Beware the "snake oil" at finance time!!! by joeyjoejoe

I've seen a couple of people mention the rust-proofing, paint sealant, interior coating......whatever, that eventually comes up when finalizing the finances. Just be sure to take a moment to actually calculate how much those extras are going to cost you. My finance person, like most, was trying to get me to roll them up as a package into the car loan. I went in knowing I could get better deals on the extended warranties, but was a little taken aback by the other intriguing extras.
 
They try to cover the true cost of the product by adding "just and extra $10 a month" to your loan payment. Compound that over the life of your loan and...gasp...that rust-proofing will cost you like $700! Save the money and have another shop do it for you for half (if not more) as much. That's even if you really actually need these "snake oil" extras. Debatable if you ask me. Cheers!

I got my 08 Pilot EX-L w/ RES for $27400 ($30109.60 OTD) yesterday from Stevens Creek Honda, CA.
 
They quoted Honda service plan for 5 years for $925. I declined it. Was it worth the money ?

The honda pilot wholesales used for 10000-12000 or more off list first year depending on model. The market has been weak for the 20mpg trucks for almost 4-5 years and its getting worse. I have no doubt that a few individuals may have got an 2wd exl-navi for 26500. That would be exceptional for an awd. The pilot has traditionally sold for about 3000 off msrp at intro (august) to about $7500 off july the following year. Given the depreciation, $7000 off is hardly giving them away. None of the 20mpg trucks/suvs from any manufacturer in the last 5 years or so will sell without heavy incentives. It just looks like honda has moved the dealer incentives a few months ahead this year due to the economic slowdown.
 
Several high volume Honda dealers in the west and northeast have advertised the 29000 and 31000 Ridgeline for over $8000 off MSRP. This formerly was unheard of especially this early in the year.
 
Honda was the only nameplate to let dealers (sacucci etc) sell their factory hondacare warranty competitively online, resulting in a 8/120 price of around $1300 for what the dealers usually scalped well over $2000 for in the finance office. Numerous folks in all the honda forums wised up (why do they wait until after the purchase to research?) when they had paid $800 more than the competitive online price and renegotiated or cancelled. I'm surprised the dealers took this long to get honda to terminate this practice.
 
Happy Huntin'
