My First reaction would be why are they not answering YOUR questions - I would really push hard to have MY questions answered first. In addition I would ask them outright what they want for this vehicle - let them make the first offer not YOU. Plus ask them for the VIN number so that you can check it. Then make an appointment to inspect( make sure the VIN number they gave you matches the one on the vehicle) and test drive the vehicle -

Replying to: fred25 (Oct 15, 2008 6:57 am) I could ask them what they want or the car, but what difference would that make? It would be a pie in the sky number that I would have to bring down by several thousand I'm sure. That's why I want to know what would be a fair price, in the end. And hopefully, it does exist and is new. Actually on their website inventory, they allow you to print out the specs on the car, and even shows the VIN#. So how do I go about checking out the VIN# ? Thanks.

Replying to: scottgbwi (Oct 15, 2008 12:47 pm) Hi I believe that this particular Pilot had about 52k miles. We only provide VIN's to vehicles when it is purchased. We have a wharehouse in Brooklyn and found alot of brand new vehicles. Yes, it is a brand new vehicle. We have had alot of calls on this particular Pilot, when can you make it into our showroom and go over your options? Kimberly Internet Specialist 718-xxx-xxxx Can you tell me the miles on the NEW 2005 Pilot. Can you also tell me the VIN# ? And why do you still have a 2005 model. Is it really new? Is there anything unusual about it? Thanks.

Replying to: mitch65 (Oct 15, 2008 8:00 am) You can check out the VIN by doing a car fax - Second when you and I speak of new vehicle it should have less that 25 miles. when the dealer speaks of NEW they are saying its new to THEIR inventory and it may have hundreds of miles on it. So be careful. Third the reason I do not like to throw out numbers first is that the dealer has a price he wants to move the vehicle - since this is a 2005, IMO you should start with 23 - 25 K. you may also want to see what other 2005's are selling for at other dealers . I suggest you go to: DealersOverstock.com, Autotrader.com. edmunds.com, carsdirect.com . Hope this helps you - FRED

Replying to: mitch65 (Oct 16, 2008 6:20 pm) IMO go with a much lower offer and definitely research what the going rates are for a used one --- because anyway you look at it, it will instantly become a 4 year old used vehicle as soon as you drive it off the lot. Also the part of the dealer not willing to provide a VIN until you buy just does not sound right. Lotsa of luck to you! |
