Replying to: 3brodrig (Apr 04, 2007 2:51 pm) JJF, see that you are in Cincy and have learned a lot from your posts. I am really interested in what you think of Cincy market and where I might get the best bang for my buck? I am also getting quote from guy at Sam Swope in Richmond KY but he seems fishy as says he'll go $2K under best internet quote but all phone contact and he hasn't committed it to writing on the internet. Don't mind driving the 2 hrs. for a great deal but don't want to drive to Richmond if he's not going to honor the deal once I get there. Also got quotes from Superior and Honda East who were $300 and $886 over the best quote of $28,273. Thanks for your help.

Replying to: 3brodrig (Apr 04, 2007 6:09 pm) Are you getting quotes on 2007 EX-L 4WD as well? Not sure that I need 4WD in Cincy but took JJF advise in Msgs #8409 where he said to avoid the 2WD as limited supplies of 2WD mean better savings on 4WD. Right now the quotes are $1200 more for 4WD than 2WD at all dealerships even Wyler. Interested in knowing if should hang tight for now and either recontact Wyler last week of April and/or send out for 10 internet bids last week of April? What savings can I hope to achieve during the last week of April off the most competitive quote received thus far of $28,273 as I am willing to wait for best deal? What can I hope to achieve in savings by waiting until Memorial Day weekend as need new car by June. Thanks for help.

Replying to: cvg1 (Apr 04, 2007 6:28 pm) I am not getting quotes for a 4WD EX-L as I have never seen the point of buying a 4WD car and I've lived in Colorado for over 20 years. I've had 4WD cars in the past where I have never used the feature. 2WD will also save you on insurance. While you may be able to get the 4WD for a nominal amount more than a 2WD, I look at it the same as buying things at Sam's Club. You can get more for just a little bit more money, but can you really use 96 oz. of maple syrup? I will actually be buying here in the next couple weeks, so I will keep you abreast of my dealings. |

I did get better quotes from Columbus and such, the edge was like < 250USD. I was willing to buy at local deals to save some hassle. My 2 cents. |

Replying to: eddy7523 (Apr 04, 2007 6:51 pm) As for the NE dealers I emailed: Superior came in at $30,947 with 3.9% so that would be $28,947 with the $2K dealer cash (although they didn't explicitly offer that). That was their first offer and they didn't budge when I said I had lower ones. O'Daniel came in at $28,997. Here was the accompanying text: "We pride ourselves on being able to match or beat 99.9% of all other dealer offers. Please give us chance. If you received a lower written price quote, please forward the e-mail to me and I will present it to the General Manager of our dealership and do my best to beat the deal." I sent them my best offer ($28,496 at the time) and this is his reply: "Looks like good price for the polit, but I am going to stick with my quote." I guess I was in the 0.1% (yeah, right). Bellevue sent me an initial quote of $30,947 and said they would contact me in a day or so. They never emailed or called. At this point, I was at $27,996 and figured they weren't going to come down by $3K, even with the dealer cash. I'm not saying Holmes is the best. I work with a guy who has purchased 3 Odysseys and all 3 times started at Holmes and went to Ames because he was treated poorly. Honda of Ames has been bought out by Lithia and supposedly the service is very poor there now as well. That is one of the main reasons I looked elsewhere. I had to email the guy at Lithia 3 times before he responded! I live in C.B. but am very familiar with central IA and Holmes. My sister lives in Grimes and bought her first Accord out here at Superior because Holmes wouldn't deal but bought her second one from Holmes. How aggressive were the three Omaha dealers?

Replying to: thebenefactor (Apr 04, 2007 7:28 am) P would be processing, from my understanding some states have it and some don't. It is basically straight to the dealer money but you can't avoid it here. Here in MD where I'm from it's legally limited to $99, in VA it can go up to $399. S |
