#20907 of 24576 Re: Honda Financing Remorse Issue [joshuaians] by ljgbjg Jun 23, 2008 (6:39 am)
Replying to: joshuaians (Jun 22, 2008 2:59 pm) Sometimes in these "sweet" financing deals the dealer participates in the 'buy - down" of the rate. Accordingly, they will not do it for deals where their margins are otherwise already slim, like when you get the car below invoice. That is a possibility and not illegal - you have to read the fine print. Replies to this message: socalhonda (Jun 24, 2008 4:36 am)

Replying to: socalhonda (Jun 23, 2008 4:54 am) "The financing has nothing to do with the price of the car it's a totally separate issue."   Not necessarily true - if the promo is at participating dealers, then they are participating in a rate buy down cutting into their up front profit, so they WOULD not probably offier it on a below invoice deal.
#20909 of 24576 Looking for dealer - EXL - 4 door, 4 cyl, auto by larryallen707 Jun 23, 2008 (9:44 am)
I am looking for a 2008 4 door, 4 cyl, auto, EXL. I am in the Sacramento area. My lowest offer thus far is $23,500 + standard fees. Anybody know of a dealer in the general area that can get me that last $500 so I can meet the deals they are getting in SoCal? It's only $500 so obviously not flying to LA to get the car. Maybe something in the east Bay Area? Replies to this message: parviz (Jun 23, 2008 10:04 pm) hondahenry (Jun 24, 2008 1:06 pm) parviz (Jul 07, 2008 12:59 pm) canddmeyer (Jun 24, 2008 12:52 am)

#20911 of 24576 Paint sealant by gismap Jun 23, 2008 (10:51 am)
In asking for quotes, some dealers have mentioned paint sealant worth $595. None of them included in their price, but I was wondering whether this is a real dealer applied sealant or if it is already on the car already? Does anybody know about this "add-on"?

Replying to: gismap (Jun 23, 2008 10:51 am) Just one of those deals that cost the dealers $10 in materials and they use to pad their profits! IMHO - stay away from any "dealer" add ons like rustproofing, etc. I have walked out of dealerships where they take a $25,000 car and make it a $30,000 car with "dealer installed" add ons.   For example, a local dealer here in Manhattan had a "body protection package" that consisted of body side moldings (not factory) and some bumper protecdtion strips - $1995!!!   Please - I had the dealer from whom I bought my car in Albany, NY install the Honda factory body side moldings - 1. They look a 1000 times better than any after market stuff and 2. They cost $225 installed and, while some find them objectionable, I like their looks and they DO protect the sides from door dings - a real hazard here in Manhattan parking garages.

Replying to: gismap (Jun 23, 2008 10:51 am) This is an enormous waste of money. Everyone in a car dealership gets paid if they sell it and it has a value of 0. Don't waste your money!
#20915 of 24576 Re: Ready to buy EX auto 4 cyl [levtom] by gmanandge Jun 23, 2008 (11:51 am)
Replying to: levtom (Jun 23, 2008 5:31 am) It is as I suspected (with the lowball price in that ad) and you wrote in your post. This is a classic bait and switch. Try to get people in the door with a low price and switch them to another car/stock # after they arrive knowing that the original car is not available. I feel like calling the attorney general's office! This is a practice that is patently illegal in Mass. and most other places, btw. On the other hand, two other dealers came back at $21,431.00 + tax and I am pleased with that price. Now I just have to decide: gray or silver. Thanks for your input and insight!

Replying to: gmanandge (Jun 23, 2008 11:51 am) I have no Idea what you are referring to about the attorney general. To place an ad with one or 2 vin# and identify it, or advertise all EX-l's for 3000 off (and they are quickly gone, or only one on the lot to begin with) is not uncommon, and I see no masses of dealers in the prisons in the country. To give the customer the another option because the vehicles are gone, etc is "courtesy" or of course a "bait and switch" depending on how you look at it. This has been done for 80 years in the car biz.   I guess a bad actor never even having the car could be pursued, however AG offices usually have more pressing business.   --jjf   It is as I suspected (with the lowball price in that ad) and you wrote in your post.
