At this point, I am irritated,
 
At this point????
 
My gosh! You are a patient man, golic. You could have stopped at the $800 mudflaps and I would have been pissed. That would have been all I needed to jet out the door. I would have to double up in the collection plate on Sunday to atone for the words that would have spewed out my mouth.
 
This is what one should look like:
 
Thank you for your inquiry into a new 2009 Honda Accord EX-L sedan auto... Your out the door price for SC would be $24400 (including all fees, options, destination charge, sales tax, doc fee) No hidden costs and we have 3.9% for interest rate specials on a 60 month loan.

This dealership was the closest to our house, and we did go there for service - but I finally cut the chord with them after the tranny went out on our Odyssey at 60K miles and the service guy told my wife that our Honda Care extended warranty of 7yrs/100k miles didn't cover the trans.
 
You are more patient than me
 
Just curious, how did they try to justify that? What did you do? And what was the outcome? Inquiring minds want to know

Well, he told my wife it was not covered but he would get her a "special" deal and he would call back with a price.
 
 I then called honda care directley..the rep couldn't believe a honda dealer told me this. he then gave me a claim number to get the work done.
 
I called the servce guy back and ask him what the status was and questoned the warranty.
 
I then told the guy to just tow the car to dealer x and to use my honda claim ticket to cover the warranty repair.
 
I get a call soon after from service manager apologizing saying rep is new and didn't understand what honda care is....got some free stuff, but that was our last dealing with that dealershp.

Thanks for the answer. I love happy endings.
 
I'm amazed at how service departments try to get out of warranty work. I know they have their reasons (not reimbursed enough for example), but in the long run, it hurts them.

internet pricing by esnook

I have a question about an internet price I received recently. It's a pretty vague price at the moment, but it's for an '09 CRV EX at 21984.77 without TTL. Taxes in LA are 9% and registration will probably run around 300. Is this a good deal? It is listed in the email from the internet salesperson that the price is no-haggle. Does this mean that they most likely won't accept an offer for less?
  
I feel like such a rube when buying a car and just have this horrible feeling that I'm always getting taken advantage of.
  
Thanks
Eric

'09 CRV EX at 21984.77
 
Kind of depends on if the dealer has added anything to it. The invoice plus destination price is $22,534. (Don't know if your price quote included dest.) I believe there is a $500 dealer cash incentive from Honda right now (which they don't have to pass on to you.)
 
If you can find more info about dealer add ons and whether the price quote included destination charges ($670), we could give you more of a definitive answer.
 
According to Edmunds TMV, people are paying below invoice in your area right now.
 
The CRV Prices Paid forum is the best place to get this info... and I see you've already posted there.

Hi:
 
I am new here so forgive me if I ask a stupid question. I am still working my way through this site and have a lot to learn. i am really thoroughly impressed.
 
Anyways, my question is should I use the "Get Dealer Quotes" part of this site or do I call a dealership or the manufacturer and ask for the Internet Manager to get the quotes for the model I want.
 
Thanks!!

My advice would be to use this site and the Mfg's site to get dealer quotes. For starters send a quote request to only the dealers that are near you.
 
Be sure to be as detailed as possible, Your name, contact information, car you are looking for including trim line, color, options and if you are trading in a vehicle as well.
 
The more detailed request, the better response you will receive.
