Well I didn't expect to get a new car but the cash for clunkers would allow me to trade in my 00 Jeep Cherokee with 130K thats physically destroyed for 4.5K Now thats nice... all I need is to get an OTD of 17,500 to make the total sale 13K. Anybody getting these deals in the Boston area?

Anybody getting these deals in the Boston are Does a 00 Jeep Cherokee (clunker) have an epa rating of less than 18mpg? Is that supposed to be from the epa sticker (city) that came originally from it? Is the gov't going to release a list of the (approved) models?, or will just websites like edmunds (that go back some years for info ) apply? Since they are only expecting 250,000 cars to be junked and a subsidy released, (out of perhaps 5 million new cars sold the next 6 mo), many may find their clunker unqualified. I believe the old EPA stickers that gave unrealistically high mileage estimates apply. Good luck --jjf

Replying to: jfritsch (Jun 21, 2009 11:58 am) I looked up the EPA website for the new gas mileage standards & my 00 Jeep gets a combined 16 MPG... sad but makes it a qualifier... the Fit combines for 30 so its a go most likely The trade in value per KBB of my car would be $1,300... So a 3K subsidy to buy a fit would be very handy |

Hi All, I have read some interesting posts in this thread. I am about to purchase my first ever new car and have been thoroughly impressed with the Fit. Has anyone here, made a purchase in North Carolina (Raleigh/Durham) area? I did a test drive on this Sport Automatic Blackberry Pearl yesterday and loved it. I went to Crown Honda for that and they quoted me a price of $17,990 OTD price (incl. 99$ pinstripe price??, 3% sales tax, $399 doc fees, $75 tag fees, $250 rebate on preferred employer and $500 rebate if I chose Honda financing). I do not recall the exact invoice price, since I did not get a printed itemized list. But I recall it to be $16,550. Does a price of $17,000 OTD sound reasonable to start the negotiation? Any experience with this would be great. Since I do not want to low ball or get duped either. Thanks a lot:)

Replying to: tunaman4u2 (Jun 23, 2009 7:12 pm) This one dealer mentioned that Honda is a car with limited mark-up. What does this mean? He said that "I am selling you the car for our cost. The only profit for the dealership is a portion of the documentation fee after we pay the ladies who handle titling and registering your vehicle. I will save you additional $75 and sell you the vehicle for $17,850otd" One dealer gave me the pricing as follows: Price: 16944 Sales tax-3%--508.32 $398 dealer documentation fee $74 for a new tag Total OTD-17,924.32 With another dealer close to the city, I received the following quote: Discounted Selling Price: $16,116 Freight $670 (Honda's Destination Charge, Not Ours) Tax $483.48 (if you are trading you will pay less taxes due to the tax credit difference) Tags $188 (we take care of your hard plates, reg, title) Processing $399 = ON THE ROAD = $18,354 Looks like none is coming below 18,000 OTD. So far, all my attempts at asking price of 17,000$ is going in vain. Anyone can guide me how much should I begin to offer them? |

Replying to: sunandshine (Jun 24, 2009 6:53 am) I'm going to hold a very firm line at 17,500K OTD... Keep us posted, Thanks for writing |
