If nothing changes, then I'll probably buy it in 2012. If gas goes to $4 or $5 per gallon, then the resale will probably be much more than the residual.

A reporter is looking to speak to consumers who purchased a larger vehicle but had considered a smaller vehicle when gas prices were high. Or if you're holding off on buying a small car because of the downturn in the economy. Please send your daytime phone number to ctalati edmunds.com by Thursday, March 19, 2009. Thanks, Chintan Corporate Communications Edmunds.com

Replying to: yankee28 (Mar 08, 2009 8:14 am) I talked to a number of dealers over the last two weeks and each time I asked for a lesser price they met it. I think it pays to physically go into the dealerships meeting a salesperson and telling him or her, as I did, that we are going to be ready to buy a specific car in two weeks. I let them know that I would call them at that time or that they could call me and that I would be dealing with several dealerships looking for this price. I had paid for the consumer report listing of all the bottom-line prices after the dealership incentives. If I had settled on that high would've paid a minimum of 22,700. It pays to be cordial straightforward and talkative with these hard-working salespeople. They've got a hard job to do and they work multiple hours every day way beyond an eight hour day. Be human, humane and never be rude but look out for your best interests and practice the 180° turn if you don't get what you need. Prices will continue to go down so there's no need to buy a car today if you don't get the right price. You are in the drivers seat or soon will be.

Replying to: sacramento2 (Mar 24, 2009 6:40 am) I. could have gotten any color that they had and they had a huge selection. Pardon me for not listing the name of the dealership because I'm sure they don't want to be promoted for selling a car at a this specific price. By the response I was getting it all dealerships I don't think my experience with this dealership was unique-- any of them would have... maybe lower even by the time you do this. I'm not sure what matters to have the specific dollar amounts for the inevitable fees that arise. I'll list them below but at best by just keeping them out of your mind will help you negotiate on a specific price. Keep your experience as simple as possible focus on the specific deal at hand. (but don't start the process unless you are sure you want to pay these fees and your new insurance) Sales Price: $20900 Doc fee: $55 Sales tax: $1833 DMV e-filing: $-- License fee: $136 Registration/Transfer fee: $67 California Tire fee: $9

Replying to: pvh (Mar 24, 2009 3:52 pm) I've heard that dealers get "kick-backs" for doing Honda financing (not too sure about the amount) & they don't give Edmunds or KBB price for "trade-ins". Thanks again for sharing. Excellent price.

| I'm in Tarrytown, NY. Dealer told us that the lease is not down to $185 + taxes, = $200 a month or total of $8,000+ over 36 months. Residual is c. $15,000 so a grand total of $23,555 delivered. But he wouldn't run a credit check before we signed the lease (room for extra on the credit deal) and so we didn't sign and will cross check again tomorrow. Any comments appreciated. | |
