Replying to: dmamsquared (Oct 17, 2005 10:57 am) Took delivery of the 2006 EX V6 4 dr sedan from Bayridge Honda in Brooklyn yesterday. (First time new car buyer!!!) Breakdown: Base: 24568 Destination: 550 Tax (NJ 6%): 1507 Dealer processing fee: 45 NJ DMV fee: 275 OTD: $27 K Actually walked out once because I thought they were overcharging me for NJ DMV fee (around 200 if you do it yourself), but then I thought it is not worth wasting my day off on $100. Overall pretty smooth experience. They are 10 minutes from my home, called them and made an appointment for a test drive. They didn't have a 06 so I just drove the 05 (had already made up my mind about buying 06). Had taken internet quotes from about 10 dealers in the vicinity. Open Road had 24568 (but 300 for processing fee). David Michael's Honda had similar with 139 processing fee. Both had written quotes. By the way don't even go near Lakewood Honda in NJ. Terrible people. I had gone there with my wife and kid while visiting friends and the guy there wouldn't even let me test drive the car. He told me what was I doing if I wasn't going to buy the car the same day; well, I laughed and left. Hardly any negotiation with Bayridge Honda, called them after I got all the quotes, asked them to beat it or match it, they agreed to match it (I forwarded emails with quotes to them). Went to the dealership who broke down the purchase order for me, I paid $100 deposit and told them I would get them a certified check. Signed the purchase order and faxed it to my bank. After I got the check I just faxed over a copy of my license and got my insurance company to fax over a binder to the dealer. Had to wait an hour or so while they got the car ready and of course the finance guy wanted to sell me gap insurance, extended warranty, and lo jack. I didn't want any and he didn't push it. By the way transmission for this car is still built in Japan, everything else is in Ohio (final assembly point). Hope that't not something which would impact Honda's reputation for reliability. One final question for all the guy out there. Is gap insurance worth the money? Is is usual practice for everybody who finances a car to buy it? PT.

..is more common on leases, than finance deals.. How much did you borrow relative to the price of the car? Gap insurance only makes up the difference between the replacement value and loan payoff, so it usually isn't a large amount of money that you are insuring... If the amount they are charging for GAP insurance is more than a couple of hundred dollars, it probably isn't a good deal... If you borrowed the entire $27K, then my answer might be different... regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 19, 2005 4:38 am) I financed 25K. So I guess I might as well pay a couple of hundred for the gap insurance. I got this website www.gap-insurance.com and it offers gap at $299 for all vehicles. Any input from anybody who bought gap before? PT.

Hey guys Thanks to everyone's good avdice on if I should put a deposit down for my new 06 accord coupe v6 auto I went to the dealership yesterday to put down my deposit. He showed me the form which showed the final price we agreed to. The form that stated a 100% refund if the car wasn't delivered the way I wanted, and I Put it on my credit card. I even had him write down the manufacturers code just to be on the safe side. I feel confident enough that things should be ok. Is there anything else I was missing? Thanks for your help once again! kevin |
