's worth I basically got KBB trade-in value for a car with such high mileage. I was happy with that. They asked me what I wanted for it and I told them $2500, which they agreed to. (I had gotten prior offers from CarMax--$2K, and another dealer--$1500). Before closing the deal I called back and told them another dealer offered to match their trade offer and in so doing beat their OTD price by $500. If they could come up with another $500 somewhere I might be ready to buy. They upped the trade offer to $3K. I may have done a bit better but I'm satisfied with what I got. (By the way, I told a little white lie about the other dealer matching the trade. I received no such offer.) Maybe more than you needed to know but I hope it helps!

I am in the market for Accord V6 EX. The best price I have received so far is $27K drive out, with window tint. The break up is as follows: Price with Dest. Charge: $25,042 Window Tint: $ 145 Sales Tax (  6.25%, TX) $ 1,575 Inventory Tax ( 0.23%) $ 58 Document & Other Fee: $ 55 Title & Tag: $ 125 TOTAL DRIVE OUT PRICE: $27,000 I would appreciate feedback on: The quote is from Gillman Honda of Fort Bend in metro Houston area. Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with this dealership? So far the Internet sales person has been pretty decent and reasonable -- no trying to up sell unnecessary options and accessories. |
