You don't know unless you do it. That is the game especially end of month. The "shenanigans" as you call it has been the deal with merchants for 5000 years. 1) If your state has a cooloff period then cancel the deal (or tell manager you will) 2) If its as easy to refinance as some members said you can do that at a credit union 3) Best option- have a talk with the manager(s) about your excellent credit, you want the lower rate or any satisfaction survey form you get about your experience from this dealership (and if you don't get one you will request one from honda america) will be all F's. However a finance at the low(er)rate will produce all A's. This is always a good option, success depending on how much the manufacturer is pushing survey results at the time (or at all) and the dealership's overall rating. This is one of the better levers the consumer has anymore, other than the numerous laws set up over the last 35 years. These surveys have grown in significance (dealer profit) over the last decade or two they were introduced. The factory's attempt to reign in some of the more wild cowboys amongst the independent dealerships in the USA. I would think last option would be to get F. Lee Bailey involved because of expense etc. As it stands now you probably got about an average deal on the car. Good luck --jjf I bought an EX yesterday (21,080 + fees), in NJ. I think I'm happy with the deal from what I've seen. I thought I was going to be able to finance using the current Honda deal (.9% or 2.9%, depending). It was the end of the day and I had asked the finance manager about and said that it didn't apply in our situation because we were buying for under invoice and I got a much worse rate (approx 5.8). I feel dumb now because I think that's shenanigans. Nothing I can see on the Honda site about the deal applies, and I have great credit. I plan on going to the dealer tomorrow and figuring out if there's anything I can do to get my rate changed to what I think it should be. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Do I have any recourse or am I screwed because I'm gullible? Am I better off dealing with Honda Finance at this point? |

Replying to: gmanandge (Jun 23, 2008 4:47 am) Last month's add read "Every Accord EX auto sedan in stock $20,888" that included dest charges, but they would not honor Honda America finance plans on their advertised specials. I'm pretty certain they did honor that add price, however. I used their add as a tool to buy my Accord EX closer to home for $21,500.

Most people think of changes as improvements. Lastly, road noise. The 2008 Accords are quietier than the 2007's but they still need to work on this. Camrys are a bit quietier but they don't handle as well. It's all a matter of what is important to you. |

Replying to: askme (Jun 02, 2008 11:01 am) I do not understand that way pf pricing. I got my '08 Polished Metal/black w/o Navi for $25,900 including destination fee from the dealership, plus tax. Tax, to my mind, is not part of the deal. The dealerhsip cannot do anything about that, and it vaies so from state to state and even within states from local to locale. Invoice is like $25,400 plus the $600 destination charge. If you cant get the CAR for anything less than $26,000 I think you are doing ok. |
