Replying to: r0yalty (May 23, 2008 9:31 am) car price :$23,029.92 + 7.75% tax + $55 doc fee + $245 License fee *car price includes dest. fee =$25114 OTD got financed at 2.9% There is nothing extra on the car. All other dealerships would not match it once i took the quote to their dealership. Some wanted to charge destination fee, some wanted to charge a higher APR. Some said they couldn't take lojack off, or protection pkg off. Bunch of Bs'ers! |

Replying to: tracemiller (May 25, 2008 6:59 am) It could have been a dealer trade which would account for the miles. For every person who would be bothered by 79 miles there would be 20 others who wouldn't be. Just pick another car if that's a problem. |

Replying to: tracemiller (May 25, 2008 6:59 am) Don't you ever test drive before you buy? Would you want the dealer telling you that you can't test drive you have to pay and then get to drive the car? Or that they only have single car you can test drive and you can't drive the trim level you want - just purchase it on faith? Of course you would not put up with that, so the dealer ends up with test drive miles and many, if not all, of the cars on their lot. If you want to test drive the car in the trim level and color you want, but then refuse to buy it because it does not have "zero" miles on it then you are really being ridiculous. Do you open an item in the store to check it out, then put that back on the shelf opened and take a sealed package to buy? If you do, then that would explain your attitude  . Most of us can't have it both ways - we want to test drive any car we want AND get a zero mile car when we decide. So you have to either give up test driving or getting a zero mile car. Dennis

As a zero mile car. they always have a few miles when they come off the trucks and during the Pre-Delivery Inspection they get driven too. Our Hondas always have at least ten miles on them. |

Replying to: dwynne (May 25, 2008 9:38 am) When I went to look for my car, I looked at four different car with the same trim level. Then I chose the one I wanted to buy and test drove it. I'm not saying that you need to get a zero mile car. Just get one with a low mile that hasn't been test drove many different time already. "Do you open an item in the store to check it out, then put that back on the shelf opened and take a sealed package to buy? If you do, then that would explain your attitude . " So you are saying that you would go to the store and buy a package that was open already and get it for the same price as other sealed package? That's what a car with many many miles on it is, isn't it? You can't compare buying a car to buying a package at the store. At the store, if you buy something and it doesn't work, then you return it because it is defective. You can't do this with a car. The minute you buy it and it leaves the lot, it is used and depreciate right away. Sure you have warranty but you have to go through the hassle and stuff. If you are happy with your new car, than that's fine. It's just a matter of what you want. Lot's of people are picky about things: like what kind of wheels they want, what kind of features and stuff. For me personally, if I saw a car I was about to drive with so many miles on it, I would tell the dealer if I can see a different car of the same trim to test drive and buy if I choose to buy. |

Replying to: tracemiller (May 25, 2008 6:59 am) I could have gotten another new car with less miles. but in essence, 79 miles isn't really much (at least to me). I mean when you go to sell your car years from now, do you think 79 miles will matter to the next buyer? it's thousands of miles that will make or break reselling in the future,not 79. I bought a honda prelude back in 2000 with 3 miles on it. I am glad i did. but even at 79 miles with my new accord, by going to this particular dealership, i saved $300-400 than the next lowest price quote. (i'd rather save that much money instead of paying it to get a car with 50 less miles on it). They had only one of the polished metal metallic in stock of the model i wanted and no nighthawk black available. So I took it. It's the first time I bought a new car and felt confident that i got the lowest price possible in the area.
