Replying to: miamixt (Mar 25, 2006 7:42 pm) Depending on the dealer, you can get extended test drives (keep it for overnight, etc.). Some manufacturers also promote extended test drives. In 1991, when I was considering a SAAB 9000, SAAB corporate offered extended test drives. I picked-up the car at the local dealer in Indiana on a Friday, drove the car to a family reunion in northern Michigan, and returned the car Monday afternoon. The total roundtrip mileage was just a bit over 700 miles. With your car's mileage, the more likely scenario is a dealer trade. This may explain the higher mileage on your car. A new car delivered to the dealership typically has less than 30 miles on the odometer. Of course, the possibility does exist your car was used for test drives by other prospective buyers.

Replying to: coolblue2 (Mar 26, 2006 6:59 am) It is a matter of how comfortable you are without it! If you can sleep without it then don't spend the extra money... if it were $500 or less I would buy one may be, but not $1,000 +. What guarantee is there that you will still have the car in 5 years? What if it gets in an accident? stolen? I personally would not spend/finance the extra cost. |

Replying to: bobad (Mar 21, 2006 5:32 am) Occupants could open the door just like in any other car. Just got back from vacation. We got creamed from behind in the rental Maxima, which had auto door locks. The right rear door was bowed out, but remained closed which would have helped prevent the rear seat passenger (if there were one) from being thrown from the vehicle. Front passenger's golf cap got thrown out either the rear window or right rear window. If the r. rear door had opened a passenger, even wearing a seat belt, could have been thrown from the car. Our replacement rental, Chev Malibu (Classic) had auto locks which engaged as soon as putting the car into reverse or drive. Folks, auto locks are a safety feature. I suggest that any of you who are ignorant of their value read your owners' manual before posting an uninformed opinion.

Hi, am really hopin you can help me. My hubby and I went to test drive the Sonata. I really liked it -- fully loaded witha price of 20,400 if we finance w/them or 19,400 if we don't. My husband wasn't happy about the 20,400 vs. 19,400 and asked to see the financing papers but the salesman woudln't show it to him. My husband figured it was there way of tricking us into buying their financing. My question is: if we finance thru Hundain is it true we can re-finance with our fin. co. later without a penalty. If not, should we just pay the 20,400. Hope to hear from you. Many thanks for all your help. PS: They were out of the beige color so I might hav to settle for the white powder (my 2nd choice).

Replying to: 94hawkskin (Mar 26, 2006 5:22 pm) It's not actually the state that has the penalty, it is the finance contract/finance company. WHENEVER I purchase a new vehicle, if I am not going through my private banker (who already knows my preferences), I ALWAYS make sure there is no prepayment penalty. That means, NO penalty at all. So, if I pay it off in 30 days, I only pay 30 days of interest charges. If I refinance with a better rate from a different company....no penalties. If there are prepayment penalties, I finance elsewhere. If the dealer won't give me the same deal if I don't finance through them...I shop elsewhere. They aren't the only dealer of a certain make. Just make sure in the contract that it states there are no prepayment penalties. AND HAVE THEM SHOW THAT SECTION TO YOU AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDING. If there are no prepayment penalties then one should be safe in refinancing later down the road with a different company. |
