Replying to: mt25 (Apr 08, 2006 6:52 pm)  Dealer always wins ! Just like in Las Vegas. If they lower the price of the car , they will still get you on the loan by adding few % to the rate given by the lender, extra warranty, lojack etc. - all those overpriced items make extra $$$ for the dealer. Very good example of such practices is www.carsdirect.com First question they will ak is ......"how much do you want to may per month" They agree to one price & APR so you will give them deposit over the phone on your credit card etc. and 10 minutes later they will call you with some BS story that you do not qualify for previously given rate for some reason..... And if you question their practices F&I "manager" or even a sales rep will hang up the phone. (happened to me yesterday) 90% of car sales people are BAD and not well educated, but they love to talk and will say anything you like as long as they can sell you that car. I was a car salesman for a while, did not make much money since I do not like to cheat unwary customers. Before anyone buys a car you will need to do their homework! Here is a good link for car buyers http://www.carbuyingtips.com/scams.htm To see how the car business looks from inside you can read about all those sales managers with fake Rolexes  http://www.edmunds.com/advice/buying/articles/42962/article.html

Replying to: mattniles007 (Apr 23, 2006 6:04 pm) For EX-P 4wd Automatic for $20477 sounds like a great deal! Just make sure they don't get you on the financing if you are borrowing from them. If you have excellent credit try negoiating it down.

Greeley sounds familiar. If you are anywhere near Beale or Roseville CA I suggest Honda Roseville I had a pleasant experience and got a decent deal. I hate it when a dealer is dishonest. |

I'm starting think that the Element is the car I want, started shopping used small SUVs but the Element is so low... is the 2005 a good car if I find a new one? All the information I find is on the current year... Or would it be worth waiting for the 2007s to come out and shop 2006s? Might there be significant savings? |
