Replying to: lammchop (Nov 28, 2008 11:33 am) about a month ago, we purchased 2009 EX-L with RES AWD for $33K including destination charge. This was in Palo Alto, Ca. I put $20K down and financed the remainder at 0% financing for 4 years.

595 + 299 dealer doc/admin fee = 898 charge not included in the car price Acquisition fee A charge included in most lease transactions that is either paid up front or is included in the gross capitalized cost. It may be called a bank fee, an administrative fee, or an assignment fee. This fee usually covers a variety of administrative costs, such as the costs of obtaining a credit report, verifying insurance coverage, checking the accuracy and completeness of the lease documentation, and entering the lease in data processing and accounting systems. |

In regard to the guy who can't get a quote without an appraisal, just tell them you changed your mind on the trade in and are either keeping it as a beater or selling it third party. You can always go back the other way afterwards. The only downside to this is that it leaves you open to a low-ball trade in amount. Bottom line is that a dealer needs to make money somewhere. If you want below-invoice pricing, you're not likely to get above-blue book trade in amount. |

Replying to: fornov (Nov 26, 2008 9:33 pm) Dealers make money on financing. If they finance you at a bank, they get some sort of fee for set up the finance. One way to counter this, is to ensure there are no prepayment penalties. It will cost you about $100 p/m to finance 30K at 3.9%. So, if you are getting an extra $500 off to finance, then take the financing and pay off the note after 30 days. This will save you $400. As mentioned, don't bring up the trade in, until the very end. What I would always do prior to car shopping is take my vehicle to a carmax and get an appraisal, They are often good for 7 days or 500 miles. This way I had a benchmark. If the dealer was too low, I would tell them no thanks - I had a firm offer elsewhere. Remember though, you do save some coin by trading the vehicle in, as most states will charge sales tax on the net of the purchase price and the trade in. So know your sales tax rate. |

Replying to: jwalls (Nov 29, 2008 9:12 am) I did get the low interest deal. How much are the running boards? is that the installed price? I received invoice then with 15% off Accessories and installation. |

Replying to: fornov (Nov 27, 2008 4:33 am) www.edmunds.com get the invoice price of what you want, then look up what you can get for your car, and shoot for retail. You pay more to trade in period. Depends on what it is worth to you. I had a 10 year old Monte Carlo 178 K miles very clean. Dealer wanted to give me $800.oo trade in, (edmunds was $750.00 trade in) TMV was $1400.00 Retail was $1700.00 I sold it in two days for $1600.00 (with a extra set of winter tires), out in my front yard. That usually doesn't happen. Selling yourself is a pain. |

Replying to: cjofpa (Dec 01, 2008 10:36 am) I would say hold out til the first of the year, maybe Honda will wise up. Don't let OPEC trick you into buying a car hastily.
