Replying to: sov (Aug 18, 2009 9:40 am) Still, losing money to move a Fit just makes no sense. Hey, it worked for you! Did you have a trade they really needed?

Replying to: isellhondas (Aug 18, 2009 11:15 am) I had a '95 Jeep Cherokee/Sport which truly was a Clunker. This must have been the car they envisioned when this legislation was drafted. The Jeep served me well for years especially during any snow activity. But it is not a car for urban living- heavy,slow, sluggish handling and the gas mileage was really poor, it made for a non-pleasurable driving experience.

Replying to: sov (Aug 18, 2009 12:20 pm) That deal made absoultly no sense at all especially with the trouble and expense of dealing with the clunker. Now others who read these forums will expect the same and I don't think this will happen.

Replying to: backy (Aug 18, 2009 4:03 pm) The invoice price has little bearing on the current price of the car. What does it matter how much the dealer paid for the car? It's not like they can return it back to Honda for the price they bought it for(can they?). They've got to sell it at the price the market dictates or just lose more money. I wonder how isellhondas would do as a stock broker. Hold on to your GM stock, don't sell it below what you paid for it. As another GM note, this is the same logic that the papers made a big fuss during the bailout with the statistics that GM were losing $200 for each car they make. So logically one thinks just don't make any cars? But what you don't see is that even if they don't make the cars, they lose even more money as they're still paying for all their employees and overhead, etc etc.

Replying to: backy (Aug 18, 2009 4:03 pm) It doesn't matter where the market is, it just doesn't make any sense for a dealer to, literally lose money just to sell a car. AND have to deal with a clunker. That's all I said so why the venom? |

I got a refund check from the dealer (Penske Honda) for sales tax that was applied to the purchase price BEFORE subtracting the $4500 CFC voucher trade in - about $315 (7% sales tax, Indiana). It is evident that in Indiana, the sales tax is calculated AFTER the $4500 CFC trade in is applied to the price of the car only, but not the doc fees. Thus, my revised OTD for Fit Sport Auto purchased on 7/20 is: $13,395.73 after CFC $4,500 trade-in: 16,154 - price 710 - destination -4,500 - CFC trade in 865.48 - tax 16.25 - Tire Fee 140.00 - Doc Fee 10.00 - Filing Fee (?)

This is an orange Honda Fit Sport AT: Price: 16740 (approx., can't remember the exact price) Doc fee: 299 (insane CT doc fee) Sales tax: 6% OTD: 18256.78 Other dealers offered me 17400+ for the exact same car, only Schaller Honda of New Britain gave me the lowest offer. But that sort of bothers me... |

Hi, I have a clunker, and I want to get some advices here on whether I should wait until the last minute before disclosing I have a clunker qualify for the c4c program? Or I should tell them I have one up front? Thanks |
