Original equipment tires installed on many brands and models of new cars are often not sold in retail tire stores. Tire manufacturers frequently supply unique model name and model number tires to differentiate OEM and aftermarket models.

Thanks. I got a reply from Goodyear and actually it is a Dunlop SP 31 - not SP 37. Looked like a seven to me! Not much info on the performance rating of this tire out there.

Anyone have experiences of trying to get financing at the dealership you want to share? Are they generally reasonable rates or do they try to force you into higher rate loans since the hybrids are so hot right now?

You are better off going to your credit union and getting pre approved. With that in hand you have a better chance of negotiating a good rate. Be sure it is a straight interest loan. GMAC used to have loans that your payments all went to interest for the first couple years. Then when you thought you had the vehicle paid down it was still close to the purchase price.
My advice, if at all possible is to save for that new car and not pay any lending institution.

Right now Honda financing doesn't have any deals on Civics or Accords. Basically it is Ridgelines that have good leasing deals.
I guess that with money being as expensive as it is, it's kinda hard to subvent rates.
Most of our customers are using credit unions which are about a point below Honda.

FYI: A tax CREDIT of $2,100 is worth exactly $2,100 unless you don't owe that much in taxes, in which case you can't afford one of these cars, OR if you are subject to the Alernative Minimum Tax, in which case you need not sweat a couple thousand bucks. This would be true in nearly all cases.
To say a tax credit is only worth $525 is to be off in the math by $1575, or, maybe a year's worth of gasoline.

Be patient ,it's not on the IRS web site yet,but the law was signed in august by our venerated pres. As of january 06 you will be able to save $2100 from the civic hybrid purchase right off what you owe to the feds at tax time,and if you don't owe this much ,you will get a refund on the income taxes that you have paid thru the year,and if you don't have an income you will get a credit for the next time you owe taxes,capice?
In Connecticut the sale taxe on the Civic Hybrid is eliminated,saving me over $1200,so btw the two incentives($1200+$2100) it saves me at least $3200. In my case buying the hybrid made more sense.

If I bought the car in 2006, when can I actually claim the tax credit? Do I have to wait until Jan 2007 to claim the tax credit for 2006?

It is a 2006 tax credit... Yes, you have to wait until you file your 2006 taxes in 2007.

Since there's a limit on how many people get the tax credit. How will you know if you are one of the first 60k or so buyer of the hybrid vehicle?
