You answered your question in your last paragraph. When they decided to get a divorce, my cousin's wife charge $30K on their joint AMEX card, knowing her prominent attorney husband would pay the bills.
The lease for the car my wife drive's is in my name. Do you think she would start making the payments if she split.
Fortunately, I went through an amicable divorce in my first marriage but I have heard horror stories. Be careful with joint credit.
And don't forget that alimony and child support can cause financial hardship.
Please stick with auto purchase comments in this forum.

That was my question. How is marital status relevant to the Credit history and the subsequent auto purchase. Thank you for clarifying it, and confirming what I had originally thought. It is completely IRRELEVANT.

i was trying to get price quotes on the Accord LX CVT, and i tried via cars.com, edmunds.com, carwoo.com, but i haven't received any decent price quote. They are sneding me their automated "e-price" quote that is around 20100+790 dest which is pretty bad, any suggestions (like any other websites or something), thanks.

Have you tried www.carsdirect.com or American Express car buying service?
 
Perhaps it is the going price. What are you looking to pay?

Once again, Brian I can tell you really don't know the business like you think you do.
 
You wrote.." What dealer wants a 5 or 6 yr (old) car??????????????"
 
Actually those are the ones in the greatest demand. A nice 5 year old car that is a popular model are in very high demand. We would take those cars, detail them to perfection, run them through a 105 point inspection and do whatever reconditioning was necessary. We couldn't get enough of them. If they did happen to need any of those items you mentioned, we would do the work and show the buyers what we did.
 
We would even sell nice ten year old and older Hondas and Toyotas.
 
We would NOT keep Audis, Land Rovers, Volvos or Volkswagens. These we would take to the auctions or wholesale them. Years of experience caused these decisions to be made. We didn't need the headaches or unhappy customers. On rare instances we would perhaps make an exception but we never kept a Land Rover or an Audi.

Your email quotes will only get you so far with pricing. To secure your best deal You need to negotiate One on One with either internet manager or sales manager by phone letting them know you will buy immediately with a credit card deposit the last days of this month.
Your other option is on feb,28th go visit several dealers and make your best deal.
You will never find a good price the way you are going about your business.
you have no leverage the way your trying to buy this accord.
read my prior post and do what i'm saying and you will secure your best deal in your area.

Well thats great news your telling me. Most be something new. I guess the dealership you worked at was one of the very few who gave that trade in car a good value. Like i posted.. Over the many years i have inquired about a trade in from time to time All my cars are garaged kept nothing needed to be replaced or fixed. dealers never offered me fair market value. Why is that?? My cars are in demand.
 
My neighbor down the block tried to trade in his 3, 1/2 yr lexus. The dealership felt mabey this old guy is stupid enough and told him the best he could do was about 8 thousand less than book. Just not a demand car i guess.
 
I'm assuming i really dont know this car business like you.

That's more than $2300 off the list price. Sounds pretty good to me.
 
Invoice on an LX CVT is about $21300+. You are getting a below invoice price on an all-new car that's winning awards and comparison tests. Go for it. Enjoy!+++

The dealer is out there to rip you off on the trade-in. Keep haggling and he may give you addl $500.

Not yet, but will try. I know Anderson offered me the $19, 579 plus $790 destination. They are kind of far from me. I am in PA. Will contact managers as Brian suggested. My target OTD is $21.5 but if I get it for an extra $300 I would consider. We will see.
