#477 of 2420 re-Buddy Purchased a SportAT..white by arkainzeye Jul 05, 2006 (1:05 pm)
that interest rate is too high for someone with a 780 credit rate. i didnt i got a 6.9% on a used chevy tracker a few years ago. my rating was a 782. new cars always get better interest rates. my guess is they are getting something from that higher rate. from what i am reading i dont consider these dealings with honda dealers anything pleasurable. seems like a lot of take it or leave. reminds me of harley davidson's selling tactics. I know a honda saleman, he also sells nissan. he told me to wait for some nissan that is compariable to the honda fit. he said if i wait till they are both in honda might not be so high and mighty.. just a though..   chris Replies to this message: jimmy5150 (Jul 05, 2006 4:14 pm) guidedbyvoices (Jul 05, 2006 5:00 pm)

Replying to: moparbad (Jun 22, 2006 1:02 pm) Vehicle Theft Registration or VTR is a window etching program that places information on your car that registers it in a large database to reduce car theft problems. The VTR is NOT required by law even if they tell you it is. At the most, in many states law requries that the dealer offers you the VTR service but again the consumer is NOT REQUIRED to accept this option, just like undercoating. Towbin Dodge charges VTR and some dealers do it ahead of time and then try to charge you for it saying it is the law. Tell them you never accepted or requested the VTR service and refuse to pay. Or tell them to order you a car and not etch if if the refuse to remove the VTR fee.   Hope that helps!

Replying to: jimmy5150 (Jul 05, 2006 4:14 pm) Yeah, I got a 5.9% rate through my credit union with a score of 650. If you have a credit union, that is the way to go. It was nice for the first time ever be able to buy a car and not worry if I was gonna get reamed on the rate.
#481 of 2420 interest rate by getnfittywidit Jul 05, 2006 (5:19 pm)
I was able to get 5.59% from Honda Financial Corp. at my dealershp here in VA. New car, 60 month loan, 760 credit score and 10% down got me that rate. The lowest I could find from a bank was 6.3%

yeah 6.9% is higher for a credit score like that! Hell i got 4.9% on a kawasaki motorcycle and banks are not interest friendly for motorcycles.. they are considered "toys"..   chris
#483 of 2420 My buying process by manlok Jul 07, 2006 (7:42 am)
I just got my Storm Silver Fit Sport last night and I damn like it!! Here is my buying process (pretty long story, I try to make it short): - sent out tons of quote requests through internet to all Honda dealerships in Los Angeles area - got a lot of replies, some of them were crap, most of them selling at $1000 higher then sticker price.... about 4 or 5 selling at sticker price - so i know the bottomline was buying at sticker price. I sent email to these 4 or 5 dealerships if they had any car on hand - got one reply that they would have one middle of this week, so I planned to get there last Sat to put the deposit for the car... but then I got his call that the car was already pre-sold.. I was so disappointed at that moment... - I turned to another dealership for which I needed to put $500 in order to be on their waiting list. I went there last Sat to pay for that $500, and the guy told me I may need to wait for more than a month (!!) - Got another call from the original dealer at Sat night, saying that the "pre-buyer" provided fraud information so they couldn't process the paperwork... he asked me if I still want the car, of course I said YES!! - Finished most of the paperwork in that dealership last Sun, and he told me I will get the car either Wed or Thur this week. I called the other guy I would get the car from another dealer so he could remove my name from the waiting list. - Waited for 3 days, no any news. Yesterday got a call from the dealership with my name removed from their waiting list that he had the car now and asked me if I want to get it right the way (!!), he even offered me free wheel locks. So I called the other dealer asking was my car arrived or not, and told them I got a call from another dealership with free wheel lock offering... got his reply in 10 mins that my car was there already and I'd also got free wheel lock from them ^-^ - so I went there last nite, had test drive, signed the rest paperwork, and drove back my new FIT!!! I love it!!   But one thing I wanna ask is, my interest rate from that Honda Financing is 6.29% with credit score 780. Is the interest rate too high? Can I refinance my car loan?

I also got 6.29% froM Honda of America, but my score is below the 'excellent' line...low 700's I think.

Replying to: manlok (Jul 07, 2006 7:42 am) Good job on getting your Fit quickly!   Hondas rates like all rates are climbing. That being said, yes you can re-fi...there is no penalty for an early payoff.
#486 of 2420 My Fit arrived - almost had it! by dap2006 Jul 07, 2006 (5:30 pm)
OK, so my Fit arrived in town! My salesman called and I was set to pick it up today at 5 pm - they were just doing the prep work.   Then, back to reality. My salesman called back to tell me the spoiler had been damaged in transit and would require replacement - now I'm waiting 'til Tuesday! At best!!   I'd say I'm having a "Fit" but I'm really not!! Did I mention that patience has never been my strong suit?!!   The saga continues...
