Thank you islover! You have been very helpful with the credit union idea. I didnt know that they reports to your credit reports for a debit card. I will definately take that into consideration.
 
Warranty is $1,382
 
Tire Warranty - $301
 
Tints - I think around $150
 
I reside in South Florida. I contacted the dealership and they advised that they included the $3,128 that they are paying off for my lease into the total selling price. They way they put it made me feel like im only paying finance charges on the 3,128 payoff and they will pay it off for me but in reality im financing the payoff. They said they didnt make anything on the deal and actually lost $235. They said the selling price of the vehicle is actually 23,000 and change.
 
Thanks for all your help!

NEVER believe a dealer who complains that he lost money on a sale! They are not a charity, they are a for-(a-lot-of-)profit business.

REF: islover
"wow this is such a rude and unhelpful reply...
would you want to hear this if this just happened to you?
probably not
why don't you post helpful advice instead of insulting this poor girl"
 
I know i should but i just can't let this go. These forums are supposed to be informative and money saving for consumers. Most of my posts are helpful and geared towards lease calculations. I also frequent two of the Accord geek sites where i just recently joined as i am researching the new Accord for my next purchase. Just yesterday, i got into a discussion about extended warranties on the other site and was extremely helpful to a guy who overpaid for a non-Hondacare extended warranty. He was upset that he signed the contract for the warranty not knowing that it was from AWS and not Honda. Those of us on the thread firmly suggested that he read the docs and use the cancellation policy to unwind the screwjob. He went back to the dealer and they reluctantly agreed to cancel the extended warranty and he is getting 100% of his money back.
 
With regards to the current discussion, i can't believe that people exist who feel "forced' to do something stupid against their will. Here today we have two separate examples, one a first-time car buyer and one a poor-credit situation. In both cases, the outcome is not at all favorable to the consumer.
 
You would want us geeks on here to pussyfoot around the fact that these two individuals (i don't care what sex or how young they are) made POOR CHOICES in their car buying process. Were we harsh? - yes. Will they learn from this? - probably. Could we be nicer? - absolutely.
 
I am self-censoring my final comment so the mods won't delete this post...

Not trying to be rude here but I am curious as to how anyone can be FORCED to buy an extended warranty?
 
I thought same. Looked to be a bogus post. Guess not. I guess original poster was lucky dealer didn't make her pay full retail.

It seems like honda doesn't had much discount on president day weekend. I did not see any deal except financing option. The best offer that I got was 20400 with doc fees.
 
If anybody purchase the vehicle on president day please post the prize before tax.

My mom and dad use to tell me to try and make this world a better place. There are alot of people who are out to mislead,scam and hurt you in this world. Try to make a difference. If you go to work .. Make a honest days living. If someone needs a hand you lead them. Family, trust, and our American values are going out the window these days. Money, greed and power are taken over in this country. lets shit on the little guy.
 
I actually like ISLOVER post and his assessment maybe not so much ass kissing being more honest and forthright. gotta ring that bell 2x for him.

Received a OTD quote from Fowler Honda, Norman, OK for EX-L:
 
$24,941 for EX-L
$359 for decklid spoiler
 
$25,300 OTD
 
What do you think?

You have the wrong idea about OTD. Out the Door price should include taxes, doc fees, title and tags.
 
Your price ($25,300 plus any doc fees, prep fees etc.) is the sale price. It's about 1400 to 1500 below invoice, I think that's a great price for the EX-L. Just make sure you dont get screwed over with warranties, additional options or financing.
