Replying to: capt41470 (Oct 16, 2005 8:09 pm) the drive. I recently purchased a 2006 Honda Accord, EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5A) from Ken Dixon Honda in Waldorf, MD. I neg. with a internet saleperson for about two weeks before purchasing the car. I also called and chatted online with 3 or 4 other dealers in the area after getting my price from Ken Dixon Honda. Several other salesperson said they could beat my deal, but no-one (I mean No-One) would give it to me in writing. I visited one dealership, who promised to beat the deal, and they wasted my time - told me after a hour of waiting that they couldn't do it; come to find out, they didn't even have the car available that I wanted (another lie). Anyway, Ken Dixon Honda honored their internet quote, which was a OTD price and located the car and deliveried it on the day/hour that I wanted to pick it up. My price for the car: $22,950 OTD The price was about $500 over invoice, which included the MD tax, 5%, tag, title, distination & process fees.

Replying to: glhendr1 (Oct 17, 2005 8:35 am) I have been dealing will numerous salesmen (women) these past few weeks. I can say that maybe three out of twenty were honest and genuinely helpful. There's the cocky category: Thank ME for giving YOU a miserable deal . The fast-talking, wheeler dealer category: I arranged to get it for you; it will be here tomorrow, so I need a deposit. And then there's the good guy category. I don't have it...I'll try to get it...What was your best offer...I'll try to beat it. I finally found a good guy. He's at Martin Honda in Newark, DE. If you live near Philly, go thru the internet and use a Wilmington zip code. At least that's what I did. I was tired of the malarchy from the nearby dealers! |

Replying to: econnect (Oct 17, 2005 11:21 am) If you think the negotiating stops when you make the deal, you're mistaken. There is plenty of negotiating to be done with the finance rate. I called State Farm. Top tier is 5.2%, but you have to be a customer. There are rates out there lower than 5.9% Go into the dealership and say that you'll be arranging your own financing. They probably will offer you a sweeter, if not comparable deal. |

LOL What's in it for you... the fifty buck referral fee? |

| To add to what you just said about telling them you "will be" arranging your own financing, actually go and get approved for the loan first. I'm sure that I would not have gotten AHFC's best if they thought that I was just bluffing. They came in with a better offer than what I knew was a good offer from a Credit Union. I think pre-approval helps with the negotiation process in the deal. Less tricky "suggestions" coming at you. Just keep saying, "I'll have my own money". | |

Hey Guys I just wanted to say thanks for the advise on open road. I had a feeling that is wasn't the real deal. Very good points from everyone who replied to my question. Thanks again! |

Hi guys Is it a good idea to leave a deposit on a car that isn't on the lot? I've had some people tell me it's not a big deal b/c u can always cancel payment if u put it on your credit card, and i've had people tell me that in no way that you shold leave anything down unless the car u want is on the lot. I explained to one dealer my concerns of leaving a deposit, and he assured me that there would be no problems in getting the car I wanted and that I didn't have to worry about anything, and that it's a normal process. I'l like to know what u guys think. Thanks again for your help! kevin
