Replying to: dwynne (May 01, 2007 2:48 pm) I have had OEM NAV systems in a couple of cars and they had the road detail when you VIEW the maps but can't navigate off the beaten track. Garmin has the maps and CAN navigate to the small roads in small towns. Can someone with a Honda NAV put in this address: 104 S Madisonville St Crofton, KY 42217 and see if your NAV can plot a COMPLETE route to it? My OEM Mazda system could not, while all my Garmins can. I had the same type problem with my BMW OEM system. It will say "can't provide complete route" and when you preview the route it says stuff like "continue on unknown road". I am wondering if the Honda NAV system is more complete that the others I have used in the past. This is just the address to a gas station/market I stopped at a couple of weekends back. Thanks, Dennis

Replying to: dwynne (May 11, 2007 10:42 am) LOCATION: CHARLESTON, SC I am attempting to trade in an '05 F-150. Retail (KBB, NADA) is over $28k, private party is over $26, trade in is right at $23k, but they wont give me more than $22k. I was just looking for $22k (truck) and my buddy that works for Honda told me not to pay more than $24,500 for it ('07 EX v6). Seems like I may be making the trip (8-9 hours) to purchase from him after all. Any other suggestions? |

Replying to: heathtd (May 14, 2007 9:01 pm) In my state, you get a tax credit for a trade in toward the purchase of a new car. So if they gave me $22,000 in trade I would save $1,540 in state sales tax - so that would be like selling it for $23,540. If it is like that in SC then use you tax rate to see what the trade is really worth, including the tax credits. The invoice on an 07 EX sedan V6 w/auto is $25,414. Using a Charleston ZIP code Edmunds incentives pages shows $750 in dealer money on the car (assuming you don't do the cheap lease). So $25,414 - $750 = $24,664 would be a good price for the car, including destination and dealer fees. Sure, some have posted lower numbers - but if you could get this price and what you needed out of the truck it would be an OK deal. You could try to get a price from carsdirect.com and get "dealer price quotes" from here on Edmunds and see what comes up. Others in your area, now that they know where you are, may can suggest dealers to talk to. You want to get the best price for the new Honda, then mention the trade and negotiate that. If you talk them down to invoice - incentive (or less) on the new car then plan on $22k or less for the truck. Check cars.com, autotrader.com, and the local paper for what similar trucks are selling for (at least the asking prices). You may be better off to sell the truck yourself to maximize your money. If you don't have title in hand, you can go through a dealer to do the paperwork (they essentially buy your car for the amount owed and sell it to your buyer). The one I have used charges me around $300 for the service, which includes sales contracts, temp tag, overnight shipping of paperwork, etc. No matter what the "book value" of your truck is, all the current Ford promotions really hurt the resale value. They are offering 0.0% for 60 months or 1.9% for 72 months or $3,000 cash back on a NEW one - which means folks will want a real discount to buy a used on. Dennis |

Where is the best place to find invoice pricing on Accords?

Replying to: heathtd (May 14, 2007 9:01 pm) Put your truck on ebay for no reserve and place the opening bid price at the minimum you'll take for your truck. You'll have no trouble getting better than 22K - you are in the South and pickups are king! Good luck

Replying to: heathtd (May 15, 2007 4:11 am) Base price was 23100, plus destination of $595 = $23695, included wheel locks and splash guards. Hope that helps. I had a quote from one dealer for that, took it to the dealer closest to me and they matched it. I love the car! Hope you can say the same soon |
